05 Sep 2016

Despite the terrible weather that caused Southam United’s Club Finals to be abandoned on Saturday they managed to get all ten finals completed over the weekend. Saturday morning saw Wendy Jeffs just pull ahead at the end to beat Heather Tredgold in the Ladies 4 Wood Singles. In the Novices David Adnitt beat Sheila Lyne whilst John Dover lost first to Ted Coupe in the Mens 4 Wood Singles and then to Ken Tredgold in the Mens 2 Wood Singles. Despite the inclement weather a B-B-Q was held in the evening with David Adnitt and Richard Thornicroft looking after the cooking and Sue Thornicroft and Sheila Lyne arranging everything else. On the Sunday Heather Tredgold beat Marie Bromwich in the Ladies 2 Wood Singles and then teamed up with her husband Ken to beat Marie and Roger Eaton with their last wood in an extra end in the Mixed Pairs. Meanwhile Ted Coupe and Derick Curtis had beaten John Dover and Denis Ward in the Drawn Pairs. In a very keenly contested Mens Handicap Ted Coupe just managed to beat Ken Tredgold. With several players having already played 2 games the Ladies Pairs saw Heather Tredgold and Velisa Brown retain their title against Sue Thornicroft and Sheila Lyne in a tight match whilst in the Drawn Triples Ted Coupe teamed up with Rosalie Ward and Andy Teeney to beat Ken Tredgold, Derick Curtis and Mike Daniels. Special mention should be of Sue Thornicroft and Sheila Lyne who in addition to competing kept the players and spectators fed with bacon and burger butties during both days.
