Correction. My euphoria and article, last week, regarding the Men's NFBA Division 5 achievements, were mistaken. My knowledge of the situation was gleaned from the League Table published on the NFBA website, last Sunday. The website has now been corrected which leaves Ringwood B in 3rd place and unfortunately, will not now be playing for the Ivor Fourmy Trophy on League Competitions Finals Day, Saturday 10th September at Lymington BC. Apologies to all for this error.
The Harry Wright Trophy series of matches is now complete. This year there were only three qualifiers, (those who played in at least 75% of matches). Congratulations to the following. The winner is Ivan Griffin with 53points and the Runner Up is Peter Smith on 18 Points.
