Recent kitty competitions and D J Bogie results from Mike Healey August 2021

Seniors – Firstly, I would like to thank the other committee members for keeping the kitty comps going during my absence. Some of the cards were kept and I have a couple of results for you, following my sojourn. The D J Bogie was swapped with a Pairs Both to Count because of drainage groundwork and it is these two comps I can now report: Thursday 19th August – Pairs Both to Count – Forty members took part and pressure was placed on partners to keep up a good score. There were quite a number of cards around the 66/67 mark but they were not good enough on the day. The winning scores were as follows: First: Barry Dare and Alan Bottomley 79 points £7.00 each Second: Alan Barnsdale and Peter Fraser 74 points £5.00 each Third: Cliff Davies and Bob Jarvis 71 Points £4.00 each Fourth: Tom McGrady and Russ Adamson 70 points £3.00 each Fifth: Tony Harcombe and Dilly Jones 69 points £1.00 each Thursday 26th August – D J Bogie – As it says in the name, this was a bogey competition and just like Marmite, you like it or leave it. It is not everybody’s cup of tea but 35 Seniors entered and commenced battle. Conditions were cloudy but warm and the sun came through once again, late morning. There are no divisions for this competition so I am reporting top nine and the rest are on Howdidido: First: Liam Roddis +5 Second: Bob Brown +3 (c/b) Third: Mick Carnell +3 (c/b) Fourth: Bob Jarvis +3 (c/b) Fifth: Mike Drake +2 (c/b) Sixth: Dilly Jones +2 (c/b) Dave Fergus, Nigel Davies and Dave A Jones all scored +1. The rest of the field scored par or bogeys.
