Veterans League
Huddersfield Recreation Club is celebrating it's first full season under their new name (previously Canalside) by winning the Veterans League Sub-Team KO Final against Lowerhouses. Section 3 team Lowerhouses started favourites but the Section 4 leaders were quickly into their stride and won 6 of the 7 games and finishing with a 169-121 aggregate advantage. They had started with a 5-point handicap start but that was never a factor in their victory. Lowerhouses are a good team, having a good season but on the day the Recreation Club were clearly the better team, so congratulations to them.
The Sub-Team Knock-Out is for the teams that do not qualify for the Team Knock-Out which is primarily teams that finished the previous League season in the bottom half of the Section 3 table or in Sections 4 or 5. The format is the same as a League match, 4 Singles and 3 Pairs with the better aggregate score determining the winner. In the event of a draw then the team that won most of the 7 individual games will be declared the winner.
I am grateful to the Huddersfield Recreation Club and David Sykes for the photographs below.
