Cobbetts Doubles

The 2002 Cobbetts Open Doubles Competition was played on Saturday, 6th April. This has always been a normal Sunday competition in the past but this year we thought we'd try something different and run it on a Saturday afternoon/evening. Initially the entry had been limited to 24 teams but at the last minute we managed to squeeze in another 4. Unfortunately we still had to turn away another 3 teams.

Play started at 2 pm on a lovely sunny day but with a strong wind blowing which prevented us erecting our newly acquired gazebo! Teams played in 4 team leagues as usual but with all games limited to a maximum of 45 minutes. There was a 10 minute break between rounds to allow players to buy burgers and hotdogs from Pete Young's BBQ and a slightly longer break while the Grand National was on!

The competion then split into Main, Plate, Wooden Spoon and Oh Dear Never Mind knock-out competitions, again with timed games in each round except the final.

Play was completed by about 7:30 pm and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely an experiment that seemed to work and one we will be trying again. Some of the newly laid terrain was rather challenging as there had been no rain to help bed it down but hopefully it will be better by next time when we should be able to fit in 32 teams.

The results were:

Competition Placing Team Players
Main Winners Lambetts Dave Stubbs & Kath Knight
Runners-up Limesdowne Paul & Sheila Hayward
Semi-Finalists Solent KAL Karen Lombard & Leesa Rhodes
Farmhouse 2 Bob & June Buxton
Main Consolage Winners Crondall 1 Allan & Carol Paice
