CSMBA Affiliated Club County Triples

12 Oct 2025

CSMBA : County Club Triples. Sunday 12th October 2025.

We had 10 teams from 7 affiliated clubs that entered the inaugural county club triples competition.

This was an unusual competition but very much enjoyed by all participants.

Matches were played over 7 rounds with all teams playing all rounds and this was a welcome alternative to those members who sit out rounds in other formats.

Teams arrived and played in club colours and it was nice to see the camaraderie between team players and their opposition. A very good day all round.

Following the 7 rounds surprisingly no team won all games and scoring was close.

The final placings were recorded as follows:

1st Team Gorefield 2 made up of Billy Chapman, Peter Griffiths & Mike Carter with 12 points and a shot difference of + 30.

2nd Team Gorefield 1 made up of Steph & Barry Stanford with Malcolm Spriggs with 11 points and a shot difference of + 19.

3rd Team Walpole Highway 1 made up of Maureen Bell, David Wilcox and Roly Fincham with 9 points and a shot difference of + 25.

Following a very successful raffle the event returned a total £115.70  for CSMBA funds following all deductions.

On the day we received a lot of positive comments about the format and competition type so hopefully we will run it again in 2026.
