Triples County Championship

Triples County Championship (Sunday 14th December 2025)

This year we had 12 teams battling it out for the triples county championship. Unfortunately we could not run this particular event as a joint national qualifier (NQ) as we had insufficient teams electing to enter the NQ.

The minimum number for NQ events is 4 x teams.

Likewise the corresponding under 18’s singles championship that we ran at the same event last year attracted no entries. This is very disappointing particularly as the entry fee was to be waived and met from CSMBA funds.

We changed the format for the triples this year and all 12 team via open draw played 5 rounds each of 8 live ends.

This format resulted in the top two teams playing in the final.

The final placings were confirmed as follows:-

1st TEAM 3 : Jayne Thorpe, Rob Bonello & Billy Chapman

2ndTEAM 6 : Lynn Boddye, Linda White & Joe Peters.

3rd TEAM 9 : Charlie Rate, Peter Gary & Brian Beecham

 

Following a very successful raffle a total of £164.66 was credited to CSMBA funds from this event.
