The respective Singles champions were Di Newman and Chris Ballard, both of them after tight games. For the full list of champions see Results for 2018 - congratulations to each one of you, and to the finalists. Our thanks go to all those people who ensured that the day went off smoothly, in particular Jan Kentish for organising the whole programme, to the markers and scorers, the members who helped set out & clear away the rinks, and tables and chairs for lunch, and a big 'thank you' to the catering team, who laid on a delicious buffet lunch for all the competitors and spectators who attended.

Captains vs. Vice-Captains matches

Peter Ungless Final - Result

The Final of the Peter Ungless Shield (a trophy competed for by the clubs in the Racal Decca Mixed League) took place against Carshalton BC at the neutral Chessington BC ground, on a warm and humid Sunday 19 August. In a hard-fought contest, the teams from Auriol (Geoff Izzard, John Ainsworth, Doreen Weight and Brenda Lisney; Di Newman, James Seeley, Rosemary Wilman and Chris Munro) initially took the lead, but slowly but surely Carshalton adapted to the difficult playing conditions and moved ahead, to emerge as overall winners of the Shield. Our thanks to those members who came along to support our team. Our picture shows Auriol Ladies Captain Doreen Weight with RDML Secretary Jeremy Dearmer.

In the knock-out competition held at the RDML Presentation Day, the team from Auriol reached the final, topping a group comprising the hosts, Ember, plus Carshalton, Cheam, Hook & Southborough and Epsom Court. In the final they met the team from Malden Lime Grove, who emerged the overall winners. The picture below shows the Auriol team (Di Newman, Rosemary Wilman, Geoff Izzard & David Regan) receiving their runners-up prize from Ember President Ken Homewood.

Trophy Triumph
After a nail-biting finish to the Home and Away legs of our annual Hazel Williams Trophy match against Burpham BC, Auriol won back the Trophy. The first leg ended in a draw, but Auriol won the second leg, at Burpham, by 5 shots (76-71), thus clinching the series. The picture shows our winning team at Burpham.
