I am pleased to declare the 2022-3 snooker season now over, with all competitions played roughly on time. The prize winners and finalists are listed below. Congratulations to all involved and thank you to all participants for your enthusiasm in playing in the leagues and knockouts.
Pradip Patel won the scratch knockout for the third time in a close final against Alex Rose. Well done to Pippa Walker for winning the Roberta Luxton Trophy for a second time; she beat Catherine Liddell in a close final.
It was nice to see two new finalists in last summer’s Roehampton Club Shield; the summer handicap knock out. Congratulations to Nick Yates for his win and to Richard Williams for going so far. Alex Rose won the winter handicap knockout against Pradip, and again has dominated the Best Breaks list.
We have struggled again to arrange inter-club fixtures this year, but we did manage a friendly against RAC Woodcote Park who we beat convincingly, see photo. I am delighted to report that we are in the final of the London Clubs’ team event again in October, chasing our third victory.
Alex Rose reached the semi-final of the new scratch individuals’ version of that competition. He lost to a player who has become a regular rival from the East India Club.
The one summer tournament, the Roehampton Shield (Summer Handicap KO), has started; good luck everyone. Please try to meet those deadlines on time. Leagues will start again in September. Please contact me (anowell@harrodian.com) if you would like to join the leagues or any other competitions. The section is growing all the time and we look forward to the much needed and anticipated second table that is part of the Club’s development plan.
Have an enjoyable summer,
Andy
