Ashby B 7-5 Darley Dale A
Sat 17th Sept, Moira
In their final game of the season, the Ashby B team of Heather, Maurice and Julie won 7-5 at home against Darley Dale A to claim top place in East Midlands GC Division 2.
Ashby B finished on 5.5 wins (5 wins and 1 draw) from their 7 games, just ahead of Gainsborough on 5 wins (actually 4 wins and 2 draws). Had today’s match finished 6-6, Gainsborough would have won the Division with one more game win overall (48-47), but in the end it finished 48-48, an indication of how close the league has been this year!
Ashby A finish their season next Saturday 24th Sept with a crucial home fixture against nearest rivals Leicester A. The current standings are Ashby A on 5 wins, and Leicester A on 4.5 wins, so a draw should be enough for Ashby to become Division 1 champions.
