West Cheshire Shield - Final
The two teams based on Heath Road contested the West Cheshire Shield
Final last night at St. Werburgh's Club, and it was Upton B who prevailed
over Upton A.
Upton A batted first and struggled to keep up with the vastly more
experienced B team who played more consistently throughout. Indeed, by full
time seven of the B players had scored over 60, compared to only two from
the A side.
At half time the scores were 211-278, and at full time 378-512.
Congratulations to Upton B who collect their second cup of the season.
Also, congrats to the newly formed Upton A team who did very well in getting
to the final. The only way is up!

26th June 2024
Northgate Cup - Final
The first of this season's finals was played tonight at the Cross Foxes,
with Upton B taking on St. Werburgh's Club.
Upton B batted first, and some consistent play from both sides saw the two
teams separated by just 25 points at the break, with Upton holding the
advantage, HT scores 277-252. Indeed, Upton B did not have an
individual stick under 32 throughout the first half, which is excellent.
That first half lead proved to be decisive. The second half was much
closer, with Upton B adding just 2 to their overall lead to win the game by
27 points, and the Northgate Cup FT scores 514-487. Congratulations to
Upton B, indeed to both teams, because all night there were only two
individual sticks under 20 (one for each side).
Top scorers
Upton B ... R. Evans 72, B. Tipton 71, J. Lea 70, T. Randles, C. Jones, R.
Evans (all 64)

Derek Jones - 5 ball shot
In last night's 5-a-side match, Bawn Lodge v St. Werburgh's, Derek Jones
of St. Werburgh's played an incredible last ball his second stick.
After seven balls, Derek had nothing down, and the black was in between the
8 and 9 cups and almost completely surrounded by other balls. Derek
did very well just to hit the black, and in doing so, sent all the balls
round the black in seemingly every direction, and FIVE of them ended up in
cups. Never seen anything like it before, quite incredible to witness!
A Derek Jones has now been added to the Terminology page, just in case it
happens again one day!

Bagatelle Table with side pockets For Sale
I have been contacted by someone who has a bagatelle table for sale.
The table has been in the family since the 1930's, having been purchased
from a local pub, but has been in storage for a number of years and is no
longer required. The table is 10ft by 3ft 8ins approx and has side
pockets. It requires some TLC but could be restored into a very nice
table indeed. An interesting feature is that it has octagonal
legs, surely a sign of a quality build.
If anyone out there is interested, please let me know, and I will pass your
details on to the seller.

Apologies: None
Agenda:

Competition sponsored by Bawn.

January 24.
Ed Wicks open the
meeting just after 8pm.
1. A discussion was had with regards to a new ‘open’ competition sponsored
by Bawn Lodge. Rob Bawn explained his thoughts for the competition. It would
be run as a team knockout format. Best of 5 sticks (1 point per stick) top 2
from each team going forward. With 10 teams in the league this will give 20
players.
As this will be an open
competition 12 places will available to players not connected to current
teams. Overall scores should be kept as any places not filled will be
allocated to highest scoring sticks. 32 players will then play over
two evening at Bawn Lodge with the remaining 16 on a finals evening again at
Bawn Lodge.
Prize money for this event will be:
Winner: £300, Runner Up: 100, 2 losing semi finalists: £50 each
The competition will be
organised and run by Bawn Lodge and advertised throughout league venues and
website.
2. A discussion was had
with regards to a complaint made by Upton B against The Greyhound with
regards to the misuse of rule 37 in the league rules.
It was acknowledged by
all that there had been no rules broken so no further action needed to be
taken. It was also noted that as rule 37 could be open to individual
interpretation the rule would be amended to hopefully alleviate matters. Any
amendments will be proposed for the 2024 AGM.
There being no further
business Ed closed the meeting.

West Cheshire Shield Preliminary Round
With six committee members present, plus other witnesses, the draw for the
Preliminary Round of the West Cheshire Shield was held at Bawn Lodge after
the match last night. Teams and venues were drawn as...
Bawn Lodge v Bridgewater at the Union Vaults
Egerton v Union Vaults at the Bridgewater
Games to be played on Wednesday, 15th November 2023. All other
entrants have received a bye into Round One.
Bagatelle Table News
 The Waggon and Horses table, which has been in storage for many years,
has been sold to the Chapel House pub in Burtonwood, Warrington. The
pub is run by Katie Johns who had the Spital Vaults and loves the game, so
she's very pleased to have acquired the table.
This opens up the possibility of a Warrington v Chester game sometime in the
future (?). Would be a first if it comes off. Could be
individual teams, or a combined all-pubs Chester team! Who is picking
that, and who would you put in it?
☺
It's not the first time inter-city games have been contemplated.
I remember years ago a game was arranged between the Egerton Arms in Brook
Street (who I played for at the time) and a team from Widnes. A buffet
was laid on, but the Widnes team didn't show up. We were all very
disappointed.
Another game which never materialised was Chester v Coventry, but sadly the
Coventry league died before this happened. The plan was for two
matches, one there using Coventry Rules, and one here with our rules.
Some people from Coventry actually came up to Chester to watch a Cup Final
being held in St. Werburgh's Club.
Normally no practice is allowed before a final, but we moved all the
participants away from the table so we could demonstrate our rules before
the final. The people from Coventry were amazed at how simple our
rules were compared to theirs. It's possibly why the game has survived
here and not other parts of the country. We are all very privileged to
play in the last Bagatelle League in the world!
