Club Championship 2024-25: Controller’s Report

Elvaldas with club championship trophy

This was a fiercely fought contest running throughout the season, and with a record number of games played (118!). With so many members new to the club, the competition provided an outlet for those who had to take turns at selection for league matches.
The time handicap system evidently worked well, as only Alan G gained a place in the final play-off out of the 1st and 2nd team regulars.

Top score in the initial all-play-all phase was achieved by Evaldas, who clearly benefited from a low rating estimate when he first arrived at the club! He went on to win the top group play-off and thereby becomes club champion for 2024-25. Congratulations Elvi!

The championship for the new 2025-26 season starts from Monday 8 September. Check the club noticeboard for details or the ‘Championship’ tab on this website.
