 Division 1.
Cefn RBL have again been crowned champions. In mid season the champions were some 7 points behind leaders Ruabon but each week made ground and passed the leaders with about a 5 weeks to go and from then on didnt look back. In their final fixture they destroyed Llan Rafa A 5 0 , Mark Gibbins wrapping up this season proceedings with a fine 51 break against top performer Dylan Williams. Cefn also have reason to celebrate as it was their very own Matthew Roberts who in only the second match of the season recorded the highest break seen for a while in the league, a fine 98 which secures the high break trophy. Robert Dubicki of Ruabon who missed the 1st game of the season became the 2nd player to book his place against our visiting professional Jamie Cope on April the 5th by taking the most wins with 17 from 17. Cons A who now find themselves without a home due to The Conservative Club making a commercial decision to abolish Snooker from their club played their last fixture at the Orthopaedic and went down 2 3 to Ruabon. The result was good enough to take runners up spot and mark the end of a fine last season for Cons A, especially Brian Tudor who after nearly 60 years in the league still finds himself amongst the top 5 players in the league and top of his own teams averages.
Division 2.
Ex Serv D are back amongst the elites best next season after a quick return back up to the 1st division. In their latest fixture they defeated their own B team by 4 frames to 1. The win saw Brian Clarke and Shaun Donnerley (Barney) both win again and both lads have now secured their place to play in the snooker exhibition by finishing on most wins with 15 wins each. Look out for Finals Week Table Maintenance Man Ricey reserving front row seats
Elsewhere Ellesmere B did their level best to throw away their 3 point advantage going into the last fixture after going down 4 1 to Ifton. Results had to go their way elsewhere and after Dreamteam Ex Serv C beat 3rd placed Flexsys B 4 1 it meant Ellesmere B will also be playing top division next season. It was in week 3 of the season that Matt Roberts of Chirk knocked in a 50 break but it has stood ever since and takes the Highbreak Prize.
The Presidents Bowl starts this Wednesday and all fixtures should now be in your clubs.
