This result leaves Braughing still leading the way with 24 points from 4 matches. Hertford Heath have now completed their matches and finish with 20 points from their 6 games. Little Hadham in 3rd on 14 points from 3 matches are the only team with a chance of catching Braughing, they still have them to play home and away. Shenley are on 14 points from their 5 games.

Result from the 1st division

Great Amwell 8-0 Bedmond (+26 Shots to Great Amwell)

A fantastic win for Great Amwell sees them close in on the teams above them and leaves Bedmond somewhat cut adrift at the foot of the table. Defending champions Stanstead Abbotts still lead the way with 28 points from their 6 matches. Symonds Green are just a point behind but do have a game in hand. Essendon also have a game in hand and are still in contention on 22 points. Great Amwell are on the same number of points but have played a game more. Bedmond have 13 points from their 6 matches and will need two convincing wins to stand any chance of avoiding an immediate return to the 2nd division.

Hertfordshire face Essex in their vital final ECCBA league fixture at Ware Drill Hall on Sunday 15th March. Eleven points are required to reach 100 points. This would also ensure that we finish above our opponents and would mean Cambs. would need to win away at Suffolk to leapfrog us in the table. After the season we have had though we should be looking to win our final fixture and should be disappointed if we don't.

1. Thomas Ellis                  1. Jackie Harden            1. Dave Smith 

2. Andy Cobbold                 2. Margaret Forrest        2. Roy Harden

3. Sandra Gammage          3. Marilyn Cook               3. Jonathon Carter

As I am sure most of you are aware each year the winners of the county titles go on to represent Hertfordshire at the ECBA Champion of Champions. This years event is being held in Wolsingham, County Durham on the weeknd of 6th/7th June. This event is held in a leisure centre so there is no accommodation on site. Therefore, accommodation needs to be booked separately. 

The 4's winners are uanle to attend and as Craig Hearn won the singles and the pairs (he is playing in the pairs) we need representatives for the fours and the singles. The procedure for this when the winners can not attend is as follows;

1. Runners up

2. Last years winners

3. Committee decision

In both competitions options 1 and 2 are not possible. Therefore it will be a committee decision for both events. As we need to allow our representatives time to book their accommodation the committee will be making a decision at the Essex game on Sunday 15th March. If you would like to be considered for selection then please let Pete Cook know ([email protected]) before the 15th

Craig Hearn defended his county singles title today (01-03-15) after defeating Rebecca Hearn in the final after an extra end.

It was Craig's 6th singles title and his 30th county title overall, a great achievement. Rebecca narrowly missed out on becoming the 2nd female winner of the singles (Sandra Gammage only previous winner) and missed out on joining the elite group of Craig Hearn, Mick Hearn, Pete Cook, David Danby & Neil Tuckey as the only people to have won all four county titles. 

The draw for the Herefordshire County Singles on Sunday 1st March has now been made and is available to view on the website under;

After last weeks result against Suffolk there are new leaders in the overall season points total. Marilyn Cook and Pete Cook (Marilyn has better shot difference) now hold a three point lead over the chasing pack.

It is still very tight with just 9 points separating the top 18 players. This is a good indication of our level of improvement as the leading points scorers last year (Rebecca & Craig Hearn) ended the season on 34 points. We still have the home match with Essex and the six counties event left in the season.
