A reminder that the closing date for the county singles (being held on Sunday 26th February), is this Sunday - late entrants may not be accepted 

I have consolidated the previous winners information from our four county titles into one list. There are 67 players who have won a Hertfordshire County title, with Mike Bennett just missing out on becoming the 68th after losing in yesterday's (29-01-17) pairs final.

Of the 67 players, 37 have won just the one title. There are 13 players who have won two titles, with all but four of those winning in two different disciplines. Of the remaining 17 players, all have won in more than one discipline.

There are just four players (Craig Hearn, Mick Hearn, Pete Cook & Neil Tuckey) who have won all four disciplines, these are highlighted in yellow. There are a further five players who will be looking to join that list this season as they are just looking for one further discipline to complete the set. David Danby just needs to win the fours, Sandra Gammage & Rob Wahsbrook just need to win the triples and Rebecca Hearn & Marilyn Cook need to win the singles.

Everybody has some way to go to catch up the leader Craig Hearn. Craig has won an incredible 31 county titles winning each discipline at least six times!
