Les Hills or Sir Les as he is more commonly and
affectionately known, has been in this league from the
start. He won the second Open Singles back in 1986. Sir Les has never had a bad word to say about anyone and more importantly no one has a bad word to say about him, he is a true gentleman. Sir Les is moving from the area in April up to Lighthorne with his wife to be closer to the immediate family. He will be sorely missed and the Committee along with his teammates from the Double 7 formerly the Ex Services, would like to show our respect and honour him and his time in the league and feel it fitting to rename the Codgers Cup to “The Sir Les Hills Codgers Cup” from next year. Best wishes Sir Les from the Committee |

League Update The division
singles venues are now sorted. A big thank you to Banstead
Village Club allowing us to use their facilities despite
having no competitors. Also, the Double 7 club have invested
in a second table and with new management are happy for us
to use their venue. All teams have
now left Brooklyn Bar and Billiards. The Bees have found a
temporary venue outside of the area however this will only
affect 4 matches and it is a good venue. Please double
check the venues before heading off. Unfortunately,
Brooklyn Hustlers have folded. For all of the second half of
the season their fixtures will be treated as byes. The one
good thing is that this frees up March 28th for
the Village Idiots to play Woldingham A in the postponed
game. The Mixed
Doubles date has been swapped with the KO Cup Semi Finals.

Good luck Nick Nick Pool is
moving out of the area later this month and we the committee
and the league owe him a great debt of gratitude. We wish
him all the best for the future. I have been
assured he will be popping back on occasions. Nick has played
in this league well over 20 years, winning promotions and
becoming a solid Premier Division player, winning 9 comps
along the way, most notably the Open Singles in 2022 Nick has
captained and/or been a part of one of the league’s
Interleague teams for many, many years. He has also
represented Surrey for 20 years as part of the main squad
and the seniors, racking up around 400 frames. In recent years
Nick has been an extremely important part of the Committee,
along with valuable input at meetings, handing out trophies
at presentation night, he also did the weekly rankings and
aided competition draws.

The
RRDPL will be running a Summer League to introduce the new
rule set. It is free to enter and
registration forms need to be submitted by May 5th.
The forms can be given to me, emailed or posted on Facebook. It will in essence be the
same format as the winter league only with 4 players and 12
frames. That is to allow for the holiday season. It will run over 8 to 9
weeks depending on numbers. You will only play an opponent
once. This is open to existing
teams and new teams, you can even create a team just for the
summer league. We will not be allotting
ranking points nor playing any competitions. Click on the words
Summer League in the side bar
for forms, result cards and rules. |
