The final took place at The Richmond club, Military D beat Shop Assistants 281 to 256, The presentation of the cups took place afterwards, most teams involved donated their prize money  to the league charity, Military D donated £50, Shop Assistants £40, Woolfy's Pack £25 and Ratbags £25 (did not attend) so a big thankyou to those teams. The only downside was that the food that had been ordered did not turn up!!!  Well done to all who took part in the summer competition and good luck in the forthcoming winter season if you are taking part.
