The County’s Winter Super League attracted a good entry for the playoffs at the Roffey Club where three titles were up for grabs. The League Champions Worthing provided the winner in the first of the day’s three finals, when James Greenfield defeated Brighton Rileys’ youth star Joe Davis by 3-0 in the final of the Singles.

East Division winners Lewes made up for their disappointing display in the Championship playoff when their duo John Palmer and Darren Banks took the Pairs title. defeating the strongly fancied partnership of Rod Hawkins and Jim Withers by 3-0 in the final.

The Champion of Champions produced a cluster of top class matches and was a triumph for Newhaven’s Paul Eves after he knocked out last season’s winner James Greenfield in the first round.

Paul went on to win the final by 3-2 against Littlehampton’s Jason Hills, collecting the biggest cash prize of the day £250.

The League presented over £3500 in prize monies to the sixteen teams this season.

Worthing won this season’s Sussex Mens Winter Super League Championship in a playoff, which

featured five ton plus finishes, at the Roffey Social Club, defeating the East Division winners Lewes by 5-0.

 

The Globe team had previously won their Division by twelve points from last year’s champions Roffey and they have now achieved their ambition to represent Sussex in the British Champions Cup to be staged in August, something they were denied as Summer League Champions two years ago when the qualification was changed.

 

Lewes were undefeated in winning their Division this season by fifteen points from Newhaven but again could not overcome their Roffey bogey, this being their third defeat here in playoffs. 

 

Richard Dixon started the ball rolling for the Worthing side with a 3-2 win over County star Ian Perkins, clinching the win in the fifth leg with a 103 checkout.

 

Andy Stanford continued the Globe team’s winning start, beating another County “A” team player Mark Davis 3-2 with a match award average of 25.77, taking the deciding fifth leg with a 100 finish.

 

Mark hit two maximums to record a 26.77 average.  Richard Stanford was next up for Worthing and his 3-0 win over Jon Palmer, including a 113 checkout was followed by another win for the seasiders by Dave Smith, beating Reg Harding Jnr 3-2.

 

The fifth game was critical for Lewes and their man Dennis Sains fought hard, coming back from 2-1 down with a 101 checkout in a 15 dart leg, after Worthing’s Ken Sowerby had taken the second leg with a 157 finish. However, it was the Globe player who clinched the match finishing on 66 to win 3-1 and secure the Championship.
