THE Annual Presentation of the Radstock and District Pool League was recently held at Westhill Sports and Social Club.

The Shed Potters retained the Division One winners trophy for a third year as they kept Westhill Club B in the runners up spot. Third place went to The Shed, meaning the top three were exactly the same as the previous season.

In Division Two, Strode Arms, in their first season, emerged as champions with Westhill Sports taking second place ahead of the Butchers Arms who finished third. In the Team Knockout, the cup was won by Shed Potters and the Plate by Lamb, Clandown.

Scott Coates (Westhill B) was Open Singles champion, Josh Button (Shed Potters) won the Captains Cup and, along with George Chubb (Shed Potters), also took the Pairs competition and the newly introduced Scotch Pairs competition.

The Ladies competition was won by first time entrant Anna Hoseith of The Lambettes, Over 50’s by Gary Bullocke (The Shed) and Under 21’s by Charlie Johnson (Charlies Angels).

Player of the Year in Division One was Anthony Ford (Shed Potters), and Division Two Player of the Year was Rob Walkington (Butchers Arms).

Rob was the overall player of the year as his win record for the season was marginally better than Anthony’s.

Before the presentation began, an award was presented by former chairman Jim Witcombe to John’s wife Ruth in recognition and appreciation of her role as treasurer for more than 30 years.

The committee expressed their thanks to the Westhill Sports and Social Club for providing a fantastic buffet and for allowing the league to use the venue for meetings throughout the season. Thanks also went to John Newport who did his usual sterling job as photographer for the evening.
