BCC’s C & D teams in the GC Advantage League met at home, as is customary, in the first of their series matches. As they set out on their mission to defend their divisional title, David Dibben’s hardened warriors in D (DDD) emerged as convincing winners. The 11-5 score line , the same as last year, left David Vincent’s C team licking familiar wounds.
With the Bryants as its backbone, Dibben’s gang won many more games than any other team in the regional group in 2024.. On this occasion, Jackie led from the front, with four games out of four; Captain Dibben scored 3, with Simon and David Grinstead on 2. For C, Carol and Susan won two each, with Andy E on one.
The match successfully trialed the new Target scoring system, though David Grinstead had to fight on to the 16th hoop to confront large handicap differentials. Thanks too, to David Vincent, on the sidelines this time, for excellent stewardship and hospitality.
Bravo DDD. The way is clear for that regional supremacy so narrowly denied last September.
