As reported previously, Keith and I didn't fare as well as we hoped on Wednesday but John Meaden certainly did much better and leapfrogged Keith in to 3rd place overall. For those that couldn't access the file on the Yahoo site, here's the closing top 10:
- Sharp, Ian 377
- Stewart, Ian 374
- Meaden, John 372
- Gray, Keith 371
- Dring, Ian 370
- Simpson, Jack 366
- Taylor, Dick 361
- Corbett, Daniel 360
- Pollard, Rob 351
- Cook, Archie 341
It was Ian's 4th win in the Quaich overall - a record. It was a fairly narrow margin of victory, and the winning total was 9 points less than last year, but it was more than enough.
If I had managed a few more points, I would have become the oldest winner ever. Dick won it when he was 60 back in 2006, but, at 61 (and a half), I had a chance of beating this. Don't suppose the chance will come along again - there's none of us getting any younger.
The record winning points score goes right back to the first year of the Quaich in 1991 when Jas scored 409 points (although the detailed records for 1992, 1995 & 1996 are missing - Bill, me and Ken P being the winners on those occasions).
The record winning margin, however, was Terry's astonishing 31 point gap over 2nd in 1998.
The best average score over all rounds played this year was John McWhinnie's 35.3 - although he only played 7 times. Keith was next on 35.0, with me and Ian Sharp close behind on 34.9.
The narrowest range of scores in the top 10 was Ian Dring's 11 point span - never scored less than 30 points, with a maximum of 41. Keith and Dick had a range of 12, and I was 13.
Attendances were down a little on last year at 11.9 per week.
We ended up with sixteen 40 pointers - exactly the same as last year.
More stats another time.
