• It was Ken's second ever win of the Quaich - the previous one being 1996
• Ken is the oldest ever winner of the Quaich (65.4)
• Ken's margin of victory was 14 points - the biggest gap since Ian Sharp's 2000 win
• For the second year in a row, there were no cancellations or postponements
• 21 players took part this season, with an average score of 30.8
• There were 11 separate weekly winners
• Jack "won" the DoD's with 5, but John M ran him close with 4
• There were as many as 15 separate DoD's
• The average weekly attendance was 11.3
• There were only seven 40-pointers, coming from just 5 players - Ken P had 3 of them
• The season's high score was 43 points - shared by Rob and Ken P
• Ian D had the season's best gross (73)
• Ken P had the season's lowest score (13), so naturally had the largest range (30)
• Jas had the season's lowest winning score (33)
• Ian McR had the season's highest DoD score (29)
