The Cobbetts Indoor Winter League was back at Quob Stables on a Friday night. A slightly different experience from before with, sadly, the cafe no longer open. The organisers from Cobbetts did their best to provide some hot drinks but it also meant, with no stable staff present, they were left with the responsibility of locking-up at the end! There were 10 teams entered and it was good to see lots of old friends along with several players new to the sport. Thank you to everyone who turned out but especially Muscliff and Crondall for making the long journey.

1st Glenn Floyd, Kris Geddes (River Hamble) 3 wins +25
