bulletSummer League 2006

9 teams competed in the 2006 Brighton Summer League and were split into a group of 5 and a group of 4. From Group A the Windmill C progressed as group winners, and were joined in the semi finals by the Duke of Wellington. In Group B the Windmill B and the Montreal qualified to the semis. In the semis both the group winners lost out as the Montreal beat the Windmill C 3-2, and the Duke of Wellington beat the Windmill C 3-2.

In the final the Duke of Wellington emerged as champions with a 4-1 win over the Montreal. Well done to the Duke of Wellington for winning their first tournament - and the first they have entered - the winning team were John Perrin (capt), Gary Frizzell, Dave Richings, Brian White, Roy Chuter.

Congratulations to the Duke of Wellington who won the Brighton Summer League final at the Brewery Tap.

- Gary Frizzell won the first game on the last ball to put the Duke into a 1-0 lead
- Regg3y (John) Perrin lost the second game courtesy of the black peg so the Montreal equalised. Regg3y was so far behind he had a toilet break with a couple of minutes still left. 1-1
- Game 3 proved pivotal. Gary Mechan started off with 3k only to lose them but then Dave Richings put the break down 4 times. Gary then pegged another potentially winning break only to get the break back again….and put the balls down 4 times. Dave cleared up to win by around 400. 2-1
- Roy Chuter, landlord of the Duke, sealed the win with a solid display 3-1
- Brian White then made the final score line a flattering 4-1 by winning the last game

The Duke have won the tournament (and as Roy pointed out the first they have entered) – well done to them. Well done also to the Montreal who did very well to reach the final after just completing their first season in division 2 last year. Good luck to them for the upcoming season.
