The mixed B team played the final of the knock out handicap cup on 3 May, away at John of Gaunt School in Trowbridge. The team were missing a player, but many thanks to Holly for the stand in!

The team had a 50 point deficit to catch up over 18 games, and therefore needed to win 21-18 on average. The team stepped up to the challenge, with only one game dropped over the course of the night. The final score was 340 - 299.

Many thanks to Phoenix B for some great games!

8 April: Mixed C were away against Phoenix C. Our team were heading out a lady short, and the opponents were two men short. An anti-climactic 5-2 win in their final match of the season

12 April: The Doubles A were away to Corsham A in their final match of the season, which would also decide the title between the two teams. The team were missing three of their regulars, but luckily subs were found and the team came away with an 8-1 after several close three enders. This was enough to see the team finish at the top of division 1.

In other news, the Tony Winslow and Gillian Scott Wiltshire inter district tournaments were held on 3 April and 10 April. Chippenham 23 showed it's strength within the mid wilts area by making up nine of the 16 players in the Tony Winslow team, which saw off the teams from Swindon and Salisbury districts with ease.

We also had two players from Chippenham 23 playing in the Gillian Scott, and a Chippenham 23 player volunteering as non-playing captain. Mid Wilts placed second in the Gillian Scott after being narrowly beaten 27-21 by Swindon.
