WCC Centenary Snooker Post #23
Continuing the series of Centenary Posts, committing all this history & nostalgia to digital records, here is the D&DB&SL end-of-season League Tables for the 1992-93 season.
This was to be the last year of Tony Stenning's hand written leagues as home computers were now becoming the norm. This copy is once again provided by our Club Snooker Rep. of that time, Phil Hall.
In the Premier Division Wallingford A recaptured the title from the previous years winners, Oracle B. It was to be the last time the A Team won the Premier for over 5 subsequent seasons. Rich (Dickie) Sambell won the Premier High Break trophy with a creditable 64.
The First Division title was won by Esso Research A (or Infineum at Milton Hill as it is now, who sadly are no longer in the D&DB&SL). The First Division High Break trophy was won by a young Paul Archer (yes, the now Captain of Abingdon RBL) with a 40.
The Second Division title was won by Challow RBL B (a club who gladly return to the D&DB&SL next season) & the Second Division High Break trophy was won by R. Rawlings with a 38 (surely not Richard Rawlings... of Gas Monkey Garage? Guess we'll see who watches Fast n Loud?).
The Third Division title was won by County Club & a certain D. Baker burst on the scene, making a sizeable 64 break to take the Third Division High Break trophy.
In the last year of the Fourth Division Oracle C took the divisional title & R. Hiles made a 75 break to take the High Break prize for Division 4.
Wallingford A doubled up their Premier Division title by winning the John Evans Cup Final, whilst Marlborough B won the end-of-season Jim Taylor Cup.
In Pairs Comps, Wallingford B Team Doubles pairing of Dave Greathead & Pete Billingham won their first (of 3) D&DB&SL Doubles title, whilst Dave Hammond & Nigel Prior (Marlborough) won the 2 Man Team event.
In solo events, Doug Howse secured a hat trick of consecutive Billiards titles & the aforementioned Dave Baker secured the Under 23s title. He wasn't finished there though as 'Bakes' went on to win the prestigious Singles title, becoming the first player ever to win the Under 23s & Singles in the same season.
This feat would not be repeated until 1997-98 season by Dave Taylor (Oracle), again in 1999-2000 by a certain Phil Collins (then of Fairmile) who went on to repeat it in 2001-02 & lastly in 2008-09 by Ollie Hoeblyn (again, Oracle).
As always, please feel free to message me with any contributions of your own which you may have (photographs, newspaper cuttings, etc.) & I'll add them to the feeds.
