Things kicked off after the Christmas break in Division One with 9-1 home victories for all the leading squads.

Sonning Common and Peppard A overcame Kingfisher C, the visitors’ only joy coming as young Theo Kniep won over Jason Roberts.

Ed Lush and Daniel Moses completed the victory in fine style. Kingfisher A have a game in hand and pushed aside Sonning Common and Peppard C despite Danny Dockree performing well to beat Rishaan Sawant 3-0 and winning an end over both Martin Adams and Hari Gehlot.

Kingfisher B remain in touch as they defeated struggling Sonning Common and Peppard B who once again could only muster two players.

Their sole point came when Tom Astle beat Cath Venning but neither he nor Tim Raby could challenge Julian Telford and Graham Mendick as Kingfisher ran out 9-1 winners.

Sonning Sports climbed to fourth as they pipped Kingfisher D 6-4. Expectedly, Dave Croucher powered through to achieve his maximum, but Kingfisher’s Mike Douglas fought hard to gain a double over Nick Sears and Paul Savage to limit the damage.
