 2019 - Another successful year for Kings Chase

This turned out to be the season of 'so close' with some big games being lost by 1 shot

LSC

KC reached the final of the Shield competition and played Bromley at Bounds Green in the morning. Having been well down early on the boys fought back to take the lead only to lose the match by 1 shot due to a very fortunate Bromley wick when we had one hand on the Trophy

In the afternoon Barry, Rob and Jamie played the Triples final and found themselves 15-2 down at 12 ends, however, the boys came back and were 16-13 down going into the last end where they picked up a 4 to snatch victory and it felt like some justice after the morning's loss.

County

On a sunny morning at Braintree Adam played the final of the Benevolent Trophy, it was a close affair which Adam could have won holding game on 2 or 3 occasions only for his opponent to save the ends and run out the winner with Adam losing by that 1 shot

In the afternoon KC played a strong Essex County side in the Double Fours and after a very close match the boys lost by....... yep 1 shot

In the Fours Chris Martin's rink won through to the quarter finals at Witham, along with Seaton, Peter and Rob they forced an extra end which they lost by 1 shot.....Again!

In the Triples Conway, Brian and Jamie reached the quarter final at Braintree losing a match that they were very unlucky to lose, this time by 2 shots.

Mark joined the Triples in the South Essex Fours where we lost in the Semi-final - don't ask!

RBA

Seaton become the Singles Champion again, comfortably beating John Lewis from Elm Park

In the Pairs Conway subbed for an injured Terry Brown and with Seaton they ran out winners by 8 shots against Ray Bell and Roy Parsons from Rainham

Conway subbed again in the Triples and along with Dave England and Adam they beat a Triple from Rainham

Howard was unlucky in the Silver Jubilee singles final losing to Tony Allen from Upminster by......1 Shot, you couldn't make it up!

Seaton was awarded the Charter Cup and KC were awarded the Twine Cup which are awarded for the most appearances in the RBA Finals for points gained.
