Runner Up Newton Abbot
Thanks to Dean Clayton for refereeing .
Devon and Exeter Racketball 2 team also won the ladies league this year. They just
won more points at the end of the season and finally overtook Torquay who had
been top of the table nearly all season. The Michael Spiers league cup was
presented after the presentation of the racketball competition cup.
The finals evening played at Newton Abbot was a very good evening with many
spectators coming to support both teams and to watch a very good standard of
racketball.
After the match Newton Abbot provided some excellent refreshments.
To thank Louise Angie Andrews from D and E produced the following entertaining poem.
It was a fitting end to a very enjoyable and successful first racketball cup final.

Writing fun sonnets is what I like to Do,

But Newton Abbot serve up the best Catches.
When we arrive you appear with a big cheery Smile,
Menu in hand, ready to go the extra Mile.

Wholesome & tasty it arrives piping Hot,
Its always a challenge to devour the Lot.
In the kitchen you are a true Master,
