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.

BEST FOOD EVER !

Writing fun sonnets is what I like to Do,

Louise I wrote this one just for You.

We travel to many clubs to play our Racketball Matches,

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.

Meat, fish or a veggi Dish,

Always willing to knock up what ever we Wish.

Nothing for you is ever to much Trouble,

Your portion sizes are always Double.

Wholesome & tasty it arrives piping Hot,

Its always a challenge to devour the Lot.

In the kitchen you are a true Master,

I know no one else who churns out top food Faster.

So putting all these points Together,

Louise, Your top of the Devon league,

for the BEST FOOD EVER!!
