Simply the Best !!!!

Who is the best skittle Team in the Worcester Friendly League over the last decade (1990-2000).

Below I have separated the Monday & Wednesday divisions apart as it is difficult to compare the leagues directly . I have awarded winners of the First division 20 pts , 2nd place 10 pts . Then from 3rd to 7th place I have awarded 5pts - 1pt respectivley . Winners of the King Pin & Doris Styles recieved 10pts while the runners up were awarded 5pts . To be honest the results are not that surprising !!!!

Wednesday Night League

1st - Morganite - 171 pts

2nd - New Raiders - 148 pts

3rd - Rams - 107 pts

4th - Highwaymen - 83 pts

5th - Herefordshire House Bulls - 61 pts

6th - Outlaws - 40 pts

7th - Vics - 25 pts

8th - Superstars - 18 pts (no longer in existence)

9th - Tower All Stars - 15 pts

10th - Surfers - 14 pts

11th - Nemos - 13 pts (no longer in existence)

12th - Heathonians- 7 pts (no longer in existence)

13th - Rushwick CC - 6 pts

14th - (=) Freshmen & Punchbowlers - 5 pts each

15th - Windshields 'B' - 3 pts (no longer in existence)

16th - (=) Hi - flyers & Newcomers (no longer in existence) - 2 pts

No real surprises in this list . It is a shame that some of the teams in this list have folded . The Nemos , Windshields 'B' & Heathonians finished in the early ninties. While the Superstars & Newcomers only recently broke up . The Highwaymen have currently got 2 ex Superstars in their team ( Alan Tidder & Gary Hanson ) . We did have 3 but Tom Lucassi is no longer able to play for the Highwaymen .

The Morganite team in the mid 90s had a major shake up with several of their team leaving to join the New Raiders . This may of broken up a lesser team . But even since this has happened they have still manged to win the league & reach several Finals .The formation of the New Raiders also affected the Travellers team on the Monday Division , but to a lesser degree .


Monday Night League

1st - Travellers - 151 pts

2nd - Glovers Needle - 107 pts

3rd - Kingfishers - 91 pts

4th - Crown Regulars - 70 pts

5th - Rushwick CC - 43 pts

6th - Whistlers - 28 pts

7th - Cricketers - 21 pts

8th - Thunderbirds - 14 pts

9th - Hillbillies - 12 pts

10th - Legionaires - 9 pts

11th - MCL - 7 pts (no longer in existence)

12th - Signals - 6 pts

13th - Mayflower Saints- 5 pts

14th - Lumberjacks - 4 pts

15th - Runaways - 3 pts

16th - The Lads - 2 pts

17th (=) - Cardents - Transporters - Dirty Dozen - Rockwell Maudsley 1 pt

 

Again as in the Wednesday night league no real surprise with the Travellers having by far & away the best record over the last 10 years . Even so about 4 seasons ago they have lost a lot of their better players to teams like the New Raiders (Wednesday League) . Therefore this division has become far more open than the Wednesday Division . Over the last 2 seasons the league has been won by teams such as the Whistlers & the Cricketers who have come from no where to conquer the giants of this league (Glovers , Travellers , Kingfishers ) .
