12:19pm Thu 24th Jul 08:: written by Advertiser Sport


Maidenhead Town's Melodie Watts  produced some eye-catching form to become the Berkshire Champion of Champions.

In the semi-final at Wokingham she played Carol Robbins of Hagbourne winning by eight shots (21-13).

In the final Watts played Wendy Smart from Prospect Park and after a fairly even start,  took control of the match winning 21-9.

Watts now goes on to Leamington to represent Berkshire and will meet the Surrey champion on Thursday, July 31.

Maidenhead Town also had a triple in the county semi-finals at Wokingham and were represented by Joan Horner, Christine Wright and Sue Allaway.

On a tricky rink Town started slowly against Maiden Erlegh and were 8-3 down after eight ends.

After this Town found their length and scored three consecutive twos to go 9-8 ahead.

It was then Maiden Erlegh’s turn to go ahead and at 15 ends the score was level at 11-11.

The decisive end turned out to be the 16th when Town conceded four shots to make the score 15-11 down.

The last two ends were very tight with Maiden Erlegh collecting two single points making the final score 17-11 to Maiden Erlegh.
