You then share the 27 points of the colours = 31 points between you which needs one to score just 16 to win.

Astles Pairs, JME Pairs, 3 player, 6 Reds and Redwood Hire Champions. Mark Newall (Royal London) in winning the Redwood Hire Champions Trophy in 2009-10 completed all the competitions available at that time, and now requires the 6 Reds Challenge and JME Pairs. Tony Crompton (1st) and Mike Roylance (2nd) prior to the introduction of the 6 Reds competition in 2010-1 and JME Pairs in 2011-2, were the only other players who have been in the final of each 'non league' competition. Mike now needs the JME, Rotary cup and 6 Reds Challenge to complete a ‘winners haul’. Tony Crompton became the first player to have competed in the final of every competition available to him – the Jay, Rotary, Bert Astles Pairs, JME Pairs, 3 Player, Team KO cup, Redwood Chapions & 6 Reds Challenge (excludes Young Player and Taylor Trophy due to age restrictions) when he played in the 2012-3 JME final. Player in the most non-team finals in a season: Mark Newall (then at Royal London) was the only player to be in all 5 of the non-team finals available at that time and in the same season – Jay, Rotary, Bert Astles Pairs, 3 player and Redwood Hire Champions. He won the Pairs and lost in the other finals in the 2008-9 season. Tony Crompton equaled the record in the 2012-3 season – see below. First player to win more than 2 competitions in 1 season – Tony Crompton in 2012-3 when he won 4. The 6 Reds, Redwood Hire Champions, Bert Astles Pairs and the JME Pairs. Bruce Tulley won 3 in the 2014-5 season in taking the Redwood Hire, Astles Pairs and Jay Trophy crowns. Tony repeated this total in the 2017-8 season in winning the Jay, Rotary, JME Pairs and the 3 Player competition. Mike Roylance (Mobberley) in the 2013-4 season reached the semi-finals (or later) of the 3 Player, Rotary, Bert Astles Pairs, JME Pairs and Jay. Longest period between league finals – this also falls on the lap of Tony Crompton who won the 1979-80 Team KO cup and then the 2017-8 3 Player, JME, Jay and Rotary competitions - a spread of 38 seasons. If individual competitions are the measure then Bruce Tulley takes that honour with his win in the 1984-5 Rotary through to the 2016-7 Rotary Cup competition win – an incredible gap of 33 seasons. Matches to have 3 ‘ton plus’ scores in 2007-8 Mobberley A – Neil Marshall 120 & Colin Hamer 111 and Wilmslow Cons A – Dave Slater 108. 2008-9 Morley A – Steve Thompson & Henry Chay 104 Paul Makinson 107; and 2012-3 Mobberley A – Steve Bond 104, Mark Newall 107 & Tony Crompton 108 are the only 2 TEAMS to have had 3 ‘ton plus’ scores in a match. The interesting fact in the latter match is that Steve Bond had no cue (his own was away being repaired) and so had to use Mark Newall’s – effectively meaning that the same CUE had 2 tons in the same match! OTHER RECORDS First team to do the Division 1 and Team KO cup double was Liberal A in the 1954-5 season. First lady to play in the league - Margaret Cash (Liberal B) 1953-6 First to win Jay Trophy twice: Bill Wilkinson (Knutsford Liberal) 1959-60 and 1961-62 First to win (and to retain) Jay Trophy 3 times: Peter Tittle (Knutsford Cons) 1962-5 First to win (and to retain) Jay Trophy 4 times: David Wright (Mere) 1976-80 The highest ‘nilling’ in league history. In the 1976-7 season, David Wright had breaks of 91 and 38 against his C team club mate Peter Stenson in a 129-28 win. Peter had a 55 point score (David was on -27 & Peter on +28) but this was made up totally of his handicap. First (and only) to win Jay Trophy more than 4 times: Bruce Tulley (Mobberley) with 9 wins First to win Rotary twice: Derek Parmenter (Mobberley) 54-55 and 56-57 First to retain Rotary: Barry Lineham (Mobberley) 74-76 First to win Rotary 3 times: Bruce Tulley (Mobberley) 84-85, 85-86 and 2001-2 First player to win twice (and also to retain) the Redwood Hire Champions Trophy - John Thompson (Morley) 2003-4 & 2004-5 First team to retain the 3 Player title: 2016-8 Tony Crompton, Bruce Tulley & Mike Gittins First player to score over 100 points in 3 consecutive league matches: Steve Roberts (Brook Street) with 105, 115 and 106 in 2004-5 First player to score over 100 points in 3 consecutive league games: John Higgins (Wilmslow Cons) with 101 in the Jay – a frame he lost! – then 108 and 101 in the league in 2012-3 Youngest ever player in league: Pip Dunkerley (Mere) who played in the league from 1981-2 season aged just 11 years of age. This was outside of the league rules due to the fact that Pip’s dad, Bill, was licensee of the Mere club at the time Only winner and wins aggregate: Tony Crompton 116-7 (Mobberley 1984-5); Ant Jackson 98-11 (Mere 2005-6); Dave Rainford 75-22 (Shaw Heath 2009-10); Pete Hodge 66-28 (Royal London B 2009-10); Chris Parker 86-27 (Knutsford Cons A 2012-3); Arthur Hasford 125-40 (Mere C 2021-2); Oldest ever finalist – 76 year old Bill Edwards from Knutsford Cons club lost the 1953-4 Rotary Cup final to Les Taylor of Mobberley 3 frames to 2 Oldest ever competition winner (not age restricted) – 78 year old Arthur Hasford (Mere) who won the 2017-8 Six Reds Challenge. |
Youngest ever winner of a league prize is Josh Street (Mobberley) who at the ripe young age of 15 years was a member of the Team KO Cup winning D team in the 2008-9 season.
Youngest ever winner of a league competition is 15 year old Jack Bushell who won the 6 Reds comp in 2014-5 and also .... Youngest ever age total in a league final was when 15 year old Jack Bushell beat 24 year old Jake O’Neill in the 2014-5 6 Reds competition. Player with the most 100+ scores in a 28 game season: Bruce Tulley (7) 1995-6; Most 400+ team scores in one season: Was held by Mobberley A 2007-8 with 10 in a 28 game season but this is beaten ‘pro-rata’ by Mobberley A 2012-3 season with 10 in a 24 game season (ie 1 every 2.4 games) and Mobberley A again in 2015-6 with an incredible 13 in a 24 game season (54.2%). Most whitewashes (7-0) scores in one season: Mobberley A had 12 in a 24 match season in 2015-6. Highest points total / average per game for a season (28 game season or pro-rata): Mobberley A totalled 168 points in the 2017-8 season at an unbelievable average of points per match (excluding Team KO and Presidents cup games). Longest unbeaten run of frames by a team: Mobberley A had 35 unbeaten frames amongst the team before losing the last frame of their match against their own C team (24.3.14) in the 2013-4 season. Longest unbeaten run of matches by a team: Mobberley A lost their first match in the 2011-2 season and didn’t lose until 76 matches later on the 9.10.14. Over 3 years. However this record was then beaten by Mobberley A when (after defeat by Brook Street A on the 5.3.15) they went on an even longer winning streak that totals 89 games as of the end of the 2017-8 season. First player to do the Jay Trophy and Rotary Cup double, double: Colin Hamer (Knutsford Bowling) 2006-7 and (Mobberley) 2007-8 Shortest title reign – Morley A won the re-run (the previous ‘winners’ were found to have cheated) of the 2007-8 Team KO final on the 22nd of October 2008 and lost in the 1st round of the ‘proper’ 2008-9 competition on the 9th of December 2008. A reign of just 48 days. Players winning the most league titles: Bruce Tulley, and Tony Crompton have won 17 titles each for Mobberley. Jeff Gorton has won 13 titles (9 at Shaw Heath, 1 at Knutsford Bowling and 3 at Mobberley); Dave Rainford also won the 9 consecutive Shaw Heath titles plus 2 further at the same club = 11. On the 27th of September 2011 Mere A’s Geoff, Richard and Matthew Owen became the first known 3 generational part team (granddad, son and grandson) in their match against their Mere C club mates. An unusual record was set in the first round of the Jay Trophy 2012-3 when Mobberley’s Tony Crompton beat Wilmslow Cons A’s John Higgins on the final black in the third frame to win 105-101. This is the first time two players in the same frame have scored a ton and easily beats the previous best frame total in league history of 166 points by a clear 40 points. Oldest total age in a league game between 2 players was 160 years when 84 year old Jim Sinclair of Wilmslow Cons C played 76 years old Geoff Owen of Mere A on the 25.9.13 One club fills the semis: In 2002-3 Mobberley filled all 4 semi-final places in the Jay Trophy, the first time ever in a league comp by one club. The players were Bruce Tulley, Tony Crompton, Mike Roylance and Mike Gittins. This feat was repeated in the 2014-5 season, again by Mobberley in the same competition, when the same first 3 players plus Mark Newall completed the line-up. Longest frame The record for this was held for the Chris Parker (Brook Street B) versus Mike Sullivan (Wilmslow Cons A) frame at the end of the 2015-6 season which lasted 76 minutes. However, Chris surpassed this terrible feat when he took 88 minutes to beat Alan Williams on the 14.3.17. Longest match On the 21st of November 2017 Brook Street B took an incredible 3 hours 15 minutes to complete their home defeat to Mobberley D. At an average of an hour and 5 minutes per frame. When you look at the longest frame records and matches, you can only wonder why snooker is dying. |
