Given the unavailability of key players throughout the season our performance was not unexpected.  Although more than half the participants played above their current grading the average grading fell from 1588 to 1550 a slightly disappointing statistic.

 

As has been the situation over recent years attendance of, and accessibility to, members makes promotion unlikely in the foreseeable future.

Difficulties with fixtures had caused problems as had the lack of some more experienced players and there was some discussion about whether or not to continue to participate in the division next year.

 

Juniors have done well this year with Daniel McAteer, Ulugbak   Abdurahmanov and Lisa Flaherty competing at national level.  Derek had coached Kilsyth BB to the national finals where they lost to the British Champions and Holy Cross primary to the Scottish Primary Team finals.

Not only did we not finish bottom of the first division (that dubious honour went to Stirling this year) but we managed to win silverware in the form of the Central Knockout cup.  When we are able to field our strongest team we are capable of defeating any of the other Central league opposition.

 

I propose that we withdraw from the Central allegro league. If we wish to retain an Allegro team I suggest we should enter the Glasgow rapid play league.
