Crawley won this season’s County Super League Championship in an exciting playoff at the Roffey Social Club, defeating the East Division winners Lewes by 5-2.
The Crawley side had previously won their Division by just one point from Roffey and they have now succeeded in bringing back the “King and Barnes” Cup to West Sussex for the first time in four years, since Littlehampton Tower were Champions in 2004.
Reg Harding started the ball rolling for Lewes with a 3-0 win over Phil Smith which included a maximum. Steve Mecrow levelled the score beating Dave Harding 3-0, and this proved to be the start of a winning run for the Crawley side.
Tony Ayres took the man-of-the-match award with a 29.73 winning average against Ricky Blay, Colin Whiley defeated County star Keith Price 3-1 and Martin Burchell beat Gavin Redshaw 3-1 to give Crawley a 4-1 lead.
Lewes fought back with Reg Harding Jnr. beating Andy Gurr
by 3-0, but a dazzling display from Kevin Fishwick, which included a maximum and a 108 checkout, to win 3-1 against Dennis Sains, secured the 5-2 victory and the title for Crawley
