It was the Aughton Seniors League Finals day on Friday 22nd Sept 2023. In the singles our only representative, Mal Lea, lost a close semi final to Craig Puncheon (Aughton Inst.) 21-18 .

In the pairs Mal again played with 3 pairs representing OBC. The quarter finals brought together Mal & Roy Lea v Peter Grimes & Marg Copeland the latter winning 21-17. Dave Hulse & Nick Slater beat S Ball & A Owen (Mere Brow) 21-11 in another. Unfortunately the draw was not kind and Dave & Nick and Peter & Marg played each other in the semi finals with Dave & Nick coming out on top.

Dave Ball & John Makin Coronation Park awaited in the final. At halfway the match was extremely tight with the score being 11 across. It was definitely a game of two halves though as Dave & Nick revved up and produced a turbo charged performance to draw away and win 21-11 and were confirmed as the Seniors Pairs winners for 2023. This comes on top of other really good results for the club in both the League and Cup competitions. What a season!!
