The Baddow Village A Team of 
Waseem Qureshi, Alastair Piper and Adrian Pitt
had to settle for runners-up spot when they took on 
ECC in the Final of the 2Down KO Cup.
Although they had been runaway winners of Division 2,
when it came to the cup final they couldn't repeat their league form going down 5:2 for a surprise defeat

Melanie Bonnett in the 6Down KO Cup.
In a match featuring the two oldest players in the League, John Macfarlane of OC's and our own Freddie, the outcome was totally uncertain right to the end. It was that close! A blistering match played in the best possible spirit was only determined with the final doubles when Ron & Fred just lost out 21:17 in the third to give the title to OC's.

with their runners-up award in the Final of the Handicap KO Cup.
This match was just like "the one that got away". For it seemed no matter what Mark and Richard did they just couldn't win! Gareth made the most of his slightly generous handicap to take his three singles in style, but Mark went down 22:20 in the third to Mohammed Mohseni and then 23:21 in the third to Jeff Lewington, before a 21:8 in the third defeat to Alan Thompson. And it wasn't much better for Richard. After a bad start he lost out 23:21, 22:20 to Mohammed to give the ECC E team the match 5:3. It was real nail-biting stuff and excellent entertainment for the small crowd of spectators.
