League Results & Tables Check For Sale/Wanted section for secondhand equipment The 2019/20 Season started off well for the reigning league champions Old Barn with a 5nil win at Arun to set the pace. Rustington also had a good start (last years runners up) and they won their first two matches, and when Rustington beat Arun 60-53 for a 3-2 win. Then Tarring who have previously won the league wanted to retain the league with a different policy of playing all their home games first hoping to give them an edge over their competitors with a 4-1 win over Foxwood ( who were promoted this year and were tipped for the title. and then with a win (62-52) 4-1 win over Old Barn and then to beat Arun 5nil to now top the league to put them in a good position. In the next 2 matches Old Barn lost at home for the first time in 2 years to Foxwood who won 62-45 . to go 2nd in the league with Old Barn in 4th Rustington moved into 3rd with a narrow win over Foxwood 55-53 after Old Barns defeat at the hands of Foxwood, bounced back with an away win at Sussex Saints 0-5 . Tarring still led the way with a win over Rustington 5nil to win their last 4 at home matchers and lost none. Foxwood were 2nd with Old Barn now in 3rd with a home win over Rustington 69-48 .( 4-1) Rustington 4th after a good start now trailing in 4th place. Now as we go in to the 2nd half of the season saw one of the biggest shocks of the season bottom club Sussex Saints winning at unbeaten Tarring with a slim margin win of 64-62 (1-4) win . Tarring then lost the next 3 matches away from home then went to Foxwood for a top of league clash which should have been a close thing but Foxwood were in fine form and won the match (67-32) to go top .with Old Barn in third moving into contention with a home win over Rustington and then went away to Foxwood thinking can we get revenge for them beating us at home. as so it was revenge was sweet as Old Barn came away with a 4-1 win . possibly ending Foxwoods chance of winning the league just as the Coronavirus Virus hit Britain Tarring won their last away match 5nil to go back to the top of the league with 31.5 points Foxwood now dropped to second also on 31.5 which now meant Old Barn in 3rd needed 3 points in their last match at home to Arun to win the league, As it was Arun phoned to cancel the match and to give Old Barn the 5 points .which they leap frogged over Foxwood and Tarring to win the league on 34.5 points to win league for the 3rd year running. In the second division Durrington won there 1st 3 matches to set the pace . East Preston who were relegated won their 1st 3 matches to keep in contention with Durrington with all the other teams in the league were beating each other. East Preston beat Durrington home and away to go top and they stayed there to win the league with Durrington 2nd ,Durrington finished runners up. Next Season (when the Virus clears up ) hopefully we should start round about September or October. East Preston have now pulled out of the league as the venue has put their rent up and it has been decided by the management committee to just have one league of 10 teams as of this news Rustington have also pulled out of the league as they would not be able to for fill league matches as well as the amount of friendlies that they play Until we know more keep your distance and stay safe.
