DARTS: Robertsbridge Club got back on the winning trail with a narrow 6-5 win over The Runt Inn ‘B’ last week.

Gary/Kevin won their doubles game but Pete/Luke and Coral/Guy both lost which meant we needed to win one of the trebles games for victory. Luke/Kevin/Dan Povey won their match but Coral/Pete/Guy lost theirs to give us a 6-5 win. There were 100+ scores for Luke[140,123,2x100], Guy[138,100], Dan[101] and Coral[100]. Tonight is Ladies Singles Knockout.

FOOTBALL: The Bridge 2nd team are still looking for their first win after losing 4-1 at Wittersham in the Macron East Sussex Football League Division 5. The Bridge played well but chances went begging in the first period with the hosts going into the break 2-0 in front and it was 3-0 soon after the re-start but The Bridge did pull a goal back on 63 minutes when substitute Austin Galea netted. The lack of a goal scorer plagued The Bridge with chances not being put away and despite the efforts of man of the match Callum Beighton The Bridge failed to score again while the hosts secured all three points with another goal just before the final whistle. Tomorrow the 1st team are at home to Herstmonceux in the 2nd Round of the East Sussex Football League Premier Travel Chauffeurs Challenge Cup K.O. 1.30p.m. while the 2nd team are away to Battle Baptists II K.O. 2p.m.

Finally I must congratulate: all of the Robertsbridge Royal British Legion members, non-members, Poppy sellers and any one else that had a helping hand in the Poppy Appeal this year. Not only did the village succeed in raising the funds for a couple of Soldiers at the last hour, but in total with the soldiers and the poppy sales there village raised in excess of £10000.00 This certainly is a fantastic village to live in and I for one am proud to say I’m a local.
