Another fantastic dodgeball tournament at The Bridge tonight with the primary school year 3+4 teams gathering for glory. Wet weather consigned the event to the two court indoor venue of the athletics club. Greenway took a liking to the setting winning all four of its matches, including a 1-0 one over West Chiltington in the last one, to take the title.
The first phase saw the 12 teams split into four round-robin groups of three. Steyning B beat Kingslea 3-2 in the key game to take Group A. Greenway won two close encounters to top Group B and Southwater made short shrift of Group C. Two 3-1 wins for West Chiltington in Group D also saw them through to the top table of the Upper Tier.
West Chiltington won out narrowly over Southwater 3-2 in the semi-final whilst Greenway demolished Steyning B 6-0 to set up the closely contested final that Greenway emerged champions from.
Leechpool A put aside their disappointment of a narrow Phase 1 group loss to Greenway to storm the middle tier with two resounding 5-0 wins. In the Lower Tier final Ashurst, victors over Oakfields in their semi, was brought down to earth 5-0 by a Kingslea B side which found its mojo in the second phase.
