The highlights saw Peter Harverson up and down like a yoyo as his haul was immense this year, winning the Junior Singles, the Bob Partridge trophy, the Handicap Singles event as well as the Team Knockout Cup \u2013 plus a runner-up award in the Singles Plate event, and Arron Chandler winning two of the prestigious events in the Mixed Open Singles and the Hardbat Singles.&nbsp; The league presented the most improved junior award to Luca Riedling of Maldon TTC with a vastly increased set of averages over the season.&nbsp; A special Recognition Award was presented to Maldon\u2019s Shirley Carroll for an incredible 50 years of competing in and winning the Ladies Doubles event \u2013 this year saw her 17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;victory in that one event, exactly 50 years after she first triumphed back in 1976.&nbsp; There were some emotional moments too \u2013 especially when Wendy Richardson was able to present the Restricted Singles Cup named after her son Daniel to this year\u2019s winner Hamish Innes.&nbsp; The final award of the evening was the President\u2019s Cup which is awarded to someone who has provided great service to the league over many years, and this year we had a most worthy recipient in Dawn Baldry the current Social Secretary and Welfare Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>___________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eamonn Hall, Press Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Burnham &amp;
