On Saturday 17th October, Lea Valley
District Cubs took part in their annual Conker Championship at the
Caddington Scout HQ.
Starting at
10am with the first rounds, 22 games were played and the winners of
those games were put forward for the second round.
Playing in the second rounds were: Ben &
Lucas from Caddington; Charlie, Destiny, Skye & Rhys from Leagrave and
David, Luke & Malachy from Lea. Winning their games, Ben, Charlie, Skye,
Rhys and Luke went through to the Quarter Finals.
The first battle of the quarter finals
was between Ben & Charlie. Ben scored 8 hits to Charlie's 6. The second
battle was between Skye & Rhys. Rhys scored 5 hits, Skye scored 4 hits.
Skye did really well considering that she had only just come up from
Beavers and will be a Cub to look out for on the conker championship
scoreboard in future years! The final game of the quarter finals was
between Luke & Malachy. Luke scored an impressive 6 hits, but was no
match for a perfect 9 hit score from Malachy.
The Semi Finals featured Ben, Rhys,
Malachy & Charlie. The first battle was between Rhys & Ben, which was
won by Ben with a score of 6 hits against Rhys' 3 hits. Next up were
Malachy & Charlie, Charlie was one hit short of a perfect score with 8
against Malachy's hit score of 6.
Rhys & Malachy played for 3rd place,
with Malachy once again getting a perfect 9 hit score.
The final was a battle between Ben from
Caddington and Charlie from Leagrave. In the first match, Ben scored 2
hits and Charlie scored 3 hits. In the second match both scored 2 hits.
During the third match Charlie didn't manage to score a hit against Ben,
whilst Ben scored 2 hits. In the fourth match Ben scored a perfect 3 hit
score and Charlie scored 1 hit. In the final match, Charlie scored a
perfect 3 hit score and Ben scored 2 hits. In a close final, with only 1
hit in it, Ben scored 10 hits and Charlie 9 hits.
We must of
course make a special mention about Charlie from Leagrave, who came 2nd
in last years and 2nd in this years Championship. Charlie is the first
Cub to maintain his position over two years. As Charlie will be heading
to Scouts in the next few months, this was his last Conker Championship.
Congratulations to Ben from Caddington
Cubs for winning the Conker Championship 2009. Caddington Cub Pack
become the proud guardians of the District Cub Totem Pole until the next
District Cub Competition.
