Despite a heavy defeat to Runners Up Basement Dwellers – Stogumber A secured third place in League Division One.  Only a fine five set win for Marcus Short over Mike Vickery denied Dwellers a maximum 36 points.  Vince Court and Paul Rees brought their seasons to a close with fine maximums.

Stogumber completed their season with a 28-16 away win at a depleted Shooting Stars.  Martyn Summerell was forced to 5 sets by both Geoff Williams and Martin Shoots.  Marcus Short also defeated both of the home players.

Marcin Szram recorded a comfortable maximum for Gnomads as their storming finish to the season was completed with a 35-8 victory over Minehead A.  Nigel Foster also notched a maximum for Gnomads.  Don Davis was Minehead’s only singles winner as he beat Martin Rant over 5 sets.  

Roys Boys recorded their first victory of the season in their final fixture.  The win was largely thanks to a Barry Hooper maximum, six singles points for Roy Hooper and a first singles win of the season, in straight sets, for Bob Preston. 

Shooting Stars are the 2016/17 Handicap Cup Champions.  In a thrilling finish Mark Scyner gained 4 points against Ellie Baker to secure a narrow 12 point victory over House Martyns.  Thanks to overall gains of 26 and 5 points for Scyner and Martin Shoots Stars looked comfortable with 2 games to play.  However Jack Lancaster made a gain of 32 points against Geoff Williams in the penultimate game to narrow the gap to just 8 points, leaving Scyner to hold on in the final game.
