Tuesday 3rd November 2026
It is unusual to be able to report six wins on consecutive weeks. Today we can. Incredible that the same player achieved this. Congratulations to Vic Hart, who followed up his six-win tally against the Railway Club with a further impressive Barry Park for the Conservatives and Neil Maynard for Comrades [A] scored best with a twenty-four each. Next Tuesday sees the first week of the Singles knock-out cup. Comrades Club have once again agreed to host it; our thanks to them and to Peter Nedham, who will set up the Hall. The first night is always hectic as we will be playing two rounds, reducing the fifty-nine entrants to 16. Please turn up early; we intend to start no later than 7-45. The draw to see who plays against whom has been made by the League President, Roger Brown. We understand circumstances change, and adjustments will need to be made on the night. If you now find yourself unable to play on any of the three dates, please withdraw now. Good luck to you all.

About Our League
George Constable of Comrades formed the league at a meeting with representatives from six local social clubs on Wednesday 6th July 1983.
Eleven different teams began playing in the first competition two months later on Tuesday 6th September. From these initial teams, only the Comrades are still playing. However, a further seven teams have subsequently joined, most importantly now giving us a workable, vibrant league.
From 1989, we regularly participated in a competition with the Colchester League until, regrettably, they disbanded in 2004.
The History of Cribbage
In the early 1600s, Sir John Suckling, an English courtier, poet, gamester and gambler, invented cribbage, which he derived from the earlier game of Noddy.
Originally, a five-card game was played where each player discarded only one card to the crib. Nowadays, the six-card game is more popular, with each player discarding two cards to the crib.
Cribbage is very popular in the United States of America and Canada, with many cribbage leagues and clubs in existence; in England, it is the only game that can legally be played in a public house for money.
