YMCA Falcons won their last four matches to steal the Worcester League Division Two title.

Jograkeroge had 44 points in the bag but Falcons held their nerve against Hartlebury Wanderers, Himbleton C' twice and Broadheath Belters.

Playing at Himbleton C', Falcon's man-of-the-match Dave Elliott took the scalp of Adam Throssell for the second time this season in a five-set thriller.

Elliott then went on to beat Malcolm Parker and Pete Rogers convincingly.

Throssell won his other two singles matches and, with Pete Rogers, beat Elliott and John Cawthra in the doubles.

However, with Falcon's Pete Stevens winning two matches and Cawthra beating Malcolm Parker, Falcons took three of the four points on offer.

Playing at home against rejuvenated Hartlebury Wanderers, the return of John Stalker made all the difference.

Stalker won all three singles and, playing with Elliott, won the doubles against Simon Webb and Linda Davies.

In their penultimate match, YMCA were at home to Himbleton C' and Throssell finally got his revenge over Elliott.

The turning point was the doubles where Stalker and Elliott were 10-8 down in the fifth against Throssell and Parker but scraped home 12-10.

With Stalker, Elliott and Cawthra all winning two single matches each, Falcons won 7-3 in a competitive evening.

In the last match of the season, Falcons turned out their strongest team to overcome two previous defeats by Broadheath Belters and it paid off.

With the match standing at 5-3, Falcons number one Stalker fittingly beat Brett Brinning 11-4 in the fifth, giving Falcons the Division Two title.

Previously, Elliott had won two singles matches and Stevens put the icing on the cake, beating Belters' Ken Hipwell 11-9 in the fifth set.

Despite winning their local derby 9-1, Himbleton A' finished bottom of the league.

But they can take consolation from beating Falcons earlier in the season and showing how competitive a league it has been.
