21-Apr: Sedgwick 0-1 Barclay
Finally, the Championship was resolved without a play-off, Laurence Ball's precarious seat in the 'Club House' finally seeming as firm as rock as Barclay denied Sedgwick not only the point he now needed to unseat Ball, but also the half he needed to force a play-off.
David Sedgwick commented: "Simple really. Paul played well. I didn't.
"Many congratulations to Laurence Ball on a precarious but ultimately successful defence of his Championship title. Next year he'll be bidding to become only the fifth person to win the Championship three times in a row. This feat has previously been performed by Len Durham (1925, 1926, 1927), Walter Veitch (1949, 1950, 1951, and 1955, 1956, 1957), David Sedgwick (1992, 1993, 1994 and 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) and Tony Paish (1998, 1999, 2000).
"As for me, I shall be back. 2010-11 will be my 30th consecutive Championship. Back in 1981-82, I was persuaded to enter for that season only. I won and felt bound to defend. The rest, as they say, is history."
15-Apr: Barclay 0-1 Ball; Calvert ½-½ Sedgwick
Results that take Calvert and Barclay out of the previous equation. Ball is 'Leader in the Club House' and only Sedgwick can now unseat him, possibly via a play-off. The last game, Sedgwick-Barclay is arranged for 20th April.
30-Mar: All players can still win! Sedgwick 2½/4; Ball, Calvert 2½/5; Barclay 1½/4.
Sedgwick wins if he scores 1½/2, or he can win with two draws if Ball fails to beat Barclay.
Either Calvert or Ball can win if Sedgwick fails to score more than ½/2.
Barclay can win if he beats both Ball and Sedgwick and Sedgwick fails to beat Calvert.
There are multiple permutations for two or three player play-offs and one to take the event into a full third cycle: a four-way play-off.
