This season marked the 22nd year of the league, which saw 26 pairs competing in ten Better-Ball matches each.
The top eight results determined the standings, and Wayne and Angus, both relatively new to the Gorsley-based club, proved unbeatable.
The pair accumulated 16 points from eight wins and one halved match, achieving the maximum points total.
The runners-up spot was claimed by Stuart Mair and Paul Dobbs, who also amassed 15 points, tied with Phil Dicks and Mike Cheal.
Other notable prize-winners included Seniors Captain Paul Burry and Tim Harrison, as well as the defending champions Mike Mintram and Ken Potter, who made a strong effort to retain their title.
Looking ahead to the 2024/25 season, the league will introduce a new format, featuring six matches played between October 1st and December 31st, 2024.
This change aims to address the challenges faced during the January to March period.
