Report by Cliff Hayes
The games actually started and finished in that order so you can see it was a nail-
Tim's afternoon opponent was on fire and Tim never really got a look in. Geoff had a chance to win but missed an important roquet and it was left to the high bisquers to hold their nerve and ease us home, David almost completing and Cliff restricting his opponent to 6 points. The Ashby crowd were very hospitable, even to the extent of letting us play in the afternoon on the lawns we had become familiar with in the morning.
