Report by John Bevington

I arrived just after the teams had had lunch to hear that we were 3-0 up, and David had had a good win, so had every confidence that the team were well on their way.

The afternoon games seemed to be going well, but then the bisques ran out for some and we seemed to have lost the initiative. A pity I couldn’t stay for the final stages, as Ray and Cliff got it all back together and won their games to give us the win and the opportunity of playing Dyffryn or Cheltenham in the next round.
