Firm hoops, bouncy balls and bouncy lawns rewarded phlegmatic concentration. Chris Clarke takes the view that he is always unlucky. No longer since he won a crucial round-12 tie against Burrow: during his finishing turn he missed a 4-yarder after making hoop 5 and having loaded 1-back. However, his Red carried on and hit Yellow waiting by hoop 6!

Mulliner finished day 3 with a 4th turn quadruple against Maugham - a missed cut after 2-back in turn 2 created the opportunity!

On the final day an 8-way tie was still possible but after lunch there was a tie on 8 wins between Colin Irwin and Chris Clarke. This led to a best of three play-off which Chris won +17 +16. Good value for the small but appreciative crowd of locals.

I can say that there were some very interesting games which helped our chaps to get in good nick for Florida.
