We will start this competition on 2nd  of  November at 7-30 prompt and we should be able to play 6 games that will get us down to the semi-final.  The times shown are approximate and everyone should get themselves here in good time.  ‘B’ section sides will get 2 dolls per leg when playing ‘A’ section sides.  Please pay attention to the time you are on as it may not be in draw order, this is to avoid a team playing 2 games before others have played one.  This draw was made by B.Clapton & R.Holmes (wont be asking them again).  Good luck to all.
