p.s.  Fees from competition entries amounted to £197 and although it was down on last season it is still a very good turnout for comps – well done.

p.p.s.  Don’t forget to indulge in the rolls as along with comp fees is our only means of income.

p.p.p.s.  The handicaps are playing a big part this season as ‘A’ section sides have picked up 37 pts so far while ‘B’ section sides have amassed  53.
