Until we meet up again , stay safe .

Croft Nomads drew 3-3 with Spread Eagle with leg scores of 18-12, 13-13, 12-18, probably a fair result given both teams recorded 43 dolls. For The Coft S.Enock 10, L.Clapton 8, A.Bell 7, I.Brook and N.Weston 6 each. For The Spread D.Mott 8, M.Beachey and P.Soden 7 each.

To prove what a ‘funny old game’ this is he clanged off a 6 in the 3^rd leg.

The funeral of Frank Tracey will take place on Friday (17^th) at 2 p.m. at St. Edmonds Chucrh, which is at the junction of Oxford Road and Radley Road. I hope to be there and if anyone else could make it that would be nice. Parking spaces are limited so alternative parking is advised, perhaps on Audlett Drive
