Hi members one and all, hope you are well. It's like Siberia out there today, I can't say I'm looking forward to the coaching duties today, seems more like the middle of January than late April. The football seems to be pretty well done and dusted now with Spurs slipping up against West Brom, I have a sneaky feeling that Man Utd might well halt Leicester's surge on Sunday, and so there might be a sting in the tail. Wow I wish I'd put some cash on the foxes for the title, just don't understand how I didn't see it coming!
The mighty Reds will be descending on Wembley, heaven help the locals! for the F.A. Cup final, where they will play Palace, a reply of the 1990 final.
On the results front a Stableford qualifier was held on the 23rd April, that's St Georges day for those who don't know, which was played in very challenging conditions. The winners were;
Div 1
1st R. Ladd with 38 points, Richard has re-joined the club after a spell of living in Scotland, and has been playing very well since his return. I have a feeling were going to see a very big drop in his handicap this year.
2nd was S. Thomas with 35 points.
Div 2
1st C. Bonner with 34 points, winning on count back from Tony Miller. I told Chris he looks like Dustin Johnson from a distance, seems I did his confidence no harm at all.
Div 3
1st M. Vaughan with 37 points, with R. Coppock 2nd on 36 points.
Well done to all the winners.
