It was kind of a shame Devon was forced out of the competition, even though I've been on the recieving end of many Devon victories I'd have still give them my support for such a great achievement of a 'proper' minor county making it to the final. Forced Out ? They chose to be the only team not to p...

On the subject of final weekend 4NCL I will be there to bumble around, mess things up and generally arrange fixed matches as part of a Far East betting coup whilst drinking in the Triumph Bar ...and am probably available to play should anyone be short and need to avoid defaults ...

Even to the point in a rapidplay a few years ago when I was Queen for minor piece up in a somewhat blockaded position and my opponent clearly ...

Thanks Alex - and also Peter Kemp

Any spare twins I will be grateful to take for Sunningdale and either Barcelo - any captains/players similarly up the ...
