When lunch eventually came (the delay being entirely the fault of the players rather than Martin, who kindly catered for us), Nottingham had crept to a 3-0 lead, though rather unconvincingly.  Ian had a quick win in the afternoon to take the pressure off and we finally ended 6-1 ahead.  Our next opponents are Edgbaston.

On a glorious spring afternoon, Ian Burridge won the John Hansen trophy for the one-ball competition, with 5 wins out of 6.  James Death was runner up with the same score, but lost out on the who beat whom principle.  Ian Draper was third with 4 wins out of 6.  Thanks to Peter Death for managing the event.
