However, before I begin I must offer a retraction of previous scurrilous comments about the Meteorologist Peter Baird.
I apologise for comparing his comments of "it's never going to rain" to the inept forecasting of Michael Fish back in the 1980's, something which I believe has hurt him deeply.
So onwards for the weather report for Saturday the 27th June for the full field that took part,,,, it was a very fine winters day peaking at ~21degs after a dewy morning, something that many an English summer would be proud!
The controversy began early as Graeme 'cried off' at the last minute, leaving me partner-less and expecting a 'bye' and therefore an easy 2 points.
However the RulesMeister and Referee had different ideas.
Eventually it was decided that I was to play Bruce, after he was passed around and rejected by firstly Gim then Travis.
As predicted by both Bruce & myself we were in for an epic round, which was to be decided on the 18th where the deadlock was ended with a beautiful 'chip-in' by Bruce!
Top shot sir!!!!
The sledges and fight talking were rife throughout the morning group as they waited to commence the battle.
It was even overheard that Lynne tried to bribe Gordon for a 10&8 victory to guarantee her progression into the quarter finals.
Apparently bribery and corruption does work!! hehehehe
And then there was the pent up anger from Vickie.
