We've got an exciting couple of matches under way - U21 world champion Joshua Freeth is game-all against worlds medallist Hamish McIntosh, and Omar Fahmy is in all sorts of trouble in the final game against Rachel Rowe. It's 6-4 now.

Anne Quinn kept herself into contention with a straight-games win over Josh Freeth earlier, and block C is still very wide open.

On lawn 2 we have a big British Opens rematch.. John-Paul Moberly vs Reg Bamford.

Reg risked a bit of strife for not leaping up to play immediately, but is appears to be related to the face JP was about to sit down with a couple of bread rolls. They final got away as Hemi and I headed off for a bit of mini golf.

Mini golf - par 72 !!! Hemi destroyed me.

Rachel now has a 3 yarder for the match.. bounces off, but she's all over the hoop still.

Ok, so Reg v JP. No idea the score in the first game - there is no way to see the scoreboards - but JP took the first!!!

Reg is going pretty well in the second (3-0?)

We've been back for at least 10 minutes and Josh is only just returning to lawn 3 where Hamish is juggling balls patiently.

Huge applause as JP clears red and appears to have got into the jaws of hoop 4. Apparently he's not nervous playing bigshots, and appears to be loving it at the moment.

More applause - not sure who the large crowd of young lads are, but they were pretty impressed to see JPs shot, then Reg cleared black from the jaws of 4 from corner 4. Reg now has red and yellow tightly on either side of hoop 4. Must admit i fancy the 10 yard hoop shot. Do did JP... alas it's a miss.

Thanks for the emails also folks - it's good to know people are enjoying following a bit of what is going on here.

And Rachel has just run hoop 11 to win the match against Omar. That sees her onto 5 wins with one round to go. Mahdi and I are through, Rachel on 5, and Chris, Omar, Terry and Hemi on 4.

Sorry - time to go - might be back later - Omar is keen to get out of here. He jumped over an easy clearance, so I suspect he's very keen to be off. Reg about to be 4-0
