Cheltenham Easter Handicap
Good Friday by Sarah Hayes
Sunny, bright and quite chilly - block play was completed with last game finishing around 7.15pm so not too bad but it was really cold by then.
David Magee kindly played for the day after a late drop out due to illness left the Manager with an odd number of players. Many thanks to David.
The four blocks were topped by players who all won all three of their mayches - Nick Evans (3 wins +15); Robert Wilkinson (3 wins +16); Wendy Wu (3 wins +5) and the best of all Robin Smith (£ wins +38) so the semi-finalists for the knock out were easy to find!
Tomorrow will see 2 rounds of play with the semis followed by a Final and 3rd/4th playoff. The remainder of the field will be playing mini KO's too - with all the 2nd placers playing in one group and so on.
Order of play for Tomorrow:
