Super slow opening day just 15 selections with 3 winners Frank Tubman & Pat Quinn both 3-1 and Richard Pascoe 9-4.
We are on 49 players with two who have said they are playing but are yet to pay - Chris Martin & Tom Lloyd Jones so could be 51.
Still space for others and really good to see a few guys returning who first played long ago, Terry Matthews #129, Tom Elliston #150, John Heneghan #143, Pat Quinn #97 and Ian Walters #68. Ian last played in comp #32 in December 2012 - welcome back to the fold, where have you all been?
