Club Champs Day Two

A fairly quiet night, as the first rounds of the main events concluded, some racketball matches and the quarters of the 'A' event.

Glenn Ward progressed smoothly enough to the semis with a straight-games win over Steve Robertson, and he will meet Peter 'ferret' Farhger. Maurice Cliff got his practice against a runner last night, but in truth Peter is a runner extraordinaire, and although our Moz had leads in two of the games, and accumulated seven points in all three of them, the crowd and both players knew there was only one winner ...

Defending champion Paul Millington meets the winner of tomorrow's match between Russell Hunter and John Thompson in the other semi.

The glory may be in the 'A' event, but all eyes are looking to Friday's doubles, where 13 pairs will go all out for the ultimate prize. Group A features five mixed pairs intent on having fun, while Groups B & C are composed of the macho men, all likely to be eclipsed by the Sam & Lucy all-star team.

Wednesday's action starts at 6pm, and if we can get enough people hanging around in their sweaty kit we'll have a lightning tournament or three ....
