Firsts @ David Lloyd (Wed Oct 23, '07)

To be struggling to get out just 2 teams this early in the season does not bode well for our chances of promotion or staying up for either team.

Peter Cockburn at #5, again showing the good clubman that he is, turning out on consecutive nights. I didn't see his match but his own synopsis was that he was too loose and gave away too many strokes to Paul Sherry, 0-3.

Stokesy at #4 beat Raymond Ross, coming from behind in 2 games as Raymond's deadly drops were cancelled out by giving away too many strokes. Alan went on to close it out 3-0. Christy at #3 ground out a 3-1 win against Alex Killick and Chris Mair also beat their #2 by the same score.

Mike Perring was the most lethargic I've ever seen him and Joseph Ghaemi took a good win. Considering he is rated 450 (out of 1000!) points lower, the teenager's ranking will get a nice boost from this anomaly.
Man of the Match: Raymond and Alan. Playing a match I thought would never happen, neither batted an eyelid when, out of the 20 permutations of opponents, the team order dictated they play each other and a competitive sporting match ensued.

We did well to scrape the bonus points out of this, overall it was 14-10 on the night incl qualified refs bonus.

The catering wing of David Lloyd needs a poker up the ass from Gordon Ramsay 'cos the baked potato filling dished up wouldn't have fed 10 gnats- if I was paying £70 a month as a DLL member plus a match fee, I'd be hacked off, no disrespect to the 5 players. We just had to drink more beer to make up for the lack of calories ;-)

Lloyds had better pull their socks up, or there will be an official complaint to the food police.

They do not take this sort of offence lightly.
