Right I am not sure where to begin and if I can fit everything in that happened but here goes:-

The first issue was that Mrs Stoner turned up (well that wasn't a problem) except that she bought Mr Kevin 'not so silent' Stoner with her ::) He had already been knocking back the pints earlier in the day at the Branch so trouble was on the cards

Game 1, Toni played a great game until her penultimate shot when already well clear she decided to go for a ball down the middle wobbling the black peg.....rather than an attempt off the cushion!!?? The peg wobbled but didn't go down, Bob had already knocked it over earlier so 1-0 to us

Game 2, DJ had trouble right from the beginning with the balls not dropping for him :o Ross had a nice break going but tried to be greedy and ended up with an awkward ball by the peg and knocked it over next shot ::) He got them back and did enough for 2-0

Game 3, never seen so many break shots missed in this one, Pete must have missed the red ball 10 times :o ::), but he played very well at the end of the table to give us an assailable 3-0 lead :)

Game 4, my cue had already been soaked by beer after DJ's pint exploded.....tactics ::) Anyway I used Ross's and got a few after my opponent had gone off with 60 :'( :( Halfway through the barmaid got in the way.....tactics ::)  and then Kev 'not so silent' Stoner started behaving like a football hooligan and shouting abuse, but I put him right but telling him that all the s..t (in the dressing room) in the world was not enough to beat Palace and his s..t would not beat me either ;D 4-0

Game 5, the raucousness (is that a word)?? was reaching a crescendo, as the bloke on the mike doing the quiz was very loud, Gary and Bob were abusing me and Kev 'not so silent' Stoner was completely gone ;), which left me "Silent" in the corner ::) ;) :-X Oh and in the game Rose was very nice and didn't want the Mont to lose 5-0 so gave Moppy a chance 8-)

Dover and Mrs Stoner did the quiz but came last :'(

A terrific win for us, completing a whitewash over the Mont this year (we even let them have even breaks tonight ;)) Plenty of very loud and abusive banter, raucous doesn't do it justice, but as always a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to the guys from the Montreal for a great night
