The draw has been made and the games are as below:

Group A

Vikings   v   Donnington

1. I Moss   v   I Moquet *
2. *A Lacey   v   M Standbridge
3. M Jones   v   J Florey*
4. *A Oliver   v   D Tooke
5. I Moss/A Lacey   v   ??? *
6. *M Jones/A Oliver   v   ???


If Dennis Atkins is available on the day then I have agreed with Dave that he can take the place of one of their players.

Can I ask a question.... How is this allowed to happen when our team have had to start finals night at 1:30-2pm for a number of years and also been told that all finals are to be played on finals night?

Thanks

Yes, you can ask the question Ian but we don't want this to get out of hand!
A simple explanation is that the Vikings are in both team competitions (against Donnington) and also have players in the Three's, Pairs and some Individuals. Pete doesn't want a repeat of last year, where we started early and finished late, so he asked if the Three's could be played beforehand. I said that you guys would probably want to play the Three's on the day (confirmed) so Donnington have agreed to play the KO cup beforehand. It means that we will probably still have to start around 2pm but hopefully no earlier. Teams like to play on finals day/night and if there were different teams in the team comps we would almost certainly not be able to do what we are doing. As far as I am aware there is no rule stating that all finals must be played on finals day/night although I agree that it's the way it's always been.

Hope this helps....Cheers
