Congratulations to Henry and Clive who made it through to the final of the Masters today

Well done for organising such a great day again, Lorraine.
Play was competitive though there were a few laughs to be had as well. ;)

Thanks to Sparky for his dutiful table care - the USC's own top is going to be awesome now that it has new cushions.

Thanks too to the club for laying on both a tasty curry and a chilli con carne with puppadoms. :P :-* :-*

Lorraine has promised to sort the scores out, but here's how the 2nd Masters went:
In a quirky turn of fate, all the higher seeds in the top half of the draw got through on the table hired for the day, whilst all the lower seeds in the bottom half got through on the Club's own table. :o
Whatever..........both tables played absolutely superbly. 8-)
