We were all aware that not having the break back in single leg games was seen as unfair. Those of you who attended the 4x4 will know we amended our rules to say

With only 8 places left for the tournament things are looking good and can I take this opportunity to thank everyone that has already entered.
Also can I please remind you that we also use our tournament and the day to raise money for charity and once again this year we will be supporting The Suffolk Accident Resue Service, SARS. Any donations of items we can use as raffle prizes will be gratefully received.
