Some belated thoughts and observations.......... First of all, massive thanks to all involved in the organisation - you are the true heroes. Stu C, Jean, Silent, Alan B and the table installers and taker-downers. And of course Nigel for the scheduling (ran pretty much to target times) and the very nice souvenir programme packed with facts and figures. Well done to Boball on his first Open Championship: he was runner-up in Surrey a few years back, so it was bound to happen. A 20k in the semi-final against Martin Cole underlined his credentials. Well done too to beaten finalist Simon Coleman, he played impressively all day and took some notable scalps. All five of the Roffey Club-based players had their moments: - Moose lost a close match to Colin Robbins who overhauled a 7k lead, then got through a round of Plate before losing to eventual winner Daniel Wheal;
- Fairsy actually knocked Dan out of the Main, but then lost to Son of Simon;
- Sleezy can feel hard done by: an excellent win over Sir KT but then came up against winner Boball at the Last 16 stage;
- StuC eliminated (new) England teammates Fitz and Nigel but came up against Martin Cole at the same stage;
- - and what about Twiggy ? Quarter-finalist in his first Open, breezed past two more Internationals Pete Sainsbury and Alan Donovan before also going out to Boball.
A great day which provided some good memories.
