Well done to The Atlas on winning the final 4-1. It is a shame that the venue did not do the final justice. In fact the only good thing about the place in my view was the prices at the bar. Nigel had the highest match score with 5k+, Martin was next with 4k+. Every body else the ended thier games with a score was on around 2.5k. Not good when you think that of the ten people who played, only three have not either played for or been reserve for the England team. Still congrats again to The Atlas and Ian on being the first to win the Triple Double.
P.S. This is not sour grapes on my part. All the players and supporters held the same view, even the winners.

Yes, well done to the Atlas A on winning the Double. It`s a shame the table got harder as the night went on :-[ I specifically went in early to put it right, so both teams could enjoy the match. I don`t know what it is with that top, it has always been very whippy, so whether the top plays fast or slow, it will always be tricky. As Regg3y said, with several past or current England players on show, it certainly tested their abilities.
If the West Tarring Club do win Division 2, they may have to think about a new top, there`s something about this one that isn`t quite right ??? :-/

Hi Kev,
I think that there is more to this than just a tricky top. The venue itself wasn't really up to the job. Ten players and least 7 people just watching the game made the room a bit crowded. Although the bar prices were good, if more than three people wanted serving you could wait for 20 mins for a beer. I know it's not important but no food laid on where everyother pub I know would have sorted something. I could go on but it would sound like I was just being picky.
