Guy rang me on Tuesday evening to tell me that Braunstone could only come with three. 'Three what. What are you on about?' was my response, as i had quite forgotten that there was a Cup Match.
I assembled a team with an hour to go. Hacker and Ray were the first to answer the phone and agree to play.
I collected Dave from a Nimby meeting at The Plough - It seems that many houses may be appearing in Littlethorpe.
Given my lack of organisation it did not seem right to demand that Braunstone default a board and we decided therefore to decide the match over three boards.
Things didn't go well.
Dave tried like crazy for a perpetual but failed. I was doing alright until the inevitable time trouble and then self destructed. Ray waited until my resignation before toppling his own king over.
