Hi Y'All
Lowestoft 2.5 ...St John's Bishops 1.5....played 08/10/2018. Written by intrepid reporter Gerry Clayton. Some of you may have seen tonight's result. IT IS NOT THE WHOLE STORY!!!! We set off in the Nicholsmobile, The atmosphere was electric. Everybody was talking at once. We were facing a team that were relegated from Division 1 - they came 3rd from bottom in the table and I have no idea how they got relegated! We were a team that was hungry. Hungry for a kill { so we could eat it!)!! We mused that we should phone our opponents and say that our car had broken down near a curry house and we couldn't make the match. Simon had been on drugs all day at the hospital. I had succumbed to a halloumi burger and Ghost Ship at lunch and didn't know which way was up. Phil was Phil. Nigel had cut so much grass that day he was stoned. We almost flew over the Acle Straight. The Parkhill was in sight. Fuck! I needed a drink. The log fire was cold. The bar was open... Into the arena.............. Shit Shit Shit. We were outgraded by 110 points overall. We fought and fought and fought. I am absolutely so proud of all that took part. Nigel was the first to finish and an admirable result against a player that had beaten Tal and Botvinnik when he was younger. Well Done Nigel. Me next., but no way was I going to let Leon Hines (an old rival) get away with an easy win. He outgraded me but | left him a broken wreck and I needed the drawn result. Phil's game was so even I was sure it was a draw but not to be. Simon the stalwart fought and fought. Very proud of him I was. It could have gone either way but a well deserved result against a very highly graded player. Say no more.................... THE BISHOPS ARE AMAZING.................... Am signing off now but I hope to let you have some of the players reports soon...
