Q7

No cocoa boys this week - 9 of us turned out for another fun ball-in-a-bag/bum evening on Wednesday.

Our Man in the Algarve made his 2014 debut in the Quaich and became the 21st name on this year's database.

Conditions were ideal and it was a surprise that, with two exceptions, scoring was, at best, modest. Chris recorded his first win this season with 39 points, just pipping Ian D. There was then a gap before the next best (me) on 33 points.

DoD was a closely fought contest and yet again it went to countback, with John M narrowly "beating" Jack, with both on 28 points.

Here's Chris receiving his prize ball from John:


With Dick not able to take part this week, Dan is now the only ever-present, but Ian D has made a significant move and has now managed to complete 5 rounds, despite his fears that he wouldn't be able to play enough this year. If he is able to get another 9 or 10 games in, he would be the early season favourite to take the Quaich - for the first time.

Here's the new Top 10:

              Top 10          Apps.         Wins          DoD's

4 Dring, Ian 178 5 1  
5 Dickinson, Chris 167 5 1
