Another Thursday, another night on the Marie Celeste. Or so it nearly seemed. Six of us. Three old-stagers, one young-stager and two new lads. Still, some worthy tough games were played. Away from the club our G team played Dundee E:

1132 - Norman Waugh 1 - 0 Steven Knox - 700e
1018 - Blair Marshall 0 - 1 Scott McKenzie - 649
u/g - Ananthi Ramachandran ? Lee Knox - 0
u/g - Judith Firth 0 - 1 Camila Montenegro - 0.

A nice win in what has turned out to be a very tough campaign against amazing teams and players. With one round to go Dundee sit in 5th place on 4 points, but are too far behind this season to reach the semi-finals.
Well played Jacques Ophoff CM (2260); David Findlay (2150); Declan Shafi (2087)[...]
