The Club Championships

                         

The close championship (Gold Cup) race took another dramatic turn this week with Dave overtaking Jan in 2nd place. So Jan has now dropped from 1st to 3rd in the space of two weeks and countered by playing with a professional on Friday, but he failed to get a qualifying result.

 

 

Gold Cup = Best 30

Silver Plate = Best 10

Bronze Medal = Best 5
