David wins the York White Rose tournament

The 2020 White Rose is an AC tournament at York. 12 players completed 32 games in the course of  two days, with no time-limits.  A suitably social yet Covid-compliant picnic marked the middle evening. 
The lawns at York are flat, but heavy and patchy. The weather threatened but rain held off and there were no crises.  David beat Beatrice McGlen in one semi-final and Eugene Chang beat Callum Johnson in the other. David then beat Eugene +5 in a closely contested final, Eugene opting to lay up when faced with a long approach to 4-back with his second ball, and David hitting what he left.

David's win was all the sweeter as it was the first win by a Yorkshireman (after two years of Lancashire triumph!)
