They think it's all over...

On 21 April, a band of hopefuls travelled to Ealing to take part in the annual Lloyd-Pratt friendly competition which celebrates Ealing's generous sharing of their club premises when HW was temporarily without any lawns.   The competition features both AC and GC matches.  

Without naming or shaming (not least because I was one of the AC players), the GC teams did splendidly, the AC pairs less so, resulting in a draw on games.  

Exactly the same happened two years ago, and the result, as then, was decided by target practice - first to hit the peg from the sidelines.  In a horrible case of history repeating itself, the first to hit the peg was Ealing's Fred White-Overton.  He's rather good at this, and we should hire him to teach us how it's done, then ask that he sit out the shoot-out next time on the grounds that he's already proved himself.

Thanks to Ealing for their hospitality and to all who took part.
