Virtus 2019- the results are in!

It would have taken a brave man to predict these results after the first day’s play. The dynamic duo of Paul and John had edged a lead and were unassailable by midday on the Sunday. Meanwhile us less gifted individuals fought tooth and nail for points to the sound of Chris Jackson’s incessant calls for judges rulings. Thank you to our wonderful administration operative Mr. Andrew for his amazing handling of the draw. Also, our thanks to Andy at Firestorm for making us so welcome. Stay tuned for a resume of my own poor showing and plans for next year. Have a great Christmas all!

So, after the top three, in no particular order I give you the victors and the vanquished, the players and the vanished…………
