Play is slow. Hoops should be easy but are being made to look challenging.

This could be due to the bitter north east wind or could be early season. The pictures will show clear blue skies with minimal cloud. beautiful.
But when the wind blows...............

Block A is looking like Stephen (playing well, better than in previous years at this time of year) and John Spiers. John looks very steady and is focussed.
Stephen has just beaten John 7-4

In the B Block.
Will Gee is 5/6 having lost 7-6 to Chris Roberts. Will jumped 12 leaving Chris having to play through the hoop to hit red. This he did with a great shot putting his ball 4feet in front of 13. This he ran to take the game.

James goodbun is also 5/6 after his early defeat to Helena
