Rightly or wrongly I’ve gone back to spend Christmas with the family and it proved very easy to travel and social distance.  Believe me it is easy to spend two weeks in isolation in England and I have no real desire to go outside.

Don however has sent me the competition results, without seeing the games I can tell there was some great games again.  We have four competitions at the quarter-final stage so if nothing else this pandemic has made a lot of space to bring the competitions along.

Results.
