The result wasn't important (that means Croesy lost) but Girlings were about half our average age, not that I'm making excuses. But seriously, the result wasn't important. A great night was had by all and what was most important was that a total of £1,500 was raised for Meach's wife Michelle and family.
Thanks very much to everyone for their support.
