Points of note:
Captain Marvel (Martin H) returns to see the Dragon back to winning ways. Both Martin and Simon win all their legs on the night. Simon also hits the crucial and very high pressure double 3 to win the match in the eight (yes I am milking it).
Paul loses his second single on the trot to someone who fell out his pram to get to the oche. (I have no idea how to spell this word and FrontPage is no help so I'll take Simon's word for it. Webmaster)
Horse loses his single to his namesake and Godson!
Hot and cold streaks:
Geoff has won three singles in a row.
Paul has lost two singles (although this wouldn't be noteworthy for anyone else).
Martin H has won 4 doubles in a row.
Simon, Horse and Rich have won 4 fours in a row.
