It's difficult to write a match report when you were never anywhere near the venue, but I felt I should record the fact that the A team chalked up another win on Thursday, away at Leamington, to retake first place in Division 1 as the season reached half-way. In the process the team also ensured that our C team would stay off the bottom of the table, a single point above Leamington A, albeit having played a game more. At the top, the picture is somewhat rosier, as Kenilworth A now has a two point lead over Warwick University, with a game in hand, while the B team are a further point back, having played the same number of games as the A team.

For the third time this season the A team won by 3-5-0.5 (a score achieved twice so far by the B team), but a 4-0 clean sweep remains elusive. Against Leamington there were wins for Keatan, Andrew and Josh on the top 3 boards, but Mike was held to a draw on Bd 4. No idea of we were thoroughly efficient or lucky as hell, but the final score will do just nicely thanks.
I think we can celebrate our mini-success with a bit of seasonal music. Ho-ho-ho and all that!
My all knowing spreadsheet tells me we've had this song once before, which is news to me. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't this version, which dates from 47 years ago. And the 50th anniversary of Bruce's first performance of the song has just passed, so it must be one of the earliest recordings out there. Happy Christmas everyone!
