THE WOODEN SPOON

A fantastic result for the ladies this Sunday when once again we were able to present the Wooden Spoon to the Gents!! Unfortunately I was unable to attend however as the saying goes 'it is not the taking part that's important!!!' or something like that..... I am told it was a great day which included all the usual banter!! I believe the ladies won 5-3 (correct me if I am wrong).

Many thanks to all the Gents for a great day and look forward to the next event.

Well done all ladies!
