After last weeks matches the league table could not be much closer, with Whitefield on 49.5 - Stand and Pike on 48.5 and ourselves on 48 - so 1.5 points between the top 4 as we moved into week 12 with 3 games to go. Whitefield played at Ellesmere on Tuesday and surprisingly only came away with 2.5 points in a 5.5 - 2.5 defeat, putting them on 52 points. We where up next in our home game to Pike, who sat 0.5 in front of us, and earlier in the league had handed out our worst away defeat of the season 6.5 - 1.5, which was still fresh in my mind, and Revenge was required for 1) For us to equal or better that result and 2) Make a statement of intent and deflate our rivals league aspirations. So the scene was set on a lovely evening, with the course as firm as it has been all year, and home advantage when the course is like that is massive, could we cash in on all the above, sit down and let me begin......................................................................
