Title: Is this a tough home game or what???
Post by: ThinkerJE on December 09, 2007, 21:52:42 PM
Our regular monthly home game in Solihull has the following players;

Jon Garrett - 4th at Luton
Mike Hopkinson - 10th at Walsall
Simon Auckland - just finished 3rd in Manchester
James Edwards - complete fish

So apart from me, a very tough game based on history and current form.

So the question is do you play in a tougher home game???

My experience of home games is form goes out of the window after 2 crates of stella, and a bottle of the finest whisky.

Don"t regularly play there, but on Friday we had a corker @ The Duke"s house.



Not a bad home game.  But Jimmy"s right about the beer factor!

Hahahahaha, that was definitely a game and a half. Although I think you were being a bit too generous with your description of me there Dan, I don"t have any sort of game at the moment, it"s all gone out the window!

A bit of time on my hands this evening and I got to thinking about the quality of my local weekly "home game"... probably prompted by the fact that I chopped it heads-up on Monday night!!  ;D

Anyway I came up with this -

(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s71/RioRodent/FoxHoF.jpg) (http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s71/RioRodent/FoxHoF.jpg)


Not bad for a game that averages 35 runners, I thought? And the most consistent player over the last few years isn"t even on the list.
