Update – we’re breaking from the ‘middle Thursday’ rule this month, thanks to an England match on Wednesday 15th.
Kick off at 8pm
£2 per player, maximum 5 to a team
Lots of prizes!
The Bread and Roses is in Clapham Manor Street, off Clapham High Street (Turn off the High Street when you get to the KFC)
Maple Leaves, with 86%, followed by 4 Non Blondes (no, not the band on a night off) with 83%. Roast Dinners won a tie break to come third.
This month there were no teams of 2 players, so that prize went unclaimed (see previous month)
Well played everyone!
