 We broke our record again with 32 players fronting up tonight, including newcomer Steve Dafnakis.

When we have 32-39 players we award prizes to the five top scorers.

Amir Tehrani was thanked for donating a universal remote to use with the clubs newly installed monitors and, coincidently, was the drawn (but unsuccessful) jackpot.
