Tuesday 12th August 2025

 29 players tonight.

Dilhun again ran the night while Gary, though present, was not fully recovered from his cold.

Dilhun reminded the flock that the Newcastle Open was on this Sunday and encouraged people to attend.

Zhiman was declared ladder leader and player-of-the-month for July and had is entry fee refunded.

Jenny Saunders was the drawn giantslayer and accepted the challenge with glee but sadly failed to slay the giant.

Ken Kershaw was the jackpot but was cut down by David Reitzin in the first round.

 Thanks to deputy Dilhun who ran the show while Gary was laid up with a cold.

28 players made up the field tonight.

Peter Voulgaris was the drawn jackpot. When Peter won his first two rounds it looked like the jackpot might go off tonight. But in round three his hopes were dashed by Robbie Baudish who won by the razor-thin margin of 7-6.
