This morning we began our defence of last year’s SCF B-League title, level play AC under advanced rules. But in contrast to that undefeated 2023 season, East Dorset came to Blewbury and brought us down to earth with a bump. Although Peter Allan competently won his game +16, Avril R-M and I both struggled to find our form, and we two lost -17 and -8(t) respectively. Avril’s opponent gallantly and cheerfully admitted, while tucking into his lunch, that he had played unusually well today. Result: a 1-2 defeat for Blewbury.
Our next B-League match will be against Oxford University, who are coming to Blewbury on Saturday morning, 4 May.
