As far as the Summer Skittling is concerned, we're now well and truly on the home straight. Naturally this is the cue for Red Lion 'B' to lose concentration, meander off the straight and narrow, and take a few diversions into the dodgy culdesacs of 'Near-miss', 'Lose-badly', and 'Sneak-a-Win'. Such is life in the Tuesday 'B' League.
Last weeks narrow victory came on the back of the Red Lion's Beer & Cider Festival. You'll forgive me if I don't give a blow-by-blow account of the heroics of the night. I wasn't playing, and there were one or two barrels of beer that needed my careful and undivided attention. Through half closed eyes I vaguely recall the clatter and clunk of polished Boxwood, occasional cries of 'They'll Go', and the gentle screech of chalk on board. Desborough Services came and went, then came back again for the Beer Leg. Did the Red win? I couldn't honestly say. It had been a long weekend, and this was my only chance to catch up on some well earned sleep...
...anyway, jerking awake just in time to grab a Sausage and a handfull of Chips, it was off home to dream of Brown Beer and burning pentagrams. Yes, it's another trip into the mysterious Arthingworth Rectangle. Our carriage for the night has been meticulously prepared for the trip with a liberal sprinkling of Holy Water. Team captain and designated driver for the night, Fiona 'Sat-Nav Not Required' Barby, has also anointed herself, with a dab or two of Dr Thompsons Original Tincture of Garlic behind the ears. But will it be enough!!!!
Beer Report: Lots of...
