We had a strong team with many great matches played over the two days. Thanks to all my players for playing and thanks for Queens for hosting and the delicious lunches and dinners. We were royally looked after. Match highlights – wonderful dinner with entertaining speeches from Benson, Clare Wood, Mark, Michel Leclercq and the French captain Heiner Tadault plus a fun game of ‘who am I’ which caused a lot of entertainment. Henk had to described himself as Dracula and Jack the Ripper! Thanks to all my players for playing and winning! Special thanks to Ross Niland and Lee Childs (in particular) who helped greatly in organising the event.
