It's late and we lost, those unbeaten records tumbling like so much tumbleweed in the Manor Club. In brief:

• Andy was first in and first out, leaving with zero points: not his night
• Kennedy did well for his brace but fell to quiet man Michael
• Ed also got a brace, also getting nowhere (as usual) against Michael, also taking five ends to get past ever-improving Martin

Winsley was bemoaning his luck having had two nasty knee operations this year, then slipped on the net partition and hit that same knee. Match temporarily postponed. Luckily he wasn't too bad.

With Andy off on his Brompton, up to Kennedy and Ed to land that 5th point and claim a draw. Didn't happen. Slipped through our fingers like a broken Isle Of Wight souvenir.
