This year only 3 SELWGers, Bryan , Ken and I, went to South Wales for the annual pilgrimage that at one time took up to 20 of us down there. Ken teamed up with his old mate Andy to play Dinosaurs Before Men (DBM) and Bryan and I went for the ADLG doubles.
Saturday saw a poor match up and poor team discipline lose us the first game, and a rash attack, backed up by miserable dice thrown by my partner, cost us the second. But we did damage in both so earned some points. On Sunday morning Bryan's dice redeemed themselves but we couldn't quite seal the deal and got a draw. Landing at the bottom of the pool we eventually found our true level and won convincingly in the afternoon.
Overall we accumulated 185 points and came 12th out of 20 teams.
There is a trophy for highest placed SELWG team at Godendag and we're claiming it. It's not for me you understand; my name is already on it from the occasions when I carried a certain Mr Ric Davey to top table at DBM and FOG Ancients. It's for Bryan.
