Congratulations, hearty and well deserved, to Benoit, who joined the club only recently, but has plenty of experience that he used convincingly to demolish most of the opposition - but not the unorthodox Zoe! Thanks are due to Graham and the injured Andy for organising and refereeing. Pictures by courtesy of Chris appear in the Photos section.
