Confused
Seriously good Yorkshire team for the Open final today. Adair played last year I guess but still. Rather useful opposition so we'll see if its enough.

Be surprised if Yorks don't win

Re: Finals day 2 July
Essex must be favourite in the U180, given Lancs are weaker than the semi-final (and have 16 eligible players too ) - good luck to the 5 Manticores in the Lancs teamNeil Graham wrote:2016 Finals:-
SCCU 7 (8)
MCCU 4 (2)
NCCU 2 (2)
EACU 1 (1)
WECU 0 (1)
2015 Finalists in brackets.
Last year there were 4 SCCU winners, 2 NCCU and 1 MCCU. This year there are two SCCU only clashes and 1 MCCU only meeting so the SCCU will do well to equal or exceed their 2015 totals.
As a reminder here are the running totals of titles for the last five years:- SCCU 19; MCCU 8; NCCU 5; EACU 2; WECU 2

I guess this is like Middlesex Tigers v Yorkshire Heffalumps??

Easy game for Matty Webb the past couple of years Do have to wonder what on earth Eames missed on move 24.

Re: Finals day 2 July
All the finals days charts on that website just show one of the teams, I assume it's just the format of the table.
Matthew Webb has been winning so many games like that in the last couple of years, it's very impressive. He won in a similar fashion against Gavin Wall in the Semi-Finals.

Re: Finals day 2 July
Bob Eames, accepted the Evans Gambit : played like a Tiger. The drawback of playing like a Tiger is that it increases the probability of losing as well as winning!

Re: Finals day 2 July
Two easy wins to nil now; Middlesex probably feared that something like this might happen, whilst hoping it wouldn't. It is of course possible to go two down and then recover, as Essex did v Kent in 2006, but not very realistic when you already started the match as clear underdogs.

Peter Ackley , outgraded by about 15 points and thus with an expected score of about 0.35 played like a Tiger against a Heffalump taking the game into swampish territory. Unfortunately he was crushed??

Re: Finals day 2 July
I think Peter played more like a Hedgehog or a Hippo than a Tiger...

Re: Finals day 2 July
Colin Mackenzie drew with White and never looked in any trouble against his higher rated opponent. Maybe because he played like a Heffalump?!
