Club Championship 30th October

You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife, friendships were strained and family’s split in this hard fought tournament.

 

A tense final

The usual suspects were triumphant, Bev “Don’t F**k With Me” Cotton went out early 3 – 0 to one of the heroes of the Irish Open Nicky AKA “The Persian Tiger”, the flamboyant Vic “The Bull” Sprake defeated Mossy “The Persian” in a hard fought battle 3 – 2 and “DJ” Mike went out to last month’s champion Philip “The Body” Newton 3 – 0.

One of the big surprises of the tournament was when young hopeful “Fearsome” Fion went out 3 – 2 to a newcomer to the Clonakilty Backgammon circuit William AKA “Billy the Kid” In the semi-final “The Bull” was savaged by “The Tiger” 3 – 1 and “Billy the Kids” reign of terror ended 3 – 2 at the hands of “The Body”.
The final was a tense affair when “The Body” took an early lead with a performance that showed “The Tiger” why he was last months champion but “The Tiger” was just waiting to spring his trap and what a trap, with a series of lucky dice throws and regular taunting he won point after point to demoralise “The Body” with a 3 – 1 defeat.

Some said that “The Body” was crying at his humiliation others said that he just had a speck of dust in his eye who knows what the truth is, one thing is for certain, once “The Klingon” comes out of hiding and repairs his broken nail and faces his nemesis “The Tiger” blood will flow, no quarter will be asked and none given. So come on “Klingon” put down your knitting, put on your cardigan and embrace your destiny.
