season was going to be a memorable one and the spectators were not
disappointed at all.
Every one was in a state of shock when the two hot favourites weren’t there.
The Klingon failed to appear again as speculation was rife as to his
absence, had he lost his touch, was he afraid, what was it? Only The Klingon
knows the truth. The Persian Tiger was also missing some say he was still
on a drinking binge after beating The Body in last month’s final.
the Body despite fluttering her eyelashes on a number of occasions.
New hopeful John, AKA City Slicker was taken out by Bev “Don’t F**k with me”
Cotton 3 – 1 displaying his new aggressive style (rumour has it that he has
been coached in private by The Persian Tiger).
Next to fall was Mark AKA “Rab C” who fell to Vic “The Bull” Sprake in a
close match that finished 3 – 2. DJ Mike, who has yet to find his form, beat
William AKA “Billy the Kid” in a marathon 3 – 1 match.
Tension mounted as The Body humiliated DJ Mike in very convincing style with
a 3 – 0 defeat when DJ Mike took a very suspect double.
In a match that is the stuff of legends Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton beat
Vic “The Bull” Sprake in a very close 3 – 2 match that everyone was sure The
Bull would win but yet again Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton displayed his
new aggressive style of play in a match that nearly went on into the next
day.
It was decided by the tournament director that the final between Bev “Don’t
F**k with me” Cotton and The Body would be played the following day as a 5
point match.
When The Body and Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton came together at 1:30 the
next day the crowd had gathered and were expecting something special to
happen and they weren’t disappointed Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton went 2
– 0 up very quickly but
The Body came back to make it 2 – 2, it then went to
3 – 2 to Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton then 3 – 4 to The Body, the crowd
was in uproar. It looked like it would be all over when Bev “Don’t F**k
with me” Cotton offered The Body the double and a loud gasp could be heard
when The Body arrogantly accepted it much to every one’s surprise it was
then that Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton turned on the new magic and
devastated The Body by beating him 5 – 4.
The Body tried to be cool about the whole match but an audible quiver in his
voice told a different story. Some say The Body will never recover from this
defeat others say Bev “Don’t F**k with me” Cotton’s win was just a flash in
the pan, who knows what 2014 will bring, what we do know is that the world
of Backgammon is waiting for 2014 with baited breath.
