Hang on a minute, I know I was in some sort of trance after our longer than expected visit to Flavours of India but I'm sure I remember playing Scott in some sort of final? And why no details on the origin of the famous silver salver?
Perhaps you are imagining things ;-) What was the score?
Ref: the (in)famous salver - you'd be better off keeping quiet about that!
Looking at the hazy photos from the event there is one of you versus Scott!
You did indeed lose the match, but it was right as the shutters were coming down on another night at 'The Buttons' so there's no photo of the scoreboard!
Scott is indeed the Undisputed Champion, but I'm guessing this'll soon be disputed!
Perhaps next time the tournament will be played without competitors/referees/scorers being 'under the influence'!
Looks like excellent fun.
I've covered it briefly on Strange Games:
