Georgie does The Grange proud

Congrats Georgina Jamieson of The Grange Squash, winning 3 of her 4 matches (all against men) in the B grade at Abercorn,
beaten only by eventual winner Artiz Azpetia, a two-fisted left-handed speedster (in case you thought Christy was the most unconventional opponent in the world).
    And that was after she played out a five-game mini-league on Sun morning against Gorzer, by way of warm-up.

Stags Sevens sink the good ship Lloyds: salvage required

Cruising through Edinburgh, the good ship Lloyds SRC was sunk early on by salvos from ex-Lloyds player Tom McEwan, Christy, Duncan Walker and Allan Wallace. Amid some marathon and very hotly-contested matches which all went the way of the hosts, Simon Engelen got swung his turrets and got a consolation score.

Bob asked me not to post the game scores so here they are:
7. Tom "Export" McEwan bt Gohir Rashid 9/2 9/4 8/9 9/7
6. Christy "Windmill" Looby bt James Owen 9/6 8/9 9/7 1/9 9/5
5. Allan "Braveheart" Wallace bt Bob Sherlock 9/5 9/2 9/7
4. Duncan "Terminator"  Walker bt Jehangir Kedan 9/4 9/2 9/3
3. Pete "Captain" Cockburn bt Matt "The Show" Cosby 0/9 5/9 9/2 9/4 9/7

1. Will "The Kurgan" Kerr lost Simon "Captain" Engelen 6/9 1/9 1/9

Kevin Moran, portrait of an artist as a young man...

His latest work of art, from a beach somewhere called Coffs in Australia...

Jump circuit has given him unfeasibly large thighs... Picasso used to draw his subjects in a similar style.
