SKABB League

I found myself with this Saturday unexpectedly spare and a tournament within reasonable driving distance so I headed off to Egham. I had no idea where Egham was before I left - it's a good job I have a semi-reliable satnav in the car to help me get there.

Round 1 v Sean (monkeyrage) I've chatted to Sean a fair bit before but this is th...
