Tables have been re covered today for this event. ( Well its now yesterday )
Many thanks to Gary Swettenham and Adam Hewson for spending tonight at The Farley making sure the cushions dont ping, the balls run down the rails, and there is no roll offs. Just leaves me to check the light bulbs are ok.  |

Old Boys turned up mob handed tonight,15 players but, after last nights bashing Croydon Youth pulled out their biggest hitters... Millsey getting a day pass from his nursing home...
Swettenhams tactics paid off... Croydon Youth running out 20- 10 winner on the night to level the match... |

Quality couple of nights. Old and largely retired players turn up with 15 players, some travelling from 100's of miles away.
Current Coydon team couldn't get enough players to avoid having to use former players like myself, Esgrove, my Mrs, and Andy Kastrinakis.
Tells you something about the current level of commitment to the Croydon representative team.
Anyways was great to see old faces like Steve Smith in town, and the overall vibe was superb.
P.S. I got dropped for my Mrs, total Burnett contribution 1 win (Marcia) from 9 played.
I'm officially rubbish.
P.P.S. Chris Brooker has a big c*ck. He rolled up his trouser leg and showed it to me. |

Highlight of last night - Gary Fearne says to Swetts "I was 15 when I played for croydon. Where were you? You're sh!t...", then plays his shot and stuns the white straight into the nearest pocket

Just to say a big thanks for all those that attended and the monies raised was a great effort by all. I received a letter from one of the old boys, Gordon Beard, who could not make it due to medical grounds (I'm sure as the years go on a few more will fall foul of that as well .. lol) who enclosed a personal donation of ?25 to the said charity which is now on its way to Bob to be sent off. |
