The rapid match fell 5-3 to Bullwinkle, thanks not to the wily veterans but rather the club’s new generation, who played very well to compensate for mishaps elsewhere. Many thanks to Tyson Walker for organising the Gen Y team (plus venue and equipment) at short notice. The Bullwinkle mob proceeded to eat, drink and be merry at a post-match shindig wherein David Smerdon’s book on the Portuguese Variation was not quite resuscitated, and the group noun ‘a blunder of Nikolais’ was coined.
