Well done to Atticus players Andrej Stancak, Steve Kee, Dave James and David Odunaiya for winning tonight's MCA Lightning Tournament.
However they finished only 1 point ahead of Runners up Waterloo with the excellent line-up of Colin Horton, Joe Ormrod and guests players Luke Boumphrey and Steve Burge.
Thanks again to Kevin Sartain and Prescot for organising this very enjoyable end of the season evening.
