There’s a small, but quite interesting, revision to the fourth round club championships draw.
After looking at the draw as made out, it became apparent that if Ross and Desmond – down for byes in round 4 due to Glorney holidays – were instated into the draw, they’d actually be down to face each other. There seemed no reason not to let them play their game at some stage before the final round as it changed nothing else in the draw, which is now as below.
It’s interesting that my mistake with the colours in Ross v Anastasija has actually allowed colours to match in round 4 so the Zdravko v Anastasija and Ross v Desmond ties can take place. One of my more interesting mistakes!
What we now need in round 4 is a win for John and a draw for Ger, which would maximise the chances of a complete set of family derbies in the final round.
