il buono il brutto il cattivo

Here is the final league table. Chris Peros is our Champion and why not. League points will be converted into raising chips on a ratio of 25 chips per league point. A further 5,000 raising chips will be available to each finalist for the very reasonable sum of £50.

By my calculations which I've just done on my fingers we should have somewhere in the region of £1500 to play for if everyone claims the extra chips. You could buy 15 awesome Space Lego sets for that so it's worth playing for.

The final shootout will take place on Monday September 7th - kick-off 8.10pm.

Our penultimate game of the season was a bruising encounter one which none of us who played in it or witnessed it will forget until at least tomorrow lunch time.


Our final game will be next Monday's £30 freeze-out with buffet (£40 buy-in) after which we will have a week off. The Grand Finale will be played on September 7th. Only 9 buy-ins required to qualify for the game - each league point converted into 25 raising chips. An additional 5,000 chips can be bought on the night for a bullseye, two ponies, or just £50. IT'S UP TO YOU.




The Final Countdown

With just two games of the season remaining it's all getting so exciting I'm literally shitting tension. Who people, who will be the 2009 Windrush Valley Card Club Champion? Will Chris of Peros' chip lead be enough to see him manouever his way through the grand final field? Or will we see one of the shorties David their way past Peros' Goliath with a pokering equivalent of a sharp pebble to the eye?

In your eye you big hairy Arab bastard


Andy Perrie, Pete Spedding and Nick Dobson are one game away from qualification; Jason Oliver will need to play both remaining games.

A seven letter word for "attics" is of course Garrets.

Monday's game was an horrific carnage involving draws and out-draws not seen since Wild Bill Hickock was new to the game. Andy Perrie was the last man standing and this means with only three games left in the season nothing really exciting has happened as far as the league table is concerned. But this is it anyway:

As we speak we have 13 confirmed runners for the Final game in September with another 6 runners who can still make it. Those runners be: Neil of Gladding, Paul of Lazenbury, Nick of Dobson - who has not been seen since the Rosè challenge and we have heard tell of serious concern amongst his family members for his welfare, Jason of Oliver, Pete of Spedding and Monday's victor - Andy of Perrie.

If anyone has seen Nick Dobson please contact us immediately.

£5 re-buy tonight

We're in our last month of the season people. Tonight's £5 re-buy is the first of our four remaining games and by lord it promises to be a ripsnorter. The league winner market (without Chris Peros) on Betfair is a traders dream. It's all just so bally exciting it's playing havoc with my stress incontinence.

See you all this evening. Anyone wishing to know what a ripsnorter is can see me before the game.
