Sunday May 6th Scores
A wonderful bank holiday weekend, with sunshine, properly warm weather, and an excellent layout at the club today. If only we could have a summer like this. Like all good layouts most of the stands felt quite hittable, but the odd one slipped away here and there. It was a tough one however, with …
