Saturday 20th May 2017
Good morning from a warm and bright Allesley Park. There’s a shower forecast and the clouds are gathering but we’re not going to let that dampen our spirits!

We’ll let Alex do that.

Alex “Born Lucky” Myers has suggested the following odds:
Lewis & JB 1/3
Packwood & Will 5/6
Jimmy & Alex 5/2

However, 4 time champ Jimmy & 3 time champ Alex have been attempting to upset the odds by surreptitiously practicing…

Al finally turns up and Will gets us under way.
