Friday BBQ

With the sun trying to BBQ us today, it was appropriate that tonight's tournament was called BBQ Friday.  The three players who jointly won tonight's event probably felt they had been BBQ'd by the end, such was the close finish.

Going into the last round, Rowantree looked in pole position to win with 3 wins from 3 games, before falling to WiseCrabbyCoconut in the final round.  With his win in the last round, both WiseCrabbyCoconut and RichSmoothPanda were able to clinch a three way tie for the victory with Rowantree - well played to all players.

The Results...
Joint 1st: RichSmoothPanda, WiseCrabbyCoconut, Rowantree
