BBC News – King Charles II: Playing cards used by monarch found in attic
Bakers Arms B got off to a flying start in Round 1 against the Piglets, winning 7 out of 9 games in the Main League and all 3 of their games in the Beer. Meanwhile Brown Jackettes won the Beer against Brown Jack A in their first ever League match. The team were over the moon!


The Red Lion Buddies (which used to play at the Fancy B) have decided to move to The Crown in Aldbourne. Tanya has said the team will remain called the Red Lion Buddies rather than The Crown Buddies or anything else. It’s in honour of the Red Lion pub before it became The Fancy B.
Brown Jack B have decided to rename themselves the Brown Jackettes, to move out of Brown Jack A’s shadow!! We wish them good luck with their new name.
The results for the second round of the Retrac were as follows:
Match 5: Blue Boar bt Red Lion Buddies
Match 6: The Masons 2 – 7 Bakers A
