Lightning Tournament
Nathan wrapped up the lightning tournament by continuing to win while his main rival Tony faltered. Andrew scored most points on the night but could not make up the lost ground from a poor first night.
Gary continued his hoodoo against Tony but Andrew managed to win against Gary by swapping chairs mid-game (the first chair was too low).
Greg managed to ‘avoid the spoon’ but said he was most please with his performance in one of his games in which he played very well.
