Quote of the day is from Andrew MacQueen on learning that Giffnock lose a point for defaulting 3 games already this season. "Thats fine, we will be safe as Forth Valley and Greenwood will go down". 4 hours later and Forth Valley have just beaten Hamilton A 3-2 putting them 4th and 4 points ahead of Giffnock...

I will be making up the crosstables on saturday morning

Names will appear when I have them

Neil Thomson may be featured on the live boards tomorrow. It's the final round and he's due to play on board 8. Play starts at 10am Lithuanian time, 8am UK time.

Turns out David Gillespie's draw was on the live boards today

but it looks like he just misses out on the live boards for tomorrow and Gary Gillespie's rounds 7 and 8 wins have come to late in the day to get him up onto the live boards.

The question is who'll finish top Scot and who'll be carrying the bags on the return journey home?

Final round live games should be found here, when play starts -

Morning everyone,

Just received a mail from Duncan advising that Bon Accord will not be able to make tomorrows matches. This means that Forth Valley 2 have a bye in the morning (and a lie in if they so wish) and the SJC team have a bye in the afternoon and an early finish

Should anyone from the 2 teams wish to remain we will arrange a graded friendly for you if there are any gaps in other teams.

I'd like to thank Duncan for giving us plenty of notice of this to allow the two teams affected time to make arrangements

Bon Accord are struggling to raise a team for this weekend with 8 players unavailable and only 3 able to play. If any of the other teams are bringing reserves could they get in touch with me (maybe CCing Glynis) at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:Grassieda@aol.com">Grassieda@aol.com</a><!-- e --> and we can at least fulfil our fixtures for the weekend.

Thanks,
Duncan

As those of you at East Kilbride club and those who went to Oban will have noticed, I am growing a moustache for "Movember" to raise money for charity.
