Glorney

[John Watkins]

Declan managed to play Scottish + Glorney and scored 3.5/5.
Imagine if Lennart and Murad had played too!
My plan would have been for Glorney Cup squad to have left as soon as their game finished.
Prizegiving would be skipped, Murad could have got trophy at say AGM.
If he had played Glorney he could then have had two trophies on his mantelpiece instead of one !

Well done Murad on winning the Scottish and FM title as well I presume?

Declan took a bye in the last round of the Scottish to travel to Wales on Sunday?

Lennart and Murad would have missed out on any potential uplift in their places if they similarly took a last round bye.  Who could predict when both of their games would finish?  Certainly looking at a very late post midnight arrival in Wales (8 hours by car excluding breaks) for a 9.15am kick off and a 2.30pm kick off (2 games on the Monday)?

The real question is the timing of the Glorney Cup.  Surely the early half of August would make much more sense as all schools across the UK would be off on holidays then?

If Murad had played the Glorney and skipped the last round he could then have had no trophy on his mantelpiece instead of one !

Well done to the Glorney Cup teams and their support people for all of their efforts.  Keep up the good work.
