Sunday 13th January dawns grey and overcast and rain is forecast, but Nance assures the assembled company that it wont start until 12 noon which, even with Bretts haphazard starting arrangements, should see the boys back in the sanctuary of the bar well before the deluge. There are two absentees. Turbo is preparing Mr. Grumpys lunch and once again Fat-Boy has prioritised riding the pigskin bus into tuna town above the company of his chums. 

Undemocratically Nance decides to supervise the toss up and sends DJ, Tate and Cutie-Cutie out before himself, Mr. Grumpy and Brett. The start is from the 6th which counterbalances the toughest opening drive against the welcome prospect of early sandwiches. Tate, DJ and Cutie-Cutie all streak drives up the middle, but its a false dawn and the match turns out to be a routine victory for the second three ball by 88 points to 79 with both nines going comfortably their way. In mitigation DJ is at pains to point out that Nance, Mr. Grumpy and Brett are actually playing cumulatively 16 shots above their true handicap to Tate, Cutie-Cutie and DJs mere 4. Its a good point, well made, but nothing that a couple of more regular appearances by Cutie-Cutie cant correct. 

Individual honours are shared by Nance and Mr. Grumpy with 40 points, Mr. Grumpy also collecting a mere two camels and an OOB. Normal service is resumed in the other 3 ball with Tate picking up 10 bactrians or dromedaries (but which has got the two humps?).
