Spoilers For Monday August 24th 2015

Post by James Robinson »

So, we're back to a full week's action this week, and this could be a brilliant week ahead if all goes to plan today.

Chris Roy is the new champ after defeating 4-time champ Kevin Breeze last Tuesday. After a great start, he had a bit of a mixed middle, but he composed himself to get the conundrum he needed to win the match.

But, today, he's up against someone trying to right the wrong of 5 years ago, when he cruelly lost to Ryan Loughborough after being ahead for nearly all the match. But, he's here for his chance, our very own Jonathan Wynn. Can he make it into the champions' chair this time, and maybe be the #1 seed in 9 days time (or am I getting ahead of myself :? :?: )....

Gyles Brandreth is in DC until Wednesday, then ex-tennis player Greg Rusedski takes over on Thursday.

Join Andy for the recap later. ;) :) :D

Thanks to Jonathan's nervously quick buzz I managed to win today, but I hope to lose to him lots of times later this week.

Lucy spotted that Gyles and Nick were wearing the same tie (albeit tied differently so the colours didn't match at the knot).

Anyone know what this was for, or just a coincidence and not seen by wardrobe dept.?

As they mentioned at the start during Gyles' introduction, they were given to them by some patrons of Lancashire CCC, they're something like Patrons' ties or something like that. :P
