A fine victory which rewarded the captain's sterling recruitment effort. A few days before Richard was worried about being able to put out a full side. A visit to the club secured Alan's services. He also managed to bring in Stan, who I seem to recall reduced his play in mid-winter a few seasons ago, to turn out on the coldest night of the year so far. It was very much a team victory with Alan's win backed up by 4 solid draws. 

A satisfactory haul of 7 points from 7 games in the first half of the season for A4, although the captain's resourcefulness will continue to be tested in the second half as players lose eligibility to play for his team.
