Today I was reading old entries on the blog, trying to find the evening when we played games while Stokes Croft burned. When I found it I noticed that, in the comments, Adam mentioned Sam winning five games in a row. This was before the Form Table, and the concept of The Perfect Five hadn’t been invented, so I went back and checked to make sure all five games were leaderboard, and they were!
For the record, Sam’s Perfect Five wins were...
25th July 2011
Poison: Sam 14, Quentin 22, Joe 34, Andrew 37
3rd August 2011
7 Wonders: Sam 62, Paul 59, Andrew 46, Chris 45
Tinners’ Trail: Sam 87, Adam 82, Steve 64, Jonny 64
Poison: Sam 17, Adam 20, Steve 29
10th August 2011
Tsuro: Sam beat Hannah, Sally and Andrew
Congratulations! Just like West Aukland FC can lay claim to winning the World Cup before there was a World Cup, now Sam can make a similar claim regarding the Perfect Five!
Well, I'll be blowed. Thanks to Adam for mentioning it, and to Andrew for checking it. Also my agent and my team, without whom etc etc
ReplyDeleteWell done Sam!
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not re-visit Tinners Trail-gate - none of us wants that, surely. A rare moment of disharmony in the clan. :)
Thanks Joe. I've been holding up my arms in anticipation of the deluge of flowers, champagne and whatnot, but they're getting a bit tired now.

ReplyDeleteLooks like we're both lurking in the future, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2018 Novocon report. It's like time travel!
