This week’s action…..

Deadly has a prior engagement at DFS to kit out his living space with some lounging equipment (N.B for expert advice on sofa choice please confer with our resident expert Junior)….

Hammerheed is AWOL once again, all eyes peeled for his mugshot on the side of milk cartons….

And tonight’s special guest, all the way from a couch in East Belfast, Cavehill Card Club welcomes Junior, on his annual appearance……

A brand new venue sees G playing host for the first time, they say first impressions last, and his misplacement of his house keys did leave a lasting impression, with the chips locked up in the impenetrable fortress it was time to initiate an impromptu plan B. After much deliberation and frantic phone calling his better half was tracked down and the chip set was recovered, but not before the parade had been re-routed to the Cavehill club……..You’ll never walk Rochester…..

7 lost souls finally find shelter for a late kick off…..

Junior’s return to the table reflects his prolonged absence, as he struggles to remember the name of the suits, and the ranking of the hands it would seem as he is the first to egress, Marlboro menthols, wooden spoon and all…….

The Professor’s straight takes down the pot, but a cry of ‘flush’ sees the blood drain from his face, ha only joking Prof, the clays are yours…..

More talk of transit vans takes place, relating to the ongoing saga of poker table transportation……tune in next week for another gripping episode – Will this inanimate object ever make it out of Junior’s spare room??

3 way action leaves myself, Cally and Swiller - with the blinds nearing the ceiling limit there is no margin for error, it’s all in with any face card for me, then all out as Cally’s is better, Queen of hearts beats the Jack of bubbles…….

Heads up sees Swiller in a podium place once again, a much better run in the second half of the season, but could it prove too little too late? On this occasion it proves too little and he will have to settle for second, as it’s our Mexican cartel that takes the stash….

The Cavehill league mirrors the Premier league; it’s currently a three horse race, but there is still plenty of time, and plenty of points…..

I’m Arsène Wenger…….We are still in the title race…..
