Plagued in recent weeks by the inadequacies of the telecommunications giants we have been unable to bring you all up to date with the very latest news from the Rose & Crown.
However being back online now we can report that the last couple of weeks have been full of high drama and tension and not without incident.
Going back to a fortnight ago The Rose and Crown visited the Bricketwood social club, a salubrious establishment that the visitors have, certainly in recent times struggled to come away from with a result. The home side started much the brighter and the hangover from last weeks exit from the cup looked like it was still weighing heavy on the visitors minds as they surrendered the first two pairings and once again looked in danger of travelling home from the outer limits with nothing to show for their efforts except perhaps for a few bails of straw and couple of baskets of root vegetables!!
But if nothing else the Rose & Crown have proved to be resilient over the years and with Tony Scott and Tom Wilson once again in inspiring form and John Goode and Paul Mullins continuing to confound the critics the tie was once again level.
The sandwiches arrived and with them a local government health inspector and after a short interlude and the discovery of some 1940’s ration books under the trays the game was allowed to continue!!
The in form duo of Paul Mullins and Tom Wilson swept to victory in their respective singles encounters and thus ensuring the visitors a point from a notoriously tough place to visit. Neither Tony Scott or Dave Noble could wrap up the victory but the visitors were more than happy with a well earned point.
