IT’S OFFICIAL. Ronald “Suki” King is the winner of the Henderson Layne Memorial Draughts Tournament.
But he was felled at the last furlong, suffering a shock 1-0 defeat to replacement player Trevor “Gazook” Howell on Monday, carrying him to 32 points, four more than defending champion Junior “Post” Walrond.

Rawle “School Boy” Williams has performed consistently and a 1-0 victory over the improved Oliver Whitford enabled him to emerge the only unbeaten player. (HH)
