Glass balls at the ready...

With the tension building and the bunting being prepared, focus of late has been drawn the SCC's annual sweepstake.

As avid supporters of the SCC will know, it is a tradition that each year a famous celebrity will pop their clogs.  As this is almost a certainty, there is normally a brief sweep within the SCC players to guess who the unfortunate recipient will be.  In a strange twist to this years proceedings the rules have been altered due to Operation Yewtree throwing up so many family favourite celebrities to be banged up for historical kiddy fiddling.

This years sweep sees the players not only guessing who will kick the bucket but also who will be arrested, favourites so far are:

Tarrant – 5/1
Brucey – 10/1
Barrymore – 2/1
Blackburn – 4/1
Cilla  – 20/1
Cliff  – 16/1

On other issues, the ex Team Manchester pairing of Guyton and Bumwell host their annual 2 rounds of 9 at Royal Hale tonight in preparation for the big event next week, Guyton had this to say, "I always like coming to play Royal Hale, the way it plays so differently on each round of 9 really tests a golfers focus and endurance. I like to think that I am ready for the SCC each year, but Royal Hale always exploits my weaknesses. The tricky 290 yard 8th (17th) hole always swallows up a few balls when I launch up a nice hanging high fade. I just hope the North Wales golf club can live up to the comparison of this nasty little 9-holer."
