Dave Allison takes a trip down memeory lane -
 

I first played Tony Gorman  in division 1 in the 1982-3 season, my first year in Milton Keynes. It's fair to say neither of us look like we did then!  In the final game of the final match of that season, on a Friday night at the old community centre in Fenny,  he beat me 21-19 in the 3rd to finish top of the averages. Had I won, I would have finished top. He also beat me in the first match that season but I did have revenge in the Bucks restricted singles final and the division 1 top 8 final.  

Strange what you remember!
