Wheatley Knock Out Cup 2009-10

Introduction
The Wheatley team handicap knock out competition is intended to be a bit of fun and is designed to allow teams with lower graded players a good chance of success. Strong players should not be deterred, because games are not graded. Laurence Wheatley (No e-mail, telephone 07752 328 267 evenings 7-9pm and weekends only please) is the Controller.
