If I ever become a rich man,
Or if ever I grow to be old,
I will build a house with deep thatch
To shelter me from the cold,
And there shall the Sussex songs be sung
And the story of Sussex told.

I will hold my house in the high wood
Within a walk of the sea,
And the men that were boys when I was a boy
Shall sit and drink with me.

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)

Keithley - Very consistent, finished well after slow start in the Sussex Cup. Champion material.

Bradley - Reported to have asked for quotes from 3 engravers. Very confident but tough Handicap mark.

Chaz. Reigning Champion, will go close again. Won’t be hindered by hard Saturday night.

Geoff - Steady in last years Sussex Cup and best player in field. Feared.

Johnny- Always a danger. Consistent pendulum swing. Live Chance at a price.

Wayne - Overated Salad dodger. Yet to make the top 6 in any Cup. Exposed.

Darty - Heartbreak in last years Sussex Cup. Likely to have blown best chance. Doesn’t use driver enough.

Des - Lack of practice may prove costly. Will be in the mix for a place.

Joe - Statto knows what it takes to win. Well practised and lovely swing but not obvious winner.

Den - Good 2nd round last year. Capable but place at best.

Bally - Was favourite for this event 3 years ago but needs consistency. Likely to be hindered by hard Saturday night.

Shawy - Big Punter. Certainly capable on his day but short of match practice. Place only
