Sporting a new Eminem T-shirt, Andy Black is looking sharp and not too concerned to have Dave Colclough on his left. He has already worked out that the Polish for two hundred sounds like fifty in English and has made sure that we are all aware of that.

Start of play looks like it is going to be delayed for the same reasons as yesterday. Registration is still taking place. Hopefully it will be less than 10 minutes before it starts.
