CWANG 2016
Report by organiser Drag Sudar
47 of Nottinghamshire’s finest (!?) gathered at the Horse ‘n’ Groom on 18 Aug to battle for the ‘2016 CWANG Champions’ title. The teams this year were Ashfield, Central, Gambit, Nomads and a combined Mansfield/RB team, with guests from Uni and WB.
As always, the event couldn’t take place without the hard work, at relatively short notice, by the other captains, Neil Graham, Steve Foster, Dave Griffiths, Jon Tait and Barry Redburn, and the support of those who turned up to play, so a very big thanks to you all for ensuring we had yet another highly enjoyable evening.
There should be more evenings like this during the year: Over to you, Executive Committee...
Gambit emerged winners on 25 points, with Ashfield (21.5) narrowly beating Mansfield/RB (20.5) to 2nd place. Nomads (15.5) were 4th while Central (13.5) took their customary seats near the bar. Gambit overtake Ashfield in the cumulative points table:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gambit | 3 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 29 |
