When I said yesterday that the Mob hasn't always done itself justice in APAT National events, I was mostly referring to Alan and I really, as Paulie Two Tumbs hasn't made it to too many of them.
When he does play, he finishes third - usually luck-boxed out of a win by someone sporting appalling facial furniture - and so it was on this occasion too. Paul's blog here for details.
After having walked to Luton from West Oxfordshire for day 2 Paulie manoeuvered his way through the remaining 32 runners only to have the title snatched away from him at the last moment by the Poker Gods who will always side with the player with the most hair - the German female will regret the three hours of waxing induced agony this morning.
The Gods: hairyIronically the eventual winner was actually sat next to me on Day 1 for the five or six hours I was involved in the tournament - I'll be honest I hadn't had him pegged as someone who could win this event as he spent almost all of the time flirting outrageously with Neil Blatchly who appeared a little embarrassed and slightly scared by his advances.
But anyway very well played Paul - let's not allow a mild case of cottaging to distract us from another impressive performance. I had actually predicted a win for Paul in a conversation with the APAT head cheese last week, but when the Gods have made up their mind you're just farting in the wind.

They were lucky. They had no idea who they were messing with. None of that lot could stand the heat of a Pigeons game.
