Max Black Tournament Winners
Finally our minstrel-in-residence, dj frenic's stranglehold on the championship has been blown aside, but it was a close fought Christmas Day evening 2007. True to form dj frenic smashed through the first round of the tournament to bear away the plate, but in the battle for the Christmas 2007 Trophy he fought hard against the challenge set up by new-comer Hannah. She retired in third place after a valiant fight leaving dj frenic and Billy heads up. After a desparately hard fought contest, Billy emerged a triumphant but narrow winner.
Watch this space for the outcome of this year's Easter tournament - and best of luck to our lyrical minstrel (although it's quite a relief to see someone else's photograph up here for a change - Ed).
