Dixons,
This round caused me a problem on which I would like a ruling, but I'll send that under a separate heading
Tim Lodge ran away with 9 unnatural points for #11 (the Scottish brawl) and is our next dealer. Dave Cunningham with 5 points for
#9 (the Scottish twigs) is the real winner. #15 was the actual word and netted a D3
Take it away Tim
