Tribute to Chris Lester

Today marks the 1st anniversary of Chris's death and I'm sure for many of us, like the deaths of JFK and Princess Di depending on your age, you'll recall where you were when you were learned the incomprehensible news. Just as then what better way to mark the event than with a win. In fact the last 7 days has provided 3 consecutive victories for Real Wood and Real Madras and I for one have loved every minute of them. Real Wood, formerly Real Madras, formerly the Bouncy Clowns has a history of more than 10 years now. We have replaced the bottle blonde with the natural grey (me) and brunette (Les) but have retained the spirit that Chris created. We've introduced a new aptitude for winning having been promoted in the Tuesday league and are currently undefeated this season but hopefully not at all costs. Yes the club has moved on and changed but we'd be fools to not to remember our roots and I hope we can all take a moment to say thanks Chris for the memories and the legacy.
