• FOOTBALL
Just before their trip to Phuket for the International 7’s tournament the westerners gave two local teams a whipping. They beat the Kad Churng Doi team 10-2, after dominating most of the game. The following week they played the Chiang Mai FC Supporters Club team. The young Thais went 2-0 in what seemed like five minutes, though with loads of goals from Arek and Swiss Chris the Farangutans won an easy game 9-2. Wish them luck in Phuket.

• GOLF
Tony Guardino won the November ‘Little Man’ by two strokes on the back of good putting. Three birdies for the round, two of which were in the over 12 foot range, negated two triples and a double, not to mention a penalty stroke earned on the 17th when Tony’s ball moved after he addressed a virtual tap in. Out in 42, home in 43, the gross of 85 good enough to pad the first prize money by taking the low gross in the ‘B’ flight.
