The turnout was slim this month, but those who were able to make it got the match done and had a great time doing it. We only have two match dates left in 2022, but that doesn't mean that you can't still qualify for our Garand drawing. You only need five entries to qualify, so if you have at least one under your belt, two relays in November and two in December will get you there! Hope to see you at our next match on 19 November.
