Garrick is the Arsene Wenger of the BB scene, always there or there abouts but doesn't actually win anything ;)

Also moans a lot ;0

This could quite quickly descend into "At least I don't insist on Blocking my own Players when mortal pissed" / "At least I only field 11 players on the pitch!" / "Have YOU ever won the Scottish Championship?" ... but

An excellent series run by the irreplaceable "artist formerly known as Pippy". Many thanks.

In all seriousity the Northern British Series was a chance for the Scots to compete in a wider environment and although in 2015 it was a clean sweep for the Geordies 1st, 2nd and 3rd, Scots came 4th and 6th. The fact that it is unfortunate for the Scottish playing community that NBS appears to have been superseded by the Golden Gauntlet doesn't take away from the fact that the GG is an excellent (and very well run) tournament series.

Thanks Graham :) Hopefully NOBTOS will rise again. GGUK will be back for sure.

Some stats….

30 GGUK qualified tournaments last year:
-1 Welsh
-3 Scottish
-26 English (of which 5 could reasonably be described as northern – York, Manchester, Stockport, Hartlepool, Newcastle)

Ochil Bowl will surely feature next year, now it’s a 2-dayer. Looking forward to that.

Are you ready to get the next season up? The first event is this weekend; AWM2 has 28 coaches so will be allowed to award a NAF shield :)
