We would have won if it hadn't been for those meddling kids

As others have said, well done getting so farI'm out in the last 32 - I lost to Luca Fredella 3-2 after being up 2-0...
I think Josh beat Will so he is through to the last 16

On the littler ones, last year at the UK Open, I found myself standing next to Andy Foster and asked how you get to be such a good player. He said, “I started playing when I was two”. Kids who get into pinball after starting on small stools at 2/3 years of age can be absolutely terrifying. They have lightning fast reaction times, an encyclopaedic knowledge of rules, and hours to practice in the school holidays that non-retired adults simply don’t have. To give one example, my older son (age 7), one day over the summer, played our AFM for five hours straight!!
Short version, no shame in being beaten by teens. They’ve likely been practicing for nearly twenty years already!
Who won the adults comp ?

Have realised how misinformed my earlier message was, with no stream to follow in the endGood luck to all the uk team will try and follow on the stream as much as possible
Well done to all the uk representatives from last weekend, sounded like despite the organisation you all played well and enjoyed yourselves.
Hopefully it got you all game ready for the UK open this weekend!
