A most unfortunate accident occurred in the 'Old Guns' v 'New Guns' clash between two college staff teams. In the first game Chris Petroff tripped near the front wall (not pushed by Suzanne Trask because he got in the lead) and ended up fracturing his arm in three places. Everyone is hopeful that Chris makes a speedy recovery.
