The lack of running around seemed to appeal to Flamingo "Get a Life, Play Outdoors" Trap (Shotgun the year they deigned to play indoors) - they made it all the way to 3rd in '93 (?) with a zone D. It also seemed to be a more popular D last year... Four across the back seems to be fading away - though I guess it's still popular with student teams. Wayne Wondering whether to buy a new pair of indoor shoes - it's about time I used my squash racquet again... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Retter Fluid Druids
