Let's face it, the bad luck continued with another defeat in Game 9, resulting in an unimpressive 7-3 scoreline. But now it's 2015 - a new year and a new hope. Fresh from some telly work, that McDonald's advert, and a couple of unofficial practice games under his belt, surely now is the time for Rich to take the backgammon by the horns and take back(gammon) control of this sorry mess. Put your (washed) hands together, and let's play Backgammon! (On the toilet). Sorry about the extract fan and mobile phone noise.
