    Hi all 

    Hope someone can help.  The £220 game says it starts at 2pm on 11th May - and is a 2 day event??  I've never followed these long games so apologies for the daftness of this question - but does it finish at a certain time on the Sat night/Sun morning and then restart Sunday afternoon?  

    Anyone have any idea as to approx time on Sunday the games will finish?
