Felton has challenged Barry to row him again any day this week for the stake money, which Felton considers is legally his. Barry expresses himself as disappointed and disgusted at the way Felton had taken his defeat, and said: "When Felton beat mc on the Thames I said to him, 'Good luck, Alf, old pal.'
