It was a hard match to mark - given the high quality. I read them all once and then read them again individually - marking them on the second reading. I had no idea it was so close until after I added up the scores.

Congratulations to both sides. Unfortunately, with every winning team, there has be a defeated team.

 

[The Backpacker]

Thanks for the game Panthers. You're a great bunch to play and it could have gone either way.

Thanks willow. I'm not sure how to foward RG and PP but will hand over Prisillas password forthwith.

 

[Paul-The-Cowboy]

Sorry about the paragraphs Willow, I'll put the breaks in next time
Thanks for the game Roosters, it was a great game and a pleasure to take part in. Good luck with the rest of the season.

No worries mate. Its just a case of what is easy on the eyes. I can assure you that it didnt take anything away from your excellent article.

 

[Paul-The-Cowboy]

Cheers mate. I can see now that it's pretty hard to read like that. Thanks for the advice.

 

[Big Mick]

Damn that was close.

I wish maelgwnau would have played, then we may have won. But that doesn't matter, i think the score was a reflection of the game.

Well done to all the guys who played, well done to morticia and theirry for playing so well.

I'm sorry to my boys for not putting a quality article in, i'll do better next time. But yeah great going guys, hopefully when finals come around we will have a top team to go with.

good luck to the roosters for their game against Brisbane we will now go and prepare for Newtown.
