Can I start by thanking all for patience and perseverance and thank from the bottom of my heart all who jumped in to plug the many gaps as they appeared, I felt like a little Dutch boy with multiple dykes to preserve!!!!

It is nigh on impossible for me to comment much due to excessive yahoo exuberance in booting little old me. And some of you thought you had it bad!!!!!

End of round one all was tied at 5-5. Round 2 was eventually aborted and I unilaterally called the score 10-10, well it seemed fair to me!! When round 3 finally got going you were left with a partially bald director!! As the dust finally cleared the cats were seen dancing jubilantly once more with the final score of 24-16.

I will list the teams as they registered then a combination of seen and subs as these were changing too quickly for me to follow, if I miss anyone apologies but I was having a bad night! Thx again for bearing with me and Yahoo!

See you all soon I hope
