Phew ! ...we got there ! Arrived home late to our good news that we'd hung on.
What a great match it was, befitting a Grand Final. The result may show 4-1, but it sure didn't feel like that through the course of the day with most matches teetering on a knifes-edge throughout.
What a fine bunch of fellas the Hurricanes are ...Ian, Bryn, Globe, Steve and Reilly ....top selectors but more than that really entered into the spirit of the event and to be honest they won it everywhere but on the line in this comp. Good fortune favoured us today, I know that more than most, 'cos in R1 Ian was a lip away from obliterating me with a 30-1 longshot. It's only a fortnight ago that the 'Canes absolutely wiped us off the map, so we knew how good they were, thank goodness for a second life. Special congrats to you Globe for being the top selector in the comp ! Massive !
Well done of course to my team-mates Richie, Rob, Matt, Gary ...massive contributions from you all right through the comp, and you really delivered when it most counted. Strong under pressure. Personally I'm thrilled to finally win one of these great PJ comps, I've been in them from the outset having in an earlier life been Styxmyfavourite of the Butcher Boys and the Turbos, was runner-up a few times, but today tops all that !
Most of all thanks to PJ for the hour-upon-hour of great fun and excitement that his comps give us, you're absolutely the best, PJ. The best-run comps I've ever known.
Cheers all ! Thanks for the fun. See you all next comp.
