Cheers, Lloyd! And thanks for keeping the competition going again.

I`d like to thank Saints for helping me this season

And I`d like to thank Madge for continually giving me the required incentive

:-)

Many thanks again Lloyd. Had a very busy and celebratory weekend from

Have a safe and happy close season everyone
