That has to rate as one of the best finishes you will ever see. (Personally, I thought Van Persie's was better - David.) I don't know about you, but isn't it time players who celebrate by putting their hands to their ears to wind up fans are booked, instead of those that just take off their shirts? Anyway, that draw (aided by a ridiculously harsh red card) helped ensure another week of wildly contrasting fortunes here, as once again none of the so-called big teams won (unless you count Aston Villa's fluke win at Upton Park). Well done to Paul Woods, whose score of 183 was good enough to take the £50, but I was still pretty shocked to see a score as low as -87 from Paul Bayly! All the stats follow & they will show that, despite a tiny minus score, Duncan Castle will go into Xmas as our leader, but 8 year old Adam Lande will be hot on his heals on Boxing Day! Once again, enjoy the festivities! Cheers, Ciro
