Hesi Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks Jack to you and your team for today's match, close all the way, till the last few races, bugger Warming up to it nicely Reapers, can't peak too soon in these comps, nice scoring all round. Thanks again PJ for the effort you put in, good to have an old friend back, burbling on lol Just a note, Kelly's Heroes have to hope The Desperados have a good win against the Dream Team next week, or they will not be able to play their triple joker in the last round. Either that or The Desperados can take a risk and not play their triple joker against The Dream Team and hope Kelly's Heroes have a good win against the Coyotes next week, effectively nullifying KH's triple joker 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly was in the Spring 'Chiefs' team with us Jack . along with Tas and Robert. The Chiefs led for a big chunk of it but think we got rolled very late on. so many Comps it's hard to keep track.😊 But thanks PJ (and all the players too) who make the racing that more enjoyable with a little picking challenge each week. 😊 . and may the Reapers have a quiet one this week too lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
