The Jackpot didn’t go off, so there will be a bigger pool next week, also good to see mainly close scores over all games, so Ted did a good job of selecting this week and he also did a good job selecting the team for the Rinaudo Shield at the end of the month. For which there will be practice games on the next two Saturdays so we hope this will be well supported or Ted may decide to wield the axe.
