Another satisfying game from our champion Megel who can take a well earned rest as he will be the carry over champion and hopefully the first octo-champ for series 93 that starts on the 5th January which is my birthday, let's not take anything away from Louise she gave as good as she got sadly it wasn't enough to match Megel, you can join me for the first of our quarter finals that takes place tomorrow.........in the meantime it is bye for now
