Another fantastic performance from Ronan the winning margin of 133 points equalled Elliott Mellor's record margin from Episode 7080, which also had exactly the same final scoreline. You have to feel sorry for Aaron who was clearly nervous and couldn't get going making this game rather one-sided, join me again for the installment of Ronan the Wonderkid......in the meantime it's bye for now !
