Another fine wrapped up for Christine and a century too ! So let's not take anything away from John he put a good fight against Christine and gave her a real good run for her money 70 points is a respectable score by no means and in most cases would of bagged you a teapot sadly it is not the case.......ypu can join me for the next recap and to see if Christine can bag her third win in the meantime it is bye for now !
