I can't see people's logic.<br />There are 3 teams here and kingborough potentially are the 4th who more often then not should give each other a good game. That's nearly half our competition. I'd say that's a good ratio for any league in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-65705633520783893712022-05-27T11:43:35.340+10:002022-05-27T11:43:35.340+10:00You used to have to go to work on a Saturday becau...You used to have to go to work on a Saturday because that was a huge part of making up a great weekly pay , now you just have to turn up for 90 minutes in a bottom 3 club and get even more for No Productivity!
