He told me he was considering it when I asked him last week, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned up.

Default rookies cup

It was a great event. Did I imagine it or was there a record number of girls.

Also it was great to see the overall winners for the Rookies Cup and Queens Cups for 2009 announced.

Remember the rookies cup is played on the second Sunday of the month all twelve months of the year.
