Well done VL for daring to post what Bongser had been wondering for the previous fortnight. This party was enjoying Leigh’s longest spell in top spot this season and had sussed that a win at Sheffield would guarantee us another 8 nights of sweet dreams. However a subsequent and dearly hoped for Batley victory at Fev would ensure that, regardless of the latter’s result hosting Newcastle or indeed Leigh’s result at Odsal (hopefully another triumph and one without the grandstand finish we had to endure in the Cup tie) The Cherry & Whites would still bestride The Championship pile on Bongser’s birthday.
One doesn’t wish for much at this age on yet another birthday (general good health for those nearest and dearest, a card or hug from ones daughters, a few beers and then to lie down at the end of it with La Jeunesse), but Batley have made it a promised-to-be special one.
Cheers Bulldogs.
