Happy Monday, everyone. I hope you're still buzzing after that win — I know I still am — and with a bit of luck, it'll carry us right on through to the next one. We had a bit of a rough-and-tumble few matches there — two losses, a draw, a…
On occasion, a win is just a win. You don't get the emotional thrill of the three points, of victory, of success. Thankfully, last night was a bit of a different case. Against a side desperate for points and for anything resembling…
