Did a bet on tonights games. Part, Welding, LLoyd, Scholten and Mardle all to win. Cruel odds (only 7/2) but all should win, and it gives me a bit more interest watching.

Last time I back hot favourites in this format. Very short games...great chances for outsiders.. Kirby nearly shocked LLoyd. Great tv.
