Well, it's been a very long time coming, but finally the Muffins get to play again and the long Christmas lay-off seems to have done a couple of Muffins a power of good as they both score in the high thirties.

There's no Brett, so his retirement seems to be permanent, no Cutie-Cutie and no DJ who comes down with a migraine just before kick off; the root cause probably being the stress and pressure that comes with the match secretary's role. Nonethless Bones makes a welcome entrance and Neil, aka Stan Stennett, also makes a maiden appearance.

Fat-Boy's tossing has not improved such that a 6-1 split is finally resolved in favour of Turbo, Bones and Stan leading off. There's confusion re handicaps so that all scoring can only be regarded as provisional and the computer has arrived at a team result somewhat different from the money that changed hands in the bar
