in round 21 you will be going down to gisborne for the second time this season
yes, we lost our first four of the season but now we are an indominitable force that will roll over gisborne and your ego will be left in smouldering rubble.
I think you'll all be finding that Hawthorne will be knocking kensington out of the finals.
