At the same time, I was chatting to Billy Bland who told me he was waiting to see Rob come through. Billy chatted to me as though he was an old mate. I waited and saw Rob fly though grabbing only a small cup of water. Rob put in an awesome display that boggles the mind of a mortal. But seeing the two ends of the BG spectrum reaffirmed what a wonderful club this is. Billy, Rob and Les - all rightful owners of the BG crown in their own way. (p.s. Les powered in at 23hrs 26 mins - not bad for a 47 year old self-confessed Endomorph).
