Hello all Fantasy Players,
Round 1 has wrapped up and Vaughn Quinlan has come out kicking! Congrats Vaughn on being the first winner. His team was ably helped out with strong weekend performances by Rob “I-don’t-fit-a-32” Richards, Chris “doesn’t-need-to-bowl-at-training-to-pick-up-5fas” Quelch and Haydn “loves-a-70” Slodecki.
With a late entry by human bicep Jacob Johnson, we have 32 players this year. That means that there will be a $10 weekly prize, as well as end of season prizes of $150, $100 & $50 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. I will also be giving a wooden spoon from my kitchen (that was until recently intended for the bin) to the brave soul who gave it a crack, but even still finished the season in last place.
