Challenge Cup round 3

Central beat Norths convincingly, despite losing TWF member James Brown, playing under an assumed name, for an indiscretion, and South won the tournament by beating Easts 38 to 24, going through undefeated.

I'll give you all a tip. The club that goes through the season with the most talented Fijians will win the HBS competition.

I also noted an exceptional new fullback who will have an impact for whatever club he plays for.

More good news. I also saw the most capable referee who ever blew a whistle in WA control the South- East game. I am told he is a Super 14 ref who is relocating here. What a pleasure to see a game played where you don't notice the ref, and where every decision he makes is universally respected.

If myname was Trevor I'd be worried, very worried. Or I'd retire.
