"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Many hearty congrats Exile.. Is there hope for Mr Hertryk?

In honour of my old school finally winning the Redmond Cup outright for the first time since 1990, mine is changed to an image of yours truly as a 16 year old in Singapore on our pre-season tour in 1990. Scotch went on to a second season undefeated that year.
Bandaid covering five stitches from the previous match three days before when we played an international college, where a fully bearded and turbaned Sheikh type (they were allegedly Under 20) "tackled" my mouth with his forearm while I took a mark (you know, back when you had to have two feet squarely on the ground...).
Am the #8 in the group shot.

Back to 2016, huge congrats to the lads, I understand it was a very close comp to the final round.
To go undefeated as well is no small effort.
Go Scotch!!!

I actually thought that was a moustache and I'm thinking not a bad moustache for a 16 year old!
At that stage the five stitches probably was the sum total of my tache![]()
