Well done Daphne.

Great way to start the close season.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

On behalf of my mother Daphne, thank you for your kind messages of support, and I will pass them all on to her.
Like all of us, she has been so miffed by this waste of a season. However, if Jason’s generosity to her is anything to go by, we will be back stronger and fitter....and with something to smile about.

I hope we can get away from calling anything good that the club does a "PR move". I know its not your intention but it makes it sound cynical like it was only done to make JS look good. Maybe Jason was just being nice.

Great story by the way, well done Daphne!
