Our analysis of the match 22 named to face the Reds paints a somewhat different picture. [...]

Congratulations to the ultimate winners! WP you deserve this trophy and it must be so much sweeter having waited for it for 11 years. We hope that you’ll have to wait 11 more for another trophy. (-; [...]
