Good Merlin. It's been a while since I've enjoyed myself so much at a match. I can't say I wouldn't have enjoyed seeing Montrose knocked off their pedestal even more, for novelty if nothing else, but what a battle of wills regardless, and a thoroughly earned victory.

Congratulations to young Mr. Wood on making it through in one piece, kudos to Mr. Draganov on your extreme versatility, and I hope Mr. Maddock's recovery goes quickly and smoothly. They'll be needing you for the playoffs, as well as for the Neep.

Thank you for showing us what a contest actually looks like. I think there were a few teams that needed the reminder.

Desai managed to elude me, but I was able to pick Lazarus' brain a bit before we all got distracted. Might be worth following up with later. He's very concerned by the Banchory business, as well he might be.

On the subject of commissioners, while I still think it unlikely Ransom will be as shameless as the Macmillans, there's some evidence he'd consider pulling from the Portree Parkinson's side of the family. But those hints may actually relate to the import himself. Even you must admit that Pride are endlessly chaotic these days, which doesn't appeal to all, and even with Ives as coach Wigtown's not too soft for a retributive steal. Of course, that would involve cutting or demoting my niece, which would be very foolish indeed.

A better option would be one of Wigtown's staff. Admin most likely but I've put together a list of possibilities which I'll give you tomorrow. Included are some Parkin cousins of varying closeness, detailed on the list of course. More information available if desired. Should be an easy sell.

Did you hear about Wood Sr. holding court in the stands? Quite entertaining, but potentially useful.
