A warning to tomorrow's oppo and a sign of who might do the damage. Snapped in Tassie.

Siddo talk of undefeated season sent me scurrying to Beamers shoebox to find this dispatch to America evidencing last talk of this nature, what, 8 yrs ago precisely! (Click on it if you can't read it. You get the hang by now, no?)
Talk of winning every game then from Gordy if memory serves me right. P'raps it not so careless if season of '97 anything to go by...keep an eye on '97 archives soon to be added for similar shoebox correspondence for old season news...  

Well, just trying out the technology. Well done all at the weekend a tremendous victory. Could this be the elusive undefeated season? See you all at nets
