Reds need to score a try here.

107 – Durban, Well you must stay 3rd then. Well done with your bru.
Phweeeew… this was a good match gentlemen… very entertaining!
Puma, looks like it will be ready for the SWC, but more great projects will be coming on stream in the next few years.
Landers overtake force on the log!
111 – Well if more projects come to Durbs all the better. We need the work there. Not me but plenty do. The new Air Port I believe is looking great. That alone brought in a lot of work for the people, also building that magnificent MM soccer stadium. I have tickets to the Portugal/Brazil game. Really looking forward to going. Not big into football but want to experience the vibe and also see that stadium. For me it looks one of the best that was built for the soccer wc. It really looks awesome when you drive past it.
112 – Turk, Good on Landers. They have really tried this season. Like to see the teams that always sit at the bottom doing well.
Next year going to be a whole lot different.
Gbs, What time is the semi on next week? Both semi finals? Also the final what time? See the fixture on Supersport but not the time.
Okay think everyone has gone to lunch. Catch up later.
Cheers all.
