The guys that I had were pretty serious. They play well. And I came out, you know, as a captain. You know we rounded up each other and we gave each other support and we ensured that we came out on top. And this is a victory that is exciting; exciting to beat your friend’s play and you know, I give him a good licking. It’s great.”
