Morale victory for Kenny Read and Tom Addis after a gutsy move north showing the way to go.

I love Ken's optimism and also his bets. This time the bets were good despite all the bad luck. Congrats Puma

I hope Ian Walker didn't forget that he has to buy Kenny and the boys the first round of drinks... ;)
