🎩 Hugh Dunnit Verdict
“Five matches, five sagas. You want drama? The GCFA’s serving it on a silver platter. Some teams showed ice in the veins, others got found out under the sun. Don’t tell me this league isn’t thriving. Folk say size is an issue — but this is about quality, not quantity. I was there, I saw it, I see it every Saturday morning… and trust me, the best (and the worst) is still to come.”
