Meeting:  Breakfast Bowl! Going into today's match the competition stands at 200 for the Whiz and 175 for the Wizards. It was a challanging session ~

But with luck and new brains in the mix the Whiz Kids continued their lead ~ to finish this month's round at 245 to 200 for the Breakfast Wizards! Five months to go! Plenty of time for the Wizards to overtake!
