This was our first encounter with the new KO time limit of quickplay finishes and it was resoundingly unpopular on both sides. Perhaps we'll get used to it, but 35 in an hour and a quarter felt like a sprint compared to our usual.

Anyway, we don't have to worry about that any more this season. Clifton demolished us convincingly in the middle order and go into the semis on tie break.  (JR)
