And look what happened:

Brendan equaled the World Junior boys record.

The Aust' Team Score equaled the World Record 2082 combined (and a new one has now been set by the USA)

The Aust' team is the Gold Medal match at the World Cup against the USA.

Timmsy is in the Gold Medal Match against Dave Cousins and Pat is the Bronze medal Match against Grimwood from the UK

And we will know the results in a few hours - could this be a late night/early morning.

And none of this has anything to do with shelfs - but a lot to do with getting everything right.

Hey Grahame, Pretty exciting stuff considering the Elite programme has only been running for such a short period. Makes one proud. :D
