The read
What the record says
45 matches, 20 points and 14 Cup appearances. The numbers like Greensomes best. BetterBalls has been less forgiving.
Best-performing regular partnership in the available record: Pasi Mäkeläinen — 2 points from 2 shared matches. A recurring problem: against Chris Kibbey, the return is 3.5 points from 11 meetings. Longevity itself is part of the profile: this player has been present often enough for different eras of the Cup to overlap.
Entry handicap: 10. Current MF handicap: 15.
