And we're off.
35 Drunks took up their spots to commence the tussle for the world's most sought-after sporting trophy. The PunchDrunk Chalice. The Cup of Dreams. Ye Aulde Mugge.
This year we've got 2, count them two, brand new Drunk challengers... the already slightly introduced Andy "Logger" Lloyd, and also the as yet un-introduced, but statuesque Garth Oriander. Welcome chaps, but don't expect to get things your own way. There is a long list of Drunks who have been trying for decades to get their name scratched into the cup's mottled silver-plate surface, not to mention a shorter list who have been there before, but want more.
A quick scan of the talent following an opening round of close encounters shows, the possibly very aptly named, Leah Champion sitting out in front with a 7, just a nasal hair to the good of that Danish bloke who's very rapidly trading his love of the round ball for a deserved fascination with our beautifully out of whack elliptical kangaroo-skin.
Last year's champion, Franco, is sitting second last and the new boys 11th and 12th. If you click on the table above it'll get real big so you can actually read it.
