yes and when Lancashire and Yorkshire play each other either
at Soccer ot Cricket...they fight the wars of the Roses fromthe 15th century each time allover again. Australia had a team in the cup too....and New Zealand. We did OK. ...but my fave code is Australian football.....family tradition...three generations of plauers and all that ...and it is a great game.

Well, close to...... Anyway, my gray matter is soaked!!!!!!
