7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Both of them Maclyn Biokpo Jenewari's — 9.12
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.12, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Defences have started doubling up on Zadok Yohanna
20 goals and a season average of 7.53 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.
