A bit premature to write me off. (I contacted admins and have retained control).
Not sure that's a good thing!!
But we got off to a 'buttock clenching' first win.
Thanks for your contact Abcat, I would have been in touch if things had gone differently.

As it stands after this morning's games:

P................................ W..........L..........Pct..........PF..........PA
1. Serbia.................... 1..........1..........0.500..........84..........72
2. Australia................. 1..........1..........0.500..........66..........63
3. United Kingdom..... 1..........1..........0.500..........83..........87
4. Netherlands........... 1..........1..........0.500..........66..........77


With everyone on 1-1 records, PD doesn't matter at this stage as the winner of each of the 2 games tomorrow progresses, meaning that only one out of the UK and Australia can progress and either Serbia or the Netherlands will join them in the final stages...
