Merit

I am unable to attend this weekend’s rugby union match in which the Gloucester club of Gloucester hosts that London Wasps outfit. It is the last chance to vote for Player of the Season on Saturday and I’ve asked a comrade to cast my slip by proxy. For the first time in the 'ole of 'istory, I have chosen the same footballer for both the Young Player and Player of the Season awards. The thoroughbred Morgan has impressed from the very first minute of the season with his bravery, reliability under the high ball and elegant running style. I salute him as I seek to elect him twice. Olivier Azam’s belligerent grunting for the cause tempted me as did the behemoth Delve for his recent run of tremendous form at the base o’ the scrum.
