It was a
GRAND finish to a memorable Derby. Under a very
hot sun, the battle continued until four combines remained in the contest. One
by one they fell prey to the crushing blows of the opponents and finally there
was one combine. With metal hitting metal and
screaming fans, it was truly the ending to a perfect day. Congratulations
