It’s back to reality as Cats finish job

No late heroics six days on from the comeback that convulsed a nation.

There was a very late goal alright but it was scored by a man in stripes, not a man in maroon, and at that stage nothing that happened on the field or the scoreboard was going to affect the outcome.

In an attempt to get rid of that damn stone in his shoe, Brian Cody had opted for sensible, conservative footwear. It worked. There was no high heel to snap under pressure in the last five minutes this time around.
