But the difference between the
Owls under the management of

the past two seasons, lies in the fact
that this year they don't curl over
and play dead when they have an
off night, but keep hustling until
the end of the game.
And it is this fighting spirit, in
my book, that is keeping the Owls
in the first division, despite the fact
that there are only two regulars

as l have said before, if the Owls
can develop a little more consistent
