BANG! And we're off.

34 Drunks have fronted-up in '18. Two Alex's have returned from self-imposed exile but sadly it looks like we've carelessly left an Ando somewhere.

Three Drunks bounced out of the blocks with perfect 9s. Champs is on top with a near perfect score, missing by just one behind. Garth and Lloydy are hot on her heels each just a further 4 points behind. Then a cluster of 8s, a swathe of 7s, a smattering of 6s.
And a 4.

Catfish Coxy's off on one of his Continental jaunts again this year so will have  to do some bulk tipping before heading off (last time he did this he won). This round was pre-departure, so maybe he's just giving us a head-start.

34 Drunks means a Grand Prize of $1k, second prize of $500 and third prize of $250 per the past few years. That leaves a weekly Jackpot of $10 again, and maybe even $50 on the bar.

Welcome back, good luck one and all. May the Drunkest win.
