‘Hey, Brendan, are you working? You’re just standing around, doing nothing. Probably done more than you. Are you ready to lose again?’ Reece joked. 

 

The comments only caused giggles from Brendan, who cried out, ‘Oh-ho-ho!’ in friendly rivalry.  

Brendan explained, ‘It’s difficult going head-to-head against Reece, my best friend in the competition. But there is a big fire in me to beat him today. Otherwise, I’ll never hear the end of it.’
