A low scoring week due to some pretty random results and too many zeros to mention.....you know who you are! But three points was the highest score and this went to stig 231, the predictor who has managed to finish in 1st place for the last two years. This amazingly pulled Stig level with HK in an incredible final try (and plaudits should be given to Stig for his sustained success over the last three years in the prediction league), but our long-term leader managed to hang on to the top spot by his fingernails (thanks to Colchester) from this most persistent of challengers. The single point HK gained this week is enough to claim first place, so MANY CONGRATULATIONS to our new champion: HK Saddler!!!
Stig finished a clear 2nd - so no disgrace as he finally surrenders his crown, JJ's valiant effort finally faltered, but 3rd place is no mean feat - maybe next year? KC's creditable 4th is also worthy of mention thanks to a late charge - not like him! :wink: Canadian's challenge was consumed but he remains ahead of the chasing pack: Whitti Steve (6th) and Maverick, 4 Oaks and Saigon together on 7th one point behind. We finally know who will be paying for the curry! Talking of which - Exile, Fray Bentos and Duke fell away in the closing rounds - as they looked on for higher finishes at one point (it's a marathon, not a sprint). :wink: Asps finished strongly for a decent 11th, but a special mention for Manchester, who started badly, tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better, but apart from that: excellent! (3-2) :wink:
Welsh won the battle of the 2nd table with comfort in the end and for everyone else - better luck next year! :wink:
There are three tables showing predictors in their final placings (3 in joint 7th, 2 in 12th and 3 in 24th), so take your pick of which one accomodates you in the highest position, or just use the first one, as that's the best :wink:
