Round 3 - A Stunning Win for the Superbru Captain

Well, well, what a stunning week for the Sotonians Superbru Captain who humiliates everyone else in the league with a stunning and comprehensive victory. Give that man a :chapeau_jeune: and a Knighthood. 3 close and 2 exact predictions were enough to see @BTripz win by a massive and humiliating .5 pts from @Goatboy and @Dizzyfeet.

Unfortunately bottom of this weeks predictor is @JxgrSaint who managed a paltry 2 close predictions, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, have a :wooden_spoon:

And that stunning victory sees @BTripz ascend to their rightful place at the top of the table. All hail King Bob.

@Cobham-Saint and @lifeintheslowlane retain their places at the bottom of the table after a disappointing round for both of them.

Superbru sits seems to have crashed for the moment so I can’t do an update, don’t forget the next Round of games starts tomorrow so get your predictions in as soon as it’s back.

It’s back just done mine….ignominious failure awaits :roll_eyes:

Round 4 - A Goatty reigns supreme

What a week for @Goatboy, 8 resultes predicted correctly, 4 of them exact gives him a massive 18½ points, 5½ points clear of second placed @Numptyboi.

Have a well deserved :chapeau_jeune: young man.

Bottom of the pile this week is last season’s champion @Rugbysaint, his meagre 3½ points sees him beat off @Cobham-Saint for the :wooden_spoon:

Round 5 - A Shock at the Top!

Well, well, what a surprise we have at the top this week. Either @Cobham-Saint pulled his finger out or he was extremely lucky, personally I think the latter :slight_smile: His predicting this week has earned him 14 points, taking him 1 point clear of @lifeintheslowlane and @SimplySaint.

It also earn him his first :chapeau_jeune: of the season.

Bottom of the pile, with, quite frankly embarrassing, performances are @DellBoy and @BTripz, however Superbru has seen fit to award the :wooden_spoon: to me, shame

How does that affect the leader board, apart from my plummeting down the table to meet @Cobham-Saint head on we see @Dizzyfeet take over at the top from @Goatboy. They both have the same points but Superbru has decided that @Dizzyfeet should be number 1

Haring up behind them comes @JxgrSaint, climbing as many place as I’ve dropped.

@Cobham-Saint remains at the bottom despite his :chapeau_jeune: heroics

So I swerve another week of glory.

Do we still need to make picks or will we get a chance when this weekend is rearranged?
