Oh my, oh my ,oh my, oh my, oh my! Felicitations to Oldham but, without wishing to take any of the sheen off their glory, could 'Fax not raise a team tonight. None of the Knights of the Round Table saw that storm blowing in. Where's Michael Feesh when he's needed. Well, speaking of Blowers (chalk and cheese interview on the Mike Sweeney show yestermorn) we'll borrow his words as that match "didn't bother the scorers".
The Fev match tonight wouldn't have done either (as all posters nailed the victor - please, ladies and gentlemen, spare my blushes) save that westleighjim correctly predicted the next draw for them. He shall have points as indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed, inDEED, shall Atomic, Vancouver Leyther (late but great) and Wanderer who also (elsewhere) pulled out a plum after sticking in their thumb (that's enough, please!)
All of which brings us to the Eton Mess of the scores.
This week's runaway winner with 36 points (add on the WWB OF 25 = 61) is The Publican and that solid smash over the grandstand takes him to his century. In vino veritas. Two other new ton ups this round (we revere Centurions in this league of gentlemen - even if one of them is a wolf in sheep's clothing) in Atomic & Wanderer. Raise your bats, sirrahs, thrice times three.
So we now have a hunting pack for the old stag, Darth, who with Cokey and thine host scored least of those of this week's witting entrants (more of that later
)
1. Charlie Caroli - 128
2. The Publican - 106
3. Wanderer - 105
4. Atomic - 103
Into the nervous nineties and with Leyther playing tortoise and hare again:
5. Bongser - 95
6. Leyther X111 - 94
Into the Peleton (though they've all seen that a week's a long time in ballpredicts:
7. Zulu01 - 76
8. Vancouver Leyther - 72
9. westleighjim - 61
10. Cokey - 56
11. Jack Diggle - 49
12. SaBadSel - 16
Propping up the pile with a late entry this week, after Leigh's win (so it wouldn't have counted anyway), with an incorrect draw prediction (C&Ws to face Wire) and on the wrong thread it's (unlucky)
13. Uncle Monty Burns - 0000
New puntables out tomorrow. Heads up, ladies, Friday start.
So from the Pools Panel and Bongser it's goodnight.
Goodnight.
