Sorry, these are getting worse! Liverpool fans must be sick of hearing it (so it must be mentioned again!) but surely none of them can ever have seen a performance as bad as the one at Wigan? Rafa seems to have invented the crab formation...it only goes sideways.
Not so Jason Nicholas whose decent score this week has seen him extend his lead at the top from Steve Johnston to 77 pts, and with 9 weeks of the season to go has to be a very slim odds on shout for the title. But there are plenty behind him waiting to pounce and this week Hailey Ackrill continued to close. Well done weekly winner Brian Dixon. 200 pts from 8 games is a pretty good scoring.
This was another cup week. The results of the 32 ties are published in the link to the right and we now know who has won the first of the prizes on offer in the cup this season - A Nivea For Men Energy Skincare gift pack! these 32 include last year's league winner Duncan Castle, former champ and cup winner Gary Martin but NO women! Hard luck ladies - I can't blame you bearing in mind the prize! Amazingly Steve West drew his game for the second successive round, but the countback rule that helped him last time worked the other this time, as Steve Redrup got more highest "correct scores" I'll be contacting the winners asap for your addresses. Those of you who progress beyond the 5th round (which will be played in week 30 that you should have all sent back by now!) all win a case of Moretti lager..what more incentive can a man need than beer! Atb, Ciro
