What a way to end the season, with the best round of tipping we had for the year – as a group, we tipped 51 correct out of a possible total of 64. Leanne, Colin, Gill and Bryan won the round with 7 each. The final totals were:

115 Bryan

110 Colin

108 Leanne

106 Rowey

104 Shane

100 Gill, Paul

73 Debbie

Thank you to everyone who played this year, and I hope you all play again next year! And one more thing…

GO PIES!!!!!!!!!

This is it – the last round of the year!  Rowey won the round with 5; it was another ordinary round for us all, and this week looks to be a bit tricky too.  It looks like Bryan has won, but the race for second spot is on.

It looks like it’s all over bar the shouting this year for many of us, who have no hope in hell of winning now.  Oh well, always next year.

Bryan won this round with 7.  The leaderboard:

86  Rowey

85  Shane

Argh!  Horrible, horrible round. For me anyway.  I guess that’s what you get when you try to tip differently to the people in front of you in order to hopefully catch them.

Anyway, Rowey won the round with 7.  The ladder now looks like this:

89  Bryan

88  Leanne

85  Colin

81  Shane, Rowey

80  Paul
