It’s tightening up at the rear of the chasing field with only 4pts from 16th to 9th. That’s no consolation for the one legged horse at the back who is a further 3 away in 17th.

Scores after question 18:
With just 2 categories to go ShaneU looks home and hosed. Surely, he can’t balls it up now. Zaph looks good for the runners up spot but 3rd on the podium is all up in the air.

Dave might be thanking Paddy Barnes for taking him out of the wooden spoon race, but he might get sucked back in. lorcan needs a miracle.

b]Scores after question 19:[/b]
With one round left, ShaneU has a commanding lead. At this stage he’s about to lap lorcan but there could be 6 still involved in the bronze medal hunt.

lorcans 3 pointer on red and daves zero for green means the spoon hasn’t got a confirmed home yet either.

FINAL TABLE
As expected from a long way out ShaneU holds on for the win despite a little scare from a 2 footed late lunge by Roy Keane. Zaph has a very creditable 2nd and Aaron rather fittingly comes 3rd!



Lorcan takes the sporty spoon off but it was a close run thing too with only 1 point denying dave and leg end a prize.

Excellent game and reveal Wichy, thanks for running it. And congratulations Shane, that was a convincing victory. Delighted with second, Heeps are normally a disaster for me.
