Tipsters Competition Round 6 Results

[Lone Shark]

Right, lots of fund and games compiling this after this weekend's list, but I think I'm reasonably on the ball with this. The following is the league table, with Muck Savage joining the head of the pile after a top score of 11 points, almost matching D Corner Flag who had 9. Average score this week was between six and seven, so if you got seven or higher you generally made up ground.

32 As Such Ger

Now for the knockouts - due to my own ineptitude in forgetting to include a tie breaker, there will have to be playoffs this week. The following are safely through in each competition:

Paddy McCormack Cup: Muck Savage, D Corner Flag, Rocket 57, Hocker, Sydthebeat.
Daithi Regan Cup: Redser, Corner Back, TheManFromFerbane, Treasurer.

There are also 12 tipsters who must post this week to round off the final places - 3 McCormack Cup slots and 4 Regan Cup berths. They are:

Paddy McCormack Cup: Swiftpost, Killer B, Lovely Hurling, The Untouchable, Rossier.
Daithi Regan Cup: Fullback, Beirut, Mighty Pair O'Hands, As Such Ger, DD, Aweflee, Crossbar.

I'll post up this week's tips now.

Feeling your pain man. I'm right there with you. My speculative draw punt on Clara va Rynaghs cost me a knockout spot since I would have probably gone for Clara out of the two.

After losing in the final of the Paddy McCormack Cup in 2006 and the Daithi Regan Cup in 2007 TheManFromFerbane supporters will be hoping that 2008 will finally be their year!

[Rynaghs Biffo]

After winning the first two McCormack Cups in a row, I feel like one of the lonf forgotten FA Cup winning teams from the late 1800's!!

I think its time for new management!!!
