[raymo61]

First of all big congrats to Greenasgrass for top scoring on the day with 88 pts!!

Then kudos to Corkallstar (76 pts) Gladiateur (60pts) and Mrsraymo (60pts) for all scoring splendidly on the day too

Now to the important stuff LOL Triptych clings on to the lead but is casting worried looks over her shoulder as the pack closes. Silent Assassins narrows the gap to just 14 pts when it was 50 pts overnight and Dessie moves menacingly into third place. there are plenty within touching distance of the lead now it is definitely all to play for on the last day so well done Triptych SilentAssassins and Dessie73 for getting on the podium but it aint over until the fat lady sings. Seven more big races tomorrow so get studying folks and if you have one left don’t forget your Wellington.

Any problems with your scores just let me know and I will check it for you.

Finally the cake race is pretty close now so am going to be studying seriously tonight

[Cork All Star]

Blimey, I knew I did OK today but I didn’t expect to be that high up the table!

I might have to put some more thought into Friday’s selections now. It looks like the most difficult day of the lot.

[Red Rum 77]

Not such a good day competition wise today, Jac but yer still leading coming into the final day. Can you cling on.

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.

[MRSRAYMO]

Wow – what a nail biter that was, wondering what would happen to the top scores!

Many congratulations to Jac (Triptych) for hanging on to that all important 1st place!
Very well done to Silent Assassins for another consistent day of scoring and for keeping your 2nd place position
Finally, well done to Dessie73 for another solid score on day 3, taking you up onto the podium in 3rd place for the first time during this competition.

Special well done to Greenasgrass for an amazing top score today which has zoomed you up the leader board.

It is still all to play for, especially for those who have yet to use their “Wellingtons” (mind you, when I look out of the window right now, I think Raymo and I should have saved our “Wellingtons” for wearing on our dog walk! ) Just for clarity the following people still have a “Wellington” to play:
