In the weekly competition, it's a big thumbs up for GlensGirl and Alan Nugent who each scored an impressive 12 from the 13 games played, and we had a whole bunch of folk one more behind.

In the West 1 competition, there are five entrants who scored an even more impressive 6 from 6.

A quick mention for BigHam - the only one to call a draw in the EK v Greenock game.  Greenock scored a try with the last play of the game, to close the gap to two points, but the conversion from the 5 metre line drifted wide on the wind, so it was only a matter of inches (well probably feet) from an impressive start to your Predictor Challenge.

In the overall competition we have a change at the top of the leaderboard.  A disappointing week for Magoo sees him drop from first to third, with Keith Bradley swapping places having scored 11 from 13 this week.  Despite no entry this week, G remains in second.  Mark Ellison also scored an 11 from 13 which was gives a one place move to fourth.

The overall success rate from the start of the Challenge is at 66% (3,200 correct from 4,838 predictions).

We include a random set of results each week to give us a bit of perspective on our predicting skills - this week, the Random Predictor scored 10 from 13, so at 77% it was higher than this weeks combined average, whilst overall it's running at 55.7%.

We've had a total of 145 entries over the duration of the Challenge.  With about 19% of us averaging lower than the Random Predictor, it's probably advisable for these folks not to go to the bookies too often.
