Fair do's, the Wigtownshire v Oban Lorne game was always going to be close, so little surprise that this one might not have gone our way, but for the others, we were well off the mark - wins for Ardrossan, Lenzie, Clydebank and Lomond/ Helensburgh just weren't on the cards (well Predictor wise anyway).

The end result is an average across our 48 entrants of only 53%, which at least was better than the PNOdd Index of 50%.

But some are more adept at this game than others, with Birney and G scoring a rather impressive 80% with another 8 entrants scoring 7 from 10. For Birney, this is their second week running holding the top spot in the weekly Challenge.
