L13 Winter 2008 : Week 13 Roundup

Congrats to Richard Hirst – Lucky 13 Winter 2008 champion! Richard came in 8 points clear and now has the 2nd greatest winning score ever to add into the Hall of Fame. A fine win Tricky, I hope your “consortium” are proud of you!

Jon Allin made a late charge and managed to finish a very respectable 2nd winning £205.00 to boot! Long time leader Jason Morris should be happy with his third place finish, Jamie Sellers makes his highest finish for years in 4th and bruv-in-law Danny Ashworth made £100 this season by finishing 5th.

Mark Seels was the third part of the “consortium” to get a Top Ten finish in 6th (they’re trying to take over kids!) and Greg Edwards surely has me to thank for finishing 7th (I gotcha Greggy!) – Louise Briggs finished “Top Girl” in 8th and joins boyf Danny in the Top Ten (happy house!). Jazz Sian adds to his astounding pile of PAS cash in 9th and brand new boys Rob Hathorn & Sean Peers couldn’t be split in 10th so share the cash and the promos (no fighting over the Cage The Elephant CDs boys!)

Well done to all – it was a very high standard this year – long may it continue!

Spot Prizers:
  • 12th – happy nuptials continue for Neil Templeton
  • 17th – looks like missing that week (12) has helped John McSherry
  • 27th – Dennis McDowell decided to leave most of it to Mr 2-0 and it paid off!
  • 31st – my old mucker Dave Crisp will be over the moon x2 cos all he wanted for Christmas was Cup place!
  • 33rd – welcome home from Japan Wayne Connolly you’re not quite a world champion but you’re a winner!
  • 42nd – I’m sure PAS CEO Dave Nicklin will plough his winnings back into our R&D funds?
  • 52nd – some cheer for Spurs fan and original original PASer John Williamson
  • 57th – our very own “security” Howard Thomas recoups!
  • 65th – the “big one” for the “losers”…Mark Fawke will no doubt be treating his internet dates to at least an egg nog this Christmas
  • 72nd – oh the similarities! near the bottom and money to spend – Matt Davies will probably make a better fist of it than Sparky though
Cup 2009:
to qualify for invitation to the PAS Cup 2009 you will have to have finished above Jamie Tofeili – let the taunting of Jon begin!
The Wooden Spoon:
Danielle Fleming, my little niece! Don’t think I’ll forget to hand this over in the New Year – you spanner!
Other Stuff:
All monies will be paid very soon – I will hold back next year’s entry fee unless you want opt out – let me know!
And Another Thing:
The annual PAS Poll is with you – loads of entries sent back – muchos gracias! If you haven’t already, you’ve got a day!

Thanks for taking part this season – a pleasure as always (although winning some money makes it all the sweeter!) – if haven’t made the Cup, please come back in September – I’ll be in touch!

Merry Christmas!

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2008 : Week 12 Result & PAS Poll…

Wizzard:
A very good week to get a good score and even better to actually win it! Jon Allin 42 (5) will happily receive his £20 just in time for his work Secret Santa or will it be for will he spend on the Plymouth Ho? (and does that become Ho Ho Ho at Christmas?)
Bad Santa:
I always offer to give an instant form guide when the missus does her scores on Saturday morning but I get batted back everytime – Michelle Fernandez 9 (0) is that stubborn she’ll continue with her erroneous ways!
Correct Score of the Week:
Fifteen got the eight points at Stoke, thirteen got another eight points at Forest, Martin S got Celtic 1 Hearts 1, Anthony Y & Bev M got the excellent Hull result, Dave N & Louise B got the nine points at Burnley, yours truly/Stephen S/Mark McD got the really obvious 0-0 at Sheff Wed, Mark J B & Louise B got the “Desmond” at Peterborough and Andrew D got the last gasp 2-2 at Charlton – this week’s best correct score though, goes to li’l Frankie Fernandez who nearly claimed back her correct score of the season with Dundee U 2 Rangers 2
Bet of the Week:
We’re now £13.10 down – we had a winner!!! Thanks to Tricky Hirst’s Championship special we clawed back £32.50 – nice one Ricardo. Jonny A, can you get us back in he black?!

Table News:

L13 Winter 2008 : Week 11 Result & PAS Poll…

Harry Boo!:
I think we’ve got our League Champion now…Richard Hirst 34 (4) has landed his second weekly prize of the campaign and created a nice little buffer for himself at the top of the table – surely only a collapse akin to Kelvin Koogan’s Toon can stop him now? Where’s Jazz when you need him eh?!
Eboue!:
I’ll admit it was another shocking week of random scores but to get under 10 points???! Neil Birchall 7 (0) we salute you!
Correct Score of the Week:
Seven got Inverness 1 Dundee U 3, five got Blackburn 1 Liverpool 3, four got Stockport 1 Peterborough 3, Scott A/Anthony L/Richard H got Bristol City 0 Swansea City 0, Michael G/Stephen S/Francesca F got Coventry 2 Nottm Forest 2, Michael G/Bev M/Ben H got Sheff U 2 Burnley, JohnMcS/Danny A got Birmingham 3 Watford 2 and Glyn W got Newcastle 2 Stoke 2. But, this week’s best correct score and now best of the season goes to Matt Worsfold for his thrilling nine pointer, Everton 2 Aston Villa 3. Like taking sweets of a baby eh Matt? Little Frankie is still crying about losing her title!
Bet of the Week:
We’re now £45.60 down – Louise B’s NW flavoured 5 timer went the way of all but one before – come on Tricky! We need a winner!

Remember Mr 2-0 winning £10 the other week? Well Neil m and myself were walking in the Northern Quarter (Neil calls it the “metal shuttered ghetto”, I call it edgy, post modern cool and different)when two discerning gentlemen of the street approached asked, in between swigs of sherry, for 50p. Safe to say Bargain Booze got a £10 hammering as they danced off down the street…bless!

L13 Winter 2008 : Week 10 Roundup

RVP:
There’ll be dancing in the streets of Stalybridge for a second week running as Louise Briggs 48(7) is this week’s winner of the £20 prize. Well done Louise, should make up for the derby defeat eh?!
RIP:
There’ll be dancing in the house of Grey for a second week too as Week 8 winner Lisa will no doubt be doing the Jig of Schadenfreude at the news of Mark Grey 11(0) hitting rock bottom this week. Only adds to the derby defeat eh Marky?!
Correct Score of the Week:
Seventeen(!!) got Reading 3 Coventry 1, eleven got Millwall 3 Aldershot 0, nine got Charlton 0 Southampton 0 (how??!), eight got Middlesbro 0 Newcastle 0, six got Swansea 2 Cardiff 2 and a famous five got Chelsea 1 Arsenal 2.

This week’s best correct score goes to Dave McSherry for his eight pointer Villa 0 Fulham 0
Bet of the Week:
We’re now £40.60 down – Danny A’s Scottish venture crashed & burned at the first hurdle at Tynecastle. We’re officially in trouble (well, if you’ve been following ti like me!) with 3 weeks to go, so we need Louise B to make amends for her other half’s failings…

Table News:

Swings:
Proper bun fight at the top now as Jason M’s seemingly unassailable lead has been sailed in by Richard Hirst, who now tops the pile by 1 correct score. Jon A and Jamie S are doing their level best to hang on to the Top Twos coat tails…
Slide:
Matt Davies remains bottom eight points behind Danielle F and 11 from Mark McD – the rubbish monkeys!
