You picked France to win the final and you picked Argentina to lose the final.

Null points for you, as you got nothing correct.

Plus, you finished 24 points back...in the Grand National you would have pulled up a while back.  Reading the entrants names always has me thinking I'm commentating on the Grand National.

That's it, I'm not playing  no more!

..........What do you mean  the competition's finished  ?! 

[seafoid]

Great spreadsheet work. GRMA

[Aristo 60]

Yes great work mod 5 and thanks. Disappointed not to have made it into the chasing pack in the end.

[Armagh18]

Thanks Mod5, well run competition as always and look forward to the next. Well done tonto, don't spend your winnings all at once.

[tonto1888]

Cheers guys. Cheers mod5 for organising and running. Brilliant craic. Let's hope this is a good omen for next season

[Blowitupref]

Thanks for the time and effort mod5 and well done toto1888. As for myself 99 points a decent total as i was one of the few that correctly predicted the final pairing and winner.

[Milltown Row2]

Well done to tonto and mod5... had my moments but fell way down at the end..

[seafoid]

Wales and Denmark were atrocious

[johnnycool]

Wales and Denmark were atrocious

Belgium were the biggest let down.

[Armagh18]

Wales and Denmark were atrocious

I tipped Denmark and Uruguay to be dark horses for a quarter or semi final. Shows what I know

[seafoid]

Morocco were in Bowl 5 and got to the semis.
That was some achievement. It should be recognised officially by the Gaaboard Bowl 5 Committee.
