Results (13th May)

Greetings amigos,

The last two seasons saw our title winner on both occasions - Mr Stewart-Jones - win at a canter, with 30 point winning margins applying to each final table.  This season was the complete opposite, with just 9 points separating the top four manager - the closest margin for the top quartet on record.  Given his excellent record over the final two months of the season, the sensible money seemed to be on Mr O'Callaghan, who, despite going into the final day 3 points behind myself in top spot, looked good to win his first domestic title.  And win it he did, in some style.  Adam comfortably won the final day shootout by notching a very impressive 3 spot-ons amongst a 12 point haul.  Ad not only took the Predictio title but also the May monthly award.  May I be the first to congratulate Mr O'Callaghan on his maiden domestic title; he accrued the most spot-ons this year by a margin, and his form at the business end of the season has been too much for the rest of us to live with - massive congratulations amigo!

My season ended on a dull note as the 6 points I amassed were never going to be enough to stop Adam's title charge.  Mr Crinnion came out marginally better on 7 points, but like myself he'll look back on this season as a missed opportunity having led the way for large parts of the campaign.  To complete the round-up of the top four, Mr Stewart-Jones finished his season with a very solid 9 point haul, perhaps a precursor to his upcoming Predictio World Cup campaign, a tournament in which his performance level is peerless.  Elsewhere Mr Raistrick scored 7 points, whilst Mr Luke and Mr West scored 6 apiece.  Mr Moore and Mr McClay both failed to submit their predictions, instead opting for World Cup scouting missions.

Finally, thank you very much to all managers for your participation in Predictio 2017-18.  Keep your eyes peeled for information about Predictio World Cup 2018.

Take it easy,

Danny
