With Middleton crowned Cork Senior Hurling Champions yesterday, our competition came to a close.
Congrats to our winners!
1st - Marty Cummins wins €200
2nd - DJ Con wins €100
3rd - Conor Lowney wins €50
Thanks to everyone who played. It was the closest and most exciting competition yet.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Well done again to our winners.
Final Standings.
Thirteenth Update - One event to go
As expected, Vettel wrapped up the Formula 1 for this year, which leaves us with only one event to go, this Sunday's Cork Senior Hurling Championship Final.
The remaining permutations are below, and there's only two left. If Midleton win, Deej Con will come second to already-crowned winner Marty Cummins, with Conor Lowney third. If Sars win then Donal F O' Sullivan will come third and Comor moving up to the same points as Marty Cummins but losing out on the tiebreaker by only 8!
Event 19 | Event 20 | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
1 | Sars | Vettel | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
3 | Midleton | Vettel | Marty Cummins | D.J. Con | Conor Lowney |
Predictions and Progress after 19
Twelfth Update - Still two events to go.
Cork hurling semi-finals at the weekend - no points on offer, but Sars and Midleton winning means that Marty Cummins is now our winner!
With only four races left in the Formula 1 and 90 points between Alonso and Vettel, that championship could well be wrapped up at the weekend.
Here's the remaining permutations, and there's only four of them:-
Event 19 | Event 20 | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
1 | Sars | Vettel | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
2 | Sars | Alonso | Marty Cummins | Aisling Cronin | Conor Lowney |
3 | Midleton | Vettel | Marty Cummins | D.J. Con | Conor Lowney |
4 | Midleton | Alinso | Marty Cummins | Aisling Cronin | Philip Kelleher |
Predictions and Progress after 19.
Eleventh Update - Only two events to go!
'Haven warppped up the Cork Senior Football Championship on Sunday marking another event of our calender.
Unbelievably, considering they were defending champions, only 13 entrants backed them for this year. And with none of the leaders being among the thirteen the laeder board is left unchanged.
It leaves Marty Cummins still seven clear but far from home and dry, with a mad scramble behind for second and third. Seven entrants still have a chance of winning some money, five a chance of €100 or more, and three have a chance of the top prize of €200.
The two events left are the Cork Senior Hurling Championship and the Formula 1 Chammpionship.
Here's the fifteen possible permuations (after tie-breaks and everything!):-
Event 19 | Event 20 | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
1 | Sars | Vettel | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
2 | Sars | Alinso | Marty Cummins | Aisling Cronin | Conor Lowney |
3 | Sars | Button | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
4 | Sars | Hamilton | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
5 | Sars | Other | Marty Cummins | Conor Lowney | Donal F O' Sullivan |
6 | Midleton | Vettel | Marty Cummins | D.J. Con | Conor Lowney |
7 | Midleton | Alinso | Marty Cummins | Aisling Cronin | Philip Kelleher |
8 | Midleton | Button | Marty Cummins | D.J. Con | Aisling Cronin |
9 | Midleton | Hamilton | Marty Cummins | D.J. Con | Aisling Cronin |

Tenth Update of this year's Competition
Since our last update Clare have been crowned All-Ireland Hurling Champions which means that we only have three events left.
Marty Cummins still leads the way on 56 points, but Deej Con has taken a huge leap after he was one of only four people to predict that 'Other' would win the hurling. Deej and Aisling Cronin are joint second on 49, Conor Lowney is down to fourth and it's tightly packed in after that.
Next up is Sunday's Cork Senior Football Final between 'Haven and Nemo.

Ninth Update of this year's Competition.
Since the last update we've had a drawn Hurling Final and Dublin have won the All-Ireland Football Final.
Only four events to go now, and it's looking very good for Marty Cummins. Aisling Cronin and Conor Lowney (haven't they won enough!) are nicely positioned in the money too.
Another update after this weekend when Cork hopefully are crowned champions.

Eighth Update of this year's Competition.
The latest event to be decided was the Beara Junior Final which was (you might have heard!) won by Garnish.
Those thirteen entrants who picked Garnish made good headway in the competion, picking up four points on the field.
It hasn't affected the top ten but five entrants have closed the gap on that ten.
Next up is next weekend's All-Ireland Hurling Fin al. Best of luck to Cork!

Seventh Update of this year's Competition.
The British Open golf was decided over the weekend, which was our fourteenth event.
Phil Mickelson was an 'Other' so his victory was worth five points to the 63 entrants who went for that option.
Enda Lowney and Jamie Batt lost ground at the top but the other eight in the top ten all guessed correctly.
Aisling Cronin moves into second, and Conor Lowney moves up to third.

Sixth Update of this year's Competition.
Thirteen events now decided, and an update now due.
Event 10 - Andy Murray won the Wimbledon Men's Singles with twnety contestants getting that one right for five points each.
Event 11 - Marion Bartoli, an outsider, won the Wimbledon Women's singles. Maybe surprisingly, thirty-two people had opted for 'other' for the bumper nine points on offer.
Event 12 - Munster Football Final. Right.....how did twenty-one people go for Kerry? Four points each, and no more said about it!
Event 13 - Rampant Rebelism back in place for the Munster Hurling Final. For all the good it did us. Only two people went for Limerick! The lowest ever tally for a correct prediction. Both of them Treatyites. Both get seven points.
With those surprising results, it's no shock that nobody got all four events right. Nobody even got three out of four right.
The net result is that it's still very tight at the top, with Marty Cummins is still leading the way.
Next up is this weekend's British Open in the golf.

Fifth Update of this year's Competition.
Bayern have the Champions League in the bag and our early leader Marty Cummins has another six points for himself. Daylight has opened up.
Only 37 entrants predicted Bayern lifting the cup so the six points were gold for anyone who got it right.
Next up is Wimbledon and with Marty having some brave choices on his card the chasing pack will fancy their chances of reeling him back in (is that enough mixed metaphors for ye there?).

Fourth Update of this year's Competition.
Another weekend, another event, but not many changes after this one.
Tioulon won rugby's Heineken Cup at the weekend but only ten people had predicted this and none of them were at the top end of our table. It means that plenty missed the chance to either pull away or close the gap.
Next up is the Champions League Final. We'll update after that. Thanks as ever to everyone for playing.

Third Update of this year's Competition.
Three more events have now been decided:-
The National Hurling League was won by Kilkenny. 22 Entrants had the correct answer for the reward of three points.
Next up, Ronnie O' Sullivan won the World Snooker Championship, so six points go to a total of twenty-nine entrants who got that one right.
On Saturday Wigan won the English FA Cup (Others). Big outsiders, so seven points were on offer with only 14 entrants getting it right and getting a big leap on the rest of the field in the process
Nobody got all three correct, so the big winner was Marty Cummins who won on the snooker and the FA Cup, the thirteen points propelling him to the top of the leaderboard.

The Champions League and Heineken Cup are on next and we'll update again after that.
Thanks to everyone for playing!
Second Update of this year's Competition.
Our fourth event was settled over the weekend with Dublin winning the National Football League.
Eighty-two of the entrants had guessed this correctly so there's very little change to the leaderboard.
Next up is the National Hurling League next Sunday and we'll update again after that.
Best of luck and thanks for playing!

First Update of this year's Competition.
Three events have been decided already:-
Event 1 was predicting the amount of Irish Winners at Cheltenham. With a record fourteen winners, anyone who chose 'Other' was laughing, and forty-six entrants did for five points.
Event 2 was the US Masters. As ever, lots of entrants chose 'Other' for the golf and, with Adam Scott winning, it paid off for fifty-seven entrants, gaining four points for them.
Event 6 was the English Premier League which was wrapped up last night by Man. Utd much to the pleasure of the 98 entrants who predicted it and who picked up four points in the process.
All of which means that we have twenty-one entrants on the maximum 13 points to date.
Next up is the National Football League, the Final of which between Dublin and Tyrone will be on this Sunday.

Ninth Update - 1st October
Event 17 was the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Champions which was won by Kilkenny (3 points) which forty-eight entrants predicted correctly.
Event 18 was the All-Ireland Senior Football Champions which only three people got right (Donegal, so 'Other - 8 points').
With most people backing Kilkenny and none of the leaders winning on Donegal the leaderboard is much as it was.
What it now means is this, though:-
If Sars win the hurling and Castlehaven the football - the winner will be Corkery, Debbie Davison will be second and Michelle McCarthy third.
If Sars win the hurling and a team other than Castlehaven the football - top three in order will be Corkery, Debbie Davison and Michelle McCarthy.
If Bishopstown win the hurling and 'Haven the football - top three in order will be Denis Mullins, Debbie Davison and Michelle McCarthy.
and
If Bishopstown win the hurling and a team other than 'Haven the football - top three in order will be Debbie Davison, Michelle McCarthy and James Healy.
Got it?!

Eighth Update - 12th September
Event 16 has now been decided but Event 17 is on hold.
Event 16 was the Beara Final and most people had Urhan down to win that including all the leaders so very little change at the top.
Event 17 is the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Champions which has yet to be decided, so no change there either as yet.
Next up is the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. We'll update you all again after that.

Event 15 now decided - the British Open Golf, which was won by Ernie Els (other). 33 people got five points each for predicting that correctly, but none of them were at the top of the leaderboard, so very little change there.

Two more events this weekend, and it's getting tighter at the top!
Event 8 - Winner of the Champions League. Correct answer was Chelsea (7 points).
Event 9 - Winner of the Heineken Cup. Correct answer was Leinster (4 points).
Only five people guessed Chelsea which just goes to show how awful and/or disliked they are (Davy Cronin!!!), so their win made very little difference to the leaderboard.
Twenty-seven entrants got the rugby right, though, including Aisling Cronin who draws level at the top with Dunga Mullins!

Third Update - 15th May
One more event over the weekend, but no change at the top:-
Event 6 - Winner of English Premier League. Correct answer was Man. City (4 points).
Only 26 predicted Man. City would win, which says a lot of for loyalty! All of the top five had gone for Man. Utd so it was a chance for the pack to catch up, and they did. It's a lot tighter up there now.
Next up is the Champions League and the Heineken Cup, both on this Saturday.

Three more events over the weekend:-
Event 4 - Winner of National Hurling League. Correct answer was Kilkenny (4 points).
Event 5 - Winner of World Snooker Championship. Correct answer was Ronnie O' Sullivan (6 points).
Event 7 - Winner of English FA Cup. Correct answer was Chelsea (5 points).
50 people predicted Kilkenny, 22 predicted Chelsea but only 13 predicted Ronnie O' Sullivan giving big gains to anyone who did.
One of them was Denis Mullins who also backed Kilkenny to win the League, which leaves him top. Aisling Cronin goes second, having also backed Kilkenny and Chelsea. early days yet, though, and there's a good chasing pack.

Only three events are left - The Cork Senior Football Championship, The Rugby World Cup and The 2011 Formula One Championship.
We'll update as soon as the next one finishes. Until then, as ever, thanks for playing.
Here's the full spreadsheet:-
Latest update - 23rd September
Three more events have been decided:-
Event 12 - Urhan won the Beara Final
Event 16 - Dublin won (or Kerry lost, whatever way you prefer to put it!) the Football All-Ireland
Event 17 - Colm Cooper ended up top scorer
82 people predicted Urhan to win, 23 predicted Dublin, and 12 predicted Cooper, but only one contestant predicted all three - well done JJ Darb O' Sullivan. That pushes JJ up to 12th.
At the top, Julian and Simon Harrison take over from the Cons of Ahabrook, who slip to fourth.
No sign of our Tipp man, The Bull Maher. Damien had donated any winnings he might have got to our youth set-up, fair play to him. Typical - the one time you don't mind Tipp winning and they make a hames of it!

There are four events remaining - The Cork Senior Football and Hurling Championships, The Rugby World Cup and The 2011 Formula One Championship.
We'll update as soon as the first one finishes. Until then, as ever, thanks for playing.
Here's the full spreadsheet:-
Latest update - 13th September.
The Beara Final might not have been decided yet, but two other events have:-
Event 14 - All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship - (Kilkenny - 3pts), and
Event 15 - Top scorer in same - (Other - 12pts) (Paul Ryan of Dublin with 2-47)
There were 41 correct predictions for both, and it's all change at the top as Tipp man Damien Maher slips. He was convinced his home county would win (not like the Tipp lads to be cocky, huh?).
The Cons of Ahabrook take over at the top.
