.. a fantastic late run from Mark Embury and Andy Mein's 'Tom Marshall Fan Club' was not quite good enough to pinch top spot in the final round of the TASC Champions League Prediction Competition.
They picked up a magnificent 19 points in the final round of matches courtesy of 4 all correct score predictions, but it wasn't quite enough to dislodge James Hill's 'Rainmans Mugging Devils' who hung on to win by 2 points.
Not only does James win the cash for first place but more importantly gains valuable bragging rights over his father, Mike, whose team 'Rainman's Mugging Foxes' finished well down the batting order in 16th place.
Colin Mitchell's 'Team PSG Womble' slipped from 2nd to 3rd in the final week to finish one point behind the Tom Marshall Fan Club.
Congratulations to all three teams who pick up the prize money and a big thank you to all who took part.
Hopefully we will be able to run another prediction competition in the not to distant future.
