Despite the current Cup holders not making this year's final I'm sure that there'll be a few of us heading down to 'that there London' for a day out or perhaps a weekend away to watch Classy Cas take on The Entertainers in what should be an open game. I'm on one of Barry Cooper's finest and if you are too then say hello.

Because we haven't the usual prediction detail, crowd and try time/scorers then Auntie Rico who has been in charge of her draws has sanctioned quintuple points this week.

Good Luck

Thanks UR, even though I'm that knackered after all that deliberation I'm seeing double, just like the crowd at Wimbledon on this day in 1882, when William Renshaw defeated his twin brother, Ernest, in a fraternal five set thriller.

KST everyone

In a close fought game a Danny Richardson inspired Castleford beat his former employers by 3 to win this year's pools panel prediction league Challenge Cup. With Warrington top of the Pools Panel League and the resumed regular fixtures announced it seems like a good place to set the comp aside and wait for the real thing

Challenge Cup Winners Castleford

Old Man John, Wire n Steel, karetaker and MorePlaymakersNeeded all predicted a Cas win and presumably less gurning from Coach Powell, but it wasn't enough to see off Sir Adrian Morley who when the euphoria dies down should be concerned that he and I are on a 'wavelength'.

Bloody 'ell UR expect McManus on here demanding the virtual ref is publicly flogged.

Could you imagine it ha ha To be fair it wasn't totally anti Saints as I think that Cas gave them a game pre-lock down

Covid19 has placed McManus in the Father McKenzie roll of the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby, writing the words of a sermon in a programme that no one will read.
