Bongser, a wise man once said if the winds from the East ,lean to the West,or was it don't buy a Clown a woolly jumper.

If we all bought one for you, Charles, you could count them going over the gate and thereby get some much needed sleep. But try to remember the difference between light and hard - that being that you can sleep with a light on.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Even if matches seem to be postponed, please make a prediction anyway. Those that didn’t are allowed to edit them in until 3pm today as they could earn you points when the matches are rescheduled. Whilst this is not ideal as circumstances will be different at those points but it is easier than having a mini-round for single midweek matches.

Underway in the first match. Still time to enter and be scored (eventually) on the others. Welcome back to SaBadSel.

As requested...

Batley 16 Halifax 20
Sheffield 6 London 36

Another bad round for the Leythers, and a low scoring round to boot due to half the games being postponed (as there were only three played there could be no Pokemon bonus this week).

All eleven entrants – good turnout fellahs (VL assures Bongser that he’ll be back this week)- had Toulouse down to beat ‘Dale. So points for all.

Of the games played, there were four chancers that correctly predicted all the winners:
Drum..........Roll........of honour –
LeytherX111
Wanderer
SaBadSel &
Jack Diggle

6 pts each barring LX111 (63 in modern money) who also got a correct margin on the Leigh LOSS to Fev (first in ten, wtf!) for an extra three.

Bongser was “working” on Sunday but Flashscore had Briscoe scoring for Fev in the fourth minute. Nul points pour tout le monde. Great to be Norveige ain’t it?

LeytherX111 gets the extra 25 points weekly winner’s rosette.

League standings and puntables tomorrow when sober (day off = insobriety the evening before – especially when he has to face Ol’ Ma Bongser the next day (heads up, chaps, Mothers’ Day this Sunday)).

Thine host hates setting boring bonus questions so throws it open to the other XII Apostles (Good Westleythe name, good Westleythe name). First measurable and reasonable suggestion (Max 20 pts) will be this week’s Bonus Bonanza.
Answers NOT on postcards please (for those of a certain age)!

Bongser, the bonus question could be , how many goals will be scored in the Fax V Leigh game,combined by both teams.

Charles' bonus quesion it will be then. In fact that is one of the weekly questions in the Wire prediction comp.

So to the standings. Still seemingly insuperable and now a ton on the board (raise your bat, Sir), it's:

1) Charlie on 103
2) Leyther on 85
3) Wanderer on 78
4) Bongser on 75
5) Atomic on 74
6) Zulu on 49
7) Cokey on 36


Jim on 34
9) Publican on 29
10) Jack on 27
J11) SaBadSel & Vancouver on 16 apiece.

So to this week’s posers. Maybe we’ll have a full set of fixtures this time around but Bongser iterates; even if you hear of a postponement, predict anyway. You’ll be burying an acorn that may well become a great oak further down the line. Fasten your seatbelts:

Dewsbury XX-XX Toulouse
Featherstone XX-XX Swinton
Halifax XX-XX Leythe
London XX-XX Batley
Rochdale XX-XX Barrow
Sheffield XX-XX T’ronno

Bonus: How many kicks’ll go o’er t’sticks (both teams and conversions, penalties & drop goals all contribute) in t’Fax v Leigh match. 5 points for that.

As Bongser is unable to predict against the Cherry & Whites upon religious grounds, it is becoming even more important that they start putting a string of victories together. C’mon boys, if you won’t do it for KP, do it for B&B

Dewsbury 10-32 Toulouse
Featherstone 48-14 Swinton
Halifax 32-23 Leythe
