Latest summary: The 2006-2007 season of Scorecast League action is now complete. And subject to a re-check of all sheets, the provisional honours list has been decided. Congratulations in this context go to our new champion, Wayne Barnsley with 172 points, just one ahead of Liam Adams who shot into the limelight on the strength of collecting 55 end-of-season bonus points. Steve Curley came third and Chloe Gray occupied fourth spot. The £60 extra prize for competitors ending up on 88 points will be split six ways with a tenner apiece going to Mrs M Asman, Geoff Dodson, Kieren Pick, Albert Tebbs, Nigel Tiplady and David Wilson. In conclusion, thanks go to everyone who took part. Well done to the prize-winners and commiserations to those who endured a frustrating time. But rest assured, the competition will be back for the 2007-2008 campaign with entry sheets likely to be available from late June. Keep logging on here for details as and when they emerge. Final positions are featured below. Don’t forget to visit the Cricket World Cup Scorecast League competition (which has now reached its conclusion) to see how things worked out there (see dark blue panel immediately below).

 

A special Scorecast League has been run to tie in with the Cricket World Cup. See either the CRICKET section on this website or click HERE for the final table updates.
