    Yeah, we'll have you, PGF. :) And thanks for posting the upcoming fixtures.

    Are you a big rugby fan?

    Announcement

    An anonymous benefactor has kindly added an extra £50 to the charity pot. Therefore, a prize of £30 will be awarded to the runner-up, and £20 will be awarded to the team finishing in third place.

    There are five places to fill...

    Come on West Stand Willy and B&M!

    Count me in. If I win., give the money to Luzon or Oxfam. Whoever looks most deperate at the time.

    I was brought up watching rugby but tend to watch more football these days - rugby in Wales at club level has lost it's way a bit in the modern era. The World Cup always raises my interest though ;)

    I thought you were already in, Ken <doh> Good to have you on board.

    Just two more names needed. I'm looking to get the sweepstake teams/names completed by 3.30pm...

    And just to let you know we now have £5 for each team finishing bottom of the pools - a sort of generous 'wooden spoon' for those who get saddled with the minnows. Not sure if the benefactor wants to remain anonymous...

    I name that benefactor as ......... MR J Corbyn <ok> due to the fact that he has recently had a rather large pay increase.

    Excellent stuff, Don, but only if you are sure. <ok> Good luck with the move. Love West Sussex - especially the bird reserve at Pulborough/Storrington.

    I'm still looking to secure those last two names...
