So, that's another season done and, as is customary, it's time to run the monthly figures through the abacus.
Like all the other games on here, this is meant as a diversion and it's absolutely fine for people to miss a week or month when the real world gets in the way. Naturally, this hits the accumulated score for the season but I'll let someone else calculate the average points per weeks played.
So, to start at the beginning...
August
Maccy started the season off in a hurry and pipped Bradders to the first monthly crown.
13 Maccy
12 Bradders
11 Irish
11 Lennie
11 Mini-Herm
September
Mini-Herm (15) was top of the pops, one ahead of MHH and two more than Irish. He also took the overall lead.
26 Mini-Herm
24 Irish
23 Bradders
23 Lennie
23 Maccy
October
Following a poor start, Archie (15) finally hit his straps, two ahead of a 5-way tie between Bradders, Ceefer, Hermann, Lennie and Mini-Herm, the last named slightly increasing his overall lead.
39 Mini-Herm
36 Bradders
36 Lennie
35 Maccy
To be continued...

Moving on.
November
A first monthly prize of the season for Gazz (14), four ahead of his closest pursuer, Maccy. Mini-Herm retained the overall lead.
48 Mini-Herm
45 Lennie
45 Maccy
43 Bradders
December
Our first dead heat of the season with Ceefer (18) just edging Lennie on the tie-break. Lennie and Bradders scoot past Mini-Herm overall but still tight at the halfway stage.
63 Lennie
60 Bradders
58 Ceefer
58 Mini-Herm
57 Maccy
56 Gazz
55 MHH
52 Archie
48 Dudders
46 Eppy

Second half.
January
Archie (18) took this month three ahead of Eppy. Lennie maintained his three point lead overall but Ceefer moved up to second.
75 Lennie
72 Ceefer
71 Bradders
71 Maccy
February
A second monthly win for Gazz (13), just a single point ahead of Bradders and Hermann. Lennie's overall lead cut to two.
85 Lennie
83 Bradders
82 Maccy
81 Archie
81 Gazz
March
Eppy (13) tucks away a monthly win, a point ahead of Mini-Herm and two more than Lennie. Lennie opening up overall as we enter the home straight.
98 Lennie
93 Archie
93 Mini-Herm

April
Bradders (21), a point ahead of Eppy and two in front of Archie, moves within a point of Lennie overall. Will the pressure tell?
114 Lennie
113 Bradders
112 Archie
110 Mini-Herm
May
So, all down to the final month and MHH (12) takes May a point ahead of Lennie. The pair being the only players to get in to double figures. Final scores:
125 Lennie
120 Bradders & Archie
119 Mini-Herm
114 Maccy
112 Eppy
107 Ceefer
106 MHH
103 Gazz
93 Hermann
90 Dudders
38 Countyfan
25 Irish
Other stats:
Archie and Gazz both had two monthly victories. One each for Bradders, Ceefer, Eppy, Mini-Herm, Maccy and MHH.
No 7 out of 7 scores this season but creditable 6s for Eppy (Aug W4), Archie (Jan W4) and Eppy (Mar W1).
So, congratulations to our 2022/23 champion, Lennie, who was a clear winner overall without triumphing in any single month. Well played Mister Consistency.
Thanks to everyone for turning out week after week and, in particular, to Maccy for finding the most difficult to predict matches. I hope to see you all next season.

Great totting, Archie - and many congratulations to Sir Len. Top-four finishes for both organisers, though, I see. Oops...  Thank you to all for playing the game this season. We go again in August! |

Just to add, for those who entered it, that results from the separate Big, Big Prediction Game will follow - but only after a week tomorrow (10th), when the Champions League concludes.  |

Impressive work Lennie to win the season but no individual month. Truly consistent.

That's some fantastic work, Archie, many thanks for putting all that together, mate! Commiserations to yourself and Bradders on a superb joint-second place, but many congrats to Lennie with a truly epic win, I'll sort a trophy when I can muster the energy to go upstairs and start the PC up again, it's absolutely cracking the flags here in Scousepool and I've got the fan on warp 9 trying to keep cool!    |

Fantastic win, len. Well played, sir.
Huge thanks to macc for picking some devilish fixtures and to archie for tracking all the scores - a lot of work that is very much appreciated.

Well knock me down with a feather !!!!!!!
I can obviously dig into the sub-conscious mind of Macca and his devious choices (and stick the pin in the right place !).
It pays not to over-think these things and go with a gut-instinct (for that read panic choices).
Well done to Macca and Archie, thanks for a great set of games and I shall wear my badge of honour with pride.
Time to get out the "Gloating Cream".
