Have fun. County Fan will decide your judge for this one (eventually when we get theire - and it will be Macca !!!!)
Homework for the week:- The club was established in 1873 as Trinity Recreationists by Reverend George Langton Hodgkinson, the vicar at the Holy Trinity Church. Hence their nicknames "Trinty" and "Holy Blues". Trinity moved to their Northolme ground, then also a cricket venue, in 1884.

Nice work, H, Eppers and Gazz-man. We have ourselves a guaranteed full podium, then. Now, let us have some competition to get on it! |

Morning, fellow limericists!
I am conscious of the need for a quick turnaround in judging this one, given that we have Tamworth to move on to. So, I shall dish out medals this evening - leaving the competition open until, say, 7pm for any post-match lines.

Right, then - and with thanks, as ever, to all who entered - here is a quick-fire decision from the Macc Jury, enabling us to move threads and get on with rhyming about Monday's game:
In third place, ceefer, with his exclamation, County - 20 shots on target... no way, Jose! Quite unbelievable, given the narrow scoreline, but there or thereabouts in truth.
Taking the Silver Medal, hermanns, for the almost-spot-on prophesy, But Oswell taps in after melee. It was a header, of course, and there was nothing by way of a defensive effort to repel - but who cares? It did the trick!
This week's winner, however, is... archie, who surely speaks for us all with his longer-term prediction, And we'll play them no more after May. Simple, effective, and - please, God - let us hope it proves to be correct!
The judging robes are yours, Sir. Onward unto Tamworth...
