I ran this last year (with a little help from Baggers with the scoring) and it was quite successful, so another go this year too.
Last year I provided the prizes, which were duly despatched to Whippet (Well done on your win again).
I have asked Betfair if they would be kind enough to put a prize forward this year, and I'm still awaiting their response. After last year's competition, they did say they'd be interested, so we'll see. If any sponsorship/prize is kindly donated, we'll all be playing for that! If not, it's just for pride and to say you've done better than everyone else.
