I decided to make things easier for me to mark at the end of the League Cup season so have started this new thread.  For the end of season predictions, 3 points awarded for correctly predicting the winners, 2 points for correctly predicting the position that a team will finish and 1 point if that team finish one place on either side of your prediction.  Predictions received are shown below.... more entries always welcomed.  |

End of Season Prediction.... This competition always throws up some unusual results and I am sure that this will continue this year.  Albion Brighton - the handicaps are pretty reasonable for this team and they will be among the favorites. Final position: 2nd Black Horse - always hard to beat at home and won't have to give much away in any of their games. Final position: 5th Cock'n'Balls - if they play their best team and take it seriously they could win this season, but I'm not sure that they will. Final position: 6th Glynde Club - the current League Leaders could find the handicaps tough to overcome, even on their home table. Final position: 4th Hikers Rest - the other top handicap team have a history of not taking this competition very seriously with 200 hole challenges a regular appearance! Final position: 7th Hospital Club - the handicaps could work in their favour at home but they don't travel very well! Final position: 8th Laughing Fish K - the defending champions have home advantage in 4 of their crucial games but could struggle in the others. Final position: Champions.  Laughing Fish W - with Henry responsible for much of their handicap they will find this tough. Final position: 9th Plough Plumpton - runners-up last year and have a good handicap if they use them correctly. Final position: 3rd |

As for the season think the youngsters from the Albion will take some scalps and guide them to the title. At least I don't have to make any decisions on where to play my Jokers this year but I'm sure we will have fun and enjoy the banter throughout the games. |

Here are the results (and predictions) from the Albion Jury:- (please do not take any offence - none is meant) Albion Brighton - without doubt the nicest and quietest team in the league Also, we have the player who has won the most last ball games so far this season, and the only 8 out of 8 man (although he is not a TKO man) , but a noisy captain always poses problems and we lost to a team we have got to give starts away to. Surely, the 'best' Stoner will come to the fore and Mrs Baden is always a force to be reckoned with - 4th (mid table ish) Black Horse - had a shocking start to the season but catching up now. Defeated us and now we are giving them a start so very dangerous. If Jan avoids Millward and Senior in the draw anything could happen - 1st Cock'n'Balls - joint lowest handicaps, mostly from one player who I am more than delighted to possibly have to give a start to   . They were 'Jacked' and don't know much about their other players (sorry) - 8th Glynde Club - The 'Eastbourne/Hastings Mafia' stroll into town and normally stroll out with the points, but I see they have to give some start away to the Fish Ks so that will be pretty tough, notwithstanding the rest of us - 4th Hikers Rest - they have the former holder of 'the best captain on a Monday ever' but that crown has gone and so will the League Cup . I would blame Chunk(y) but he is my Sussex Doubles partner . So I am afraid it is the captain's fault for the high handicap - 9th or 10th or last or bottom  Hospital Club - great bunch, they have also been 'Jacked' this season. I understand the table is not great but it was only a couple of World Champions who told me that so it can't be right. Low handicaps and tough table are normally a good combination - 3rd Laughing Fish K - Not a bad team on paper with TJ and Parky in their ranks .......it goes downhill after that though with Messrs Ingram, Millward and Lelliot following on ...............Captain Ingram will be working as we speak on getting the handicaps right against the Hikers and Glynde Club and they will looking to 'batter' the Albion after we beat them in the League in an 'interesting' match - 5th Laughing Fish W - "Silent's" only competition for the quietest man in bar billiards is in this team  , but H's skill has made it tough with quite a high handicap - 7th Plough Plumpton - Real dangers especially if Ross, Rob, Rod or whatshername turns out , we had a great match at the Plough (somehow getting lost on the way) but I apologise now to the spectator who I crashed into and the chair that got injured in the first 'Jacking' of the season . They are on a good handicap 'mark' - 2nd Looking forward to it, but the head is hurting with thoughts of the handicap tactics  |
