And the winner of TBG 13-14 cannot do better!

And the winners are:
Yes, first, as you can all see from the Garden table, Richard's Gottodobetter with a desperate sprint/lunge/firecracker overtook the two teams ahead of him at the last gasp/belch/just wind of our 38 week marathon to win by a Sunderland stretch.

I cannot do a soundtrack but you should hear trumpets, big drums, loud cheers, raspberries, and more. Then there's the flashing lights borrowed from the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night.

Well bettered indeed, Gottodobetter! And battered!
Buttered? Maybe not. He didn't slip .....but others did!

And there's the rub. Steve of Little Ted United often says that his mother told him that it was no use coming second. (Thanks,  Nick - See See Songs, for reminding me)

But second is exactly what she has done - our Toni and her Little Wonders.

And as for 3rd, well we had better press on quietly Steve ...

.... and mention that Peter and his Super Rams who missed the first week of the League back in August last year has an average score better than Elojo and slightly less than Florence Dynamos. A great run-out in his first season - which could be enhanced if Derby win the play-offs and join the Premier League next season.

Thanks to everyone else for losing and being such jolly good /rotten sports, weren't you? Including the recent leaders for a heady dance. (Head of league table, wake up!)

And now to put on muddy boots and look at the league which gives someone else a chance of fantastic fame: our head-to-head Allotments league. Where even low scores can get a result!


The winner looked likely to be Gottodobetter but one of the uncommon draws (63-63) that we get in the head-to-head ditched Richard's chances of a double.

And the winner right at the very last shallot is El-Fandi Allstar's Peter H.
There were some leeks on the way but, Peter, you finally got the job done.

Both winners are invited to tell us please - to what they owe their success.
What were the factors that helped you to be a winner: anything at all that you can think of!
(You know: the recession, low interest rates, your partner's cooking, cannot sleep, only chance of a bit of peace, tennis not so good now, etc)

The end (for now)
