The league is over, the championship is being formally launched later on today and so it’s time to announce the final result in this year’s NFL mini-league which was hosted as ever by those good people at facetheball.com. We have a clear winner alright and that winner is Yew Tree, who managed to hold off yengae over the run-in and […]
I know everyone has probably switched off what with the holiday weekend and all that (I know I have as we’re spending a few days down on home soil, although I was woken up at 6am this morning by the cuckoo’s call) but don’t forget that there’s one final mini-round this weekend to end the facetheball prediction mini-league. There are […]
It’s almost the end of the line as regards the two prediction competitions that have been running here on the site since early February to coincide with this year’s NFL. While it’s not yet time to declare victors in either of the two competitions just yet, it’s certainly the case that the eponymous fat lady is starting to clear her […]
I predict it’s going to be a belter of a weekend weatherwise though, if these lads are to be believed, it might not be time just yet for packing away the winter woollies. Hopefully the unseasonably charitable weather we’ve been enjoying these last few days will mean that a nice dry sod will be sitting atop the stony grey soil […]
Okay, it’s results time on the weekend’s predictions, where we’ve got another weekly winner in the Setanta competition to reveal as well as a bit of a shake-up in the mini-league leaderboard. The Setanta competition first, where this week’s winner is Edwin McGreal. I was speaking with Ed on Sunday evening and he told me he had Jason Doherty backed […]
What with bank stress tests, Fools’ Day and thoughts about the upcoming weekend to consider, it’d be easy to forget about those predictions for the weekend games so here’s a quick reminder: don’t forget to do them. There are still two places to be claimed in the draw for the year’s sub via satellite to Setanta Sports, with the added […]
One other loose end I didn’t manage to get around to yesterday was the outcome of the two predictions competitions which need to be reported on following last weekend’s fifth round of NFL matches so, a bit later than usual, here are the details. Brian Gallagher is the weekly winner in the Setanta competition, having got closer than anyone else […]
For those of you still wondering if today is Monday or Friday (and, to be sure, there a bit of both about the day today) the fact that it’s weekend prediction time should help to clear up any confusion you might still have. There’s a full slate of matches again this weekend and your facetheball mini-league predictions need to be […]
Time to reveal what’s happened with the Setanta competition and the mini-league arising from the weekend’s results. First, the Setanta competition where this week’s winner is Paul McCaffrey. Paul wins the weekly prize of a copy of Breandán Ó hEithir’s wonderful book Over The Bar and his name also goes into the hat for the overall prize of a year’s subscription […]
It’s my final night here in the land of perpetual summer and so there’s lots to be sorted – including my predictions for this weekend’s round of league matches so don’t forget yours either, both for the Setanta competition (for which you need to email me with your predictions for the score in the Tyrone v Antrim match and, as […]
