Jah Womble stays top by 2 points from logan Mountstuart and 2 more ahead of linus in third. Logan was top scorer with 10, as was Felicity, I guess so, whose total also included the three point bonus for correctly guessing Balogun would get the first booking.

* Dunc predicted twice, scoring 8 the first time and just 1 the second. I have awarded him the mean score of his two predictions.

Jah Womble now leads by four points, but has three opponents all tied on points close on his tail, Wouter D, who was top scorer with 8, linus and Logan Mountstuart. making up for last time's duck, ad hoc was the closest to the crowd at the Panama-Tunisia game for the three point bonus, whilst Dunc only posted once this round.
