A Sporting Chance
Two more results in and the chances of a jackpot vanish
The latest sporting endeavours of Serena Williams and the England cricketers have had an impact on our table.
Serena in reaching the ladies final in Wimbledon, albeit to end up still one short of Margaret Courts record of 24 grand slam titles, meant that the jackpot was no longer on as all the front runners did not have faith in her. Only 43% of predictions were correct for this one.
The drama in Lords as an Irishman lead England to beat New Zealand in the final of the cricket world cup was another one where loads of lives were lost as an meagre 26% had predicted a first world cup win for England.
So we are now past the half way stage and Lorna Egan is now our leader on 8 correct predictions from 9 events, there are 13 people hot on her heals ... I won't focus on those on 2 points ... yet :)
