Premiership Predictions 2008-09

This year's competition was a tricky pancake what with Newcastle, Stoke and Fulham astonishing everybody and tearing up the form books (except Newcastle).

Scores were high (which is bad). Darren Collins deserves a mention for an envelope pushing 86, but this year the undisputed King of OUCS is James Cummings with an amazing score of 58. (Out of interest last year's winner was Adrian Parks with a total of 42.

James wins exclusive bragging rights over the whole of OUCS and will also be entitled to an extra free drink at the OUCS party on the 30th July.

When asked what his secret was, James replied that he put the teams he'd actually heard of near to the top of the list! A simple but effective technique!
