Egg on face for Giles as Dom escapes

So Giles Crowley, who didn't feature in the bottom 6 until week 39, ended up with the egg on his face alongside Tim Feldbruegge, Brian Rutter, Neil Cryer, Rob Beere and Nigel Tatlock.

This only possible after Dom Barrett found an escape route after lounging in the bottom 6 since November last year. A big well done to the little one.

Two other managers that were in trouble but escaped without too much fuss were Danny Rose and last season's champion Pete Doyle.

Dom ended up pipping Giles by more than 20 points and was in fact only 2 behind Danny, after a strong last few weeks of the campaign.

The wooden spoon goes to Tim, who managed to stay crap all season, whereas last year he bucked up his ideas after Easter and escaped re-election with comparative ease.

The 'prize' as always for finishing in the bottom 6 is a pint or two. Therefore Nobby will be expecting Tim to be buying a few cold ones during some World Cup watching lunchtimes, whereas Giles, Nige, Cryer and Rutts should stand Ready one or two when they next see him in The Lamb.

For Rutts, he will get his 25 quid back after pretty much owning the penultimate place since week 17, so £25 will find its way into Brian's hands and probably not long after the barman's for the exchange of a few pints of Fosters.
