Team Challenge - Bluefin swim to the title

In the end Bluefin cantered to the N&R Team Challenge Trophy beating Lloyds start-up JRP by 25 points. Ready, who dominated this season's campaign was joined by Ryan Saveall and they will be presented with the prestigious trophy on Thursday night to sit proudly in Keith's corner penthouse office.

JRP were newly formed during the season and Godders and Danny will be pleased with their 2nd spot after reigniting their old friendship and fantasy partnership.

In 3rd place was Aon's International group, I think probably our highest ever finish. Led by Tim with good performances by Nobby and Davor, we were let down by our Welsh Antipodean mate Huw! Just one-fourteenth of a point behind in 4th came Aon Benfield, our erstwhile rogues gallery of fac brokers led by Rutts. In fact 4th is an excellent finish bearing in mind there are 11 players in the team, the highest placed being Lee Horne.

Not far behind them in 5th was the RSA's London-Mexican duo of Langton and Foulger (I'm not even sure they know each other). 6th was Chartis and the 9 underwriters that make up the team. Not for the first time it was Barry Paull that top scored, and also not for the first time, Chris Waterman low-scored. Does the loser still buy a curry guys?

Disappointingly down in 7th was last season's champions Willis. Kirsty had a wonderful season but M&A guru Ian Kennett let the girls down. 8th were QBE way down the list in 9th. Chris Wright top scoring with Rob on about 100 points less. Just below in 9th came the Tokio boys Neville and Mono, who were on about a level par.

This season's wooden spooners were the Lloyds boys, fully 60 points adrift at the bottom of the table. Tatters had a decent campaign but Cryer and Kilpo occupied two of the bottom three overall places with Dan Martin not an awful lot higher.
