Team challenge - Spitzer, Spitzer, who the fcuk is Spitzer?

There was quite a lot of movement in the Team Challenge table in the final weeks of the season but not where it mattered up at the very top.

Marsh's Doyley & Simmons win their 2nd consecutive trophy. Last year they just pipped AIG, but this time they stormed to the title with a record points tally. XLRe came in 2nd, their score being helped by me not including Dom Barrett's partnership with RSA's Alex Baxter, so their paltry score counted towards neither company.

Into 3rd in the final weeks was Aon's Fac R/I team. They were woefully let down by the boss Rutter though. Ben Graves, Glenn Francis, John McGowan, Kirstie Baillie and Danny Matthews all had campaigns to be proud off.

Last season's runners up AIG had to settle for 4th. Aon's property team stormed to 5th at the finish and in 6th were RSA who only joined the league in January.

Liz and Robbo made up Aon's casualty team and they came 7th, ahead of a disappointing NIG in 8th.

Nobby & Tim Feldbruegge's improved form during the final stages meant Aon Chicago avoided the wooden spoon and finished a credible 9th. So, it was left between JLT and Zurich to see who 'won' the wooden spoon and only 10 points seperated the two teams. But despite a gutsy final week from James Bird, it was JLT who finished bottom of the pile.

The final table will appear alongside the final table email.
