Tara Wins at Wembley – now joint leader
Even though the winner of Wembley Cup is determined by the richest player and not match results, the game went to the Cup Final winner and runner-up in the 4-3 victory of Watford over Stockport. Watford was managed by Tara, and Stockport by Genelle. El Prez came 3rd which sees him break away from the 3-way 50-point tie that existed at the bottom of the table – the Spoon is now a 2-way tie between Jordan (WHP) and Gill (absent due to the woes of late pregnancy). Gill has said she’ll make every effort to make the June meet depending on the status of said pregnancy. Tara‘s win puts her right up to the top of the table tied with Rob, and he’s going to be absent from the June meet, so we could easily have a new outright leader by July – Louise is also within reach of the top spot.
The backup was Yahtzee which almost didn’t eventuate – the game dug out of Mark’s cupboard had only one die and no score sheets. El Prez came to the rescue with 4 additional dice, and El Trez just happened to have with him some freshly printed score sheets. It was a bit hard on some players’ OCD tendencies to roll the 5 dice – four of which were “normal” sized transparent lovelies, with one oversized white monster, but we got through it. Rob won the backup convincingly by scoring TWO Yahtzies in the round with Louise and Mark in the minor placings.
