I also agree that there is a question mark over what they might do if Gabriel Trueblood has an off day. Having said that there were also similar question marks about Alex Guttenplan's Emmanuel team, and Gail Trimble's Corpus Christi team in years gone by, and they were answered pretty emphatically. That St. Peter's bonus rate improved as the show continued - had they started as well as they finished they might even have been pushing 300.

An unlucky draw for Selwyn, who I suspect could've won either of the previous two matches before this one, but a respectable effort.<br /><br />I think St Peter's will have to be taken seriously now; Mr Trueblood's buzzer skills could well see him see the side home against some of the other teams in the QFs. If he has an off-day, however, I suspect the others may struggle to carry themselves.<br /><br />On the bonuses, Selwyn managed 8/19 (with two penalties) and St Peter's 24/36 (with one penalty).<br /><br />On Monday, by process of elimination, it must be Oxford Brookes vs UCL. And then the QFs begin the week after.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
