He took every single one of his team’s 11 starters – and 11 is a ridiculous number of starters for one individual to get in one show. A fantastic performance. <a href="https://www.exactinside.com/CWDP-303-exactdumps.html" rel="nofollow">CWDP-303 dumps</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-51710124202209946772019-02-25T15:11:46.562-08:002019-02-25T15:11:46.562-08:00Not only could St Edmund Hall's score of 190 b...Not only could St Edmund Hall's score of 190 be the highest score with only 1 player getting any starters right, but it is also possible that Emmanuel's score of 55 is the lowest to have included correct starters from all 4 team members.Paul Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942358761328378374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-15857612455904343632019-02-25T09:26:09.347-08:002019-02-25T09:26:09.347-08:00Enjoyable match and fantastic performance by Fredd...Enjoyable match and fantastic performance by Freddy Leo (answering all of Teddy Hall’s 11 correct starters). He seems to have become something of a star (e.g. on the BBC website) based on this performance. <br /><br />Of course both of the team captains from are now at Oxford and as an interesting side note, I see that Mr Leo has recently been playing on Oxford B (alongside Mr. Peplow and Ms. Woodland from last year’s UC finalists Merton) and Ms. Cugini has been playing on Oxford C.<br /><br />It will certainly be an interesting buzzing contest if/when Teddy Hall meet Darwin and Mr. Golfinos. I am glad to see that Mr. Leo doesn’t delay answering after buzzing for a couple of seconds unlike Mr. Golfinos (of course they get about a second extra thinking time from Roger Tilling reading out their name/College).<br /><br />Finally I note that the recording of the 1st round (& I assume two second round) matches for UC 2019-20 will be finishing today (25th Feb) so more than 40% of the next UC season has already been filmed.qdx1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08491144415136995254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-13749972420480468032019-02-23T03:24:58.170-08:002019-02-23T03:24:58.170-08:00Agreed with Aethelstan that Mr Leo's colleague...Agreed with Aethelstan that Mr Leo's colleagues are maybe a bit better prepared to pick up the slack should the starters not fall for him than other teams led by a star player in the past, but that's a matter for another game. Unlucky Emmanuel, but agreed that they're certainly not out of the tournament yet, just simply overpowered by Mr Leo on the buzzer this time.<br /><br />On the bonuses, Emmanuel managed 5/12 and St Edmund Hall 19/33.<br /><br />On Monday, Durham play Edinburgh, with the winners going through to the semis. Followed in the coming weeks by Glasgow vs Manchester, Bristol vs St Edmund Hall and Darwin vs Emmanuel.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-3492509718068856292019-02-23T02:35:48.541-08:002019-02-23T02:35:48.541-08:00I was looking forward to this one.

I must say I expected this match to be closer, I was taken aback at the thumping dished out by Leo. I do think in some cases these Oxbridge games can be 'grudge' matches; we remember the punishment dished out last season with John's versus Corpus! I would say Emma still have a chance at the semi's, very much not out - but Teddy have nailed their colours to their mast. I shall expect them to stand and deliver. It's interesting to consider what may happen if Leo has an off day- my gut feeling is his team-mates may be better placed to take up the slack than, say the Darwin team and Golfinos.Aethelstanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941291511056658074noreply@blogger.com
