St George's managed to keep Manchester within touching distance until the final minutes, when Manchester sped away to a deserved victory.<br /><br />It's a shame that St George's have to leave the contest; they did look like potential champions at one point. They've definitely impressed though, particularly Messrs Suebsaeng and Mindel, who've been good scorers throughout the series.<br /><br />Mr Mindel was the side's top scorer with six starters, the same as Adam Barr got for Manchester. The bonuses: Manchester made 19/36 with one peenalty, St George's managed 1a/27 with two penalties.<br /><br />So, next week the final semi-final between Bangor and King's, in a clash of the 'blog reader' teams. Best of luck to all involved, once again!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-55934590116238474392013-04-02T22:57:52.598-07:002013-04-02T22:57:52.598-07:00Hi Will

I'm sad enough to keep a track of the number of questions I answer correctly in each show, and if anything it was a couple of points above my average. <br /><br />DaveLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-48499986451279235492013-04-02T14:14:20.005-07:002013-04-02T14:14:20.005-07:00Good game and well done to Manchester.

I was interested to see former Manchester UC winner Henry Pertinez in the audience at the end. <br /><br />Basically St. George's couldn't really find a way into the game until Manchester had already scored 90. Now, OK, we've seen some big leads overhauled in this series, but even so it's far easier to control the game when you've a cushion like that. Full credit to St. George's for making a game out of it, and the fact that the result remained in doubt until the last couple of minutes does show how well they played after a bad start.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-6780744222028159862013-04-02T01:53:31.810-07:002013-04-02T01:53:31.810-07:00There seemed to be a fair amount of Science and Ma...There seemed to be a fair amount of Science and Maths this episode - here's hoping for a similar amount next week!<br /><br />Bad luck St. G's, but Manchester are always going to be a tough team to beat.jim360https://www.blogger.com/profile/11827592412424749053noreply@blogger.com
