Tassy on top of the world!

And there we have it, despite a late lunge for the line from young Alex, despite some last minute nerves and trouser-soiling, and a couple of weeks of mozzing in this here blog, TASSY has pulled it off, and will soon be hoisting the PunchDrunk Cup for the second time.
Congrats mate, if we can find an engraver who can spell your name it'll be scratched into the silverware alongside all the former greats.
Tas tells us this is a good omen for his Swannies to win the Big One, cos that's what happened last time he won, so put your bets on. I'm not sure yet what the prize pool is mate, but I reckon you could just about turn it into a million if that happens.
Thrusting himself into second spot is Alex 'I'mkindofabigdeal' Maxwell with an exciting late surge, and hanging in there for third prize is new-boy Andy 'Logger' Lloyd, who while looking like a winner two or three weeks back, til I mozzed him, has had an outstanding first-up season as a Drunk. He arguably should have taken out the DreamTeam too, and we'll no doubt hear much more from him over the years.
Here's how it all worked out in the end:

Stavros, PunchDrunk elder statesman and founding father proves there's still a little lead in the pencil, though unluckily no more money in the bank, nosing into 4th, and Matt, I reckon has been sitting at 5th all year and stayed there.
Jesper has anointed himself the new Greg Norman and slid from what looked to be an unassailable lead at some stages throughout the season to 6th. Still not a bad effort from someone who has trouble seeing past the round ball.
Making up the numbers for the finals, Leah and I did just enough to elbow Dickwad and Dave out. Leah walking back into the 8 a few weeks after taking a tip-free holiday and blowing her chance to win the whole thing and dropping out of the 8. And myself lobbing for the first time all year at just the right time to go through.
I'll work out winnings when I get a chance, but it's a 60:30:10 break-up of whatever's left after jackpots are paid, and first prize should be just under a grand I reckon, assuming everyone pays up. More on that later too.
Congrats Tas. Apologies for not trumpeting this earlier in the week, just got back from NZ and playing catch-up.
