@kiwipie Has the league and cup double ever been done? I can feel a big one coming up from me after this last week's miserly 27 points!

Propsicle in NPC 2013 and Joan and Mary in NPC 2016 did the double. Nobody has ever retained the cup in NPC until you did it in 2019 and 2020.

I'd be happy with a 32-31 for BOP over Harbour on Sunday afternoon.

It's all over and Dice managed to hang on to win by a single point from Higgins and Winger, by 2 from Hydro11 and by 5 from Broughie. I can't remember a closer leaderboard at the end of a season. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
All the scores over 60 came in the final week of the season as many went big on Sunday nailing 30/30 and many also getting Manawatu as low scorers. Despite being in prime position to challenge at the end of Saturday, Sportboy somehow finished 9th!
Justin77 managed a full 7/7 but others were better on margins - both Higgins and Hydro11 getting 6 out of 6 for the games they picked correctly.
Northland win the title beating South Island by 5 points - a lot of it due to Northland's win over Waikato which they backed more than South Island did. But mainly it was due to Justin77's stellar score.
I'll do more of a wrap a bit later on.

@KiwiPie You weren't looking so good with less than ten minutes to go though! Anyway congratulations on having the foresight to pick Ta$man, it got you home at the top of the field so an inspired pick from you. Thanks again for your efforts in running your tipping contests, it is so unique having the individual and team aspect to it.
