Chariot Battered, Irish Stewed
With a table churning weekend behind us, the F6NF is all over the place. Order has been disordered and we have a new table topper after Wales battered England into submission, blunting their new trick of the grubber kick, and Ireland failed to clock up a big margin in Rome, or anything like a decent performance.

Gerry Kelly goes clear at the top with 125 point, with Frances Caffrey hot on his heels with 113, chased by retired day trader Lorenzo Carpanini who backed against England to rocket up the table.
Gerry Kelly, from an undisclosed location, contacted the F6NF through a third party to express his delight.
“What with wining the Euro Millions, the Irish Lotto and now topping the F6NF, its been quite a week. We’re just going to take some time out as a family and plan our future a long, long way away. Can you send the trophy by post? Forget that, I’ll send a private jet to collect it”
“So I’m 8 points behind?” said Caffrey. “I just hope my Dermot gave the right advice over the next two weekends. And there’s no prize for coming second?”
“After all those years of backing England for the Grand Slam I went with he algorithms this year” said Carpanini from his riverboat on the Stour. “About time I won something in this, you never give me any prizes. I suppose I still haven’t won anything”
Weekend Winners
The Serviceworks Solid Crew Award goes to Mick Kennedy for topping the weekend with a very healthy 51 points. “That’s great” said Kennedy from a business conference on a golf course in Portugal. “Its been an ambition for many years, I’m delighted to pick up a trophy at last. More than I’ll be doing on this golf course.
The Ethos Engineering Through the Glass Ceiling Award goes to Lauren Sharpe for her 48 points and highest lady achievement. “Wow that’s brilliant. I’m just on an assignment in Bogota at the moment and have a little job to do in Mogadishu on the way home, but will be back for a couple of days before I have to do a job in Caracas, is that OK?” said Sharpe, who presumably is a hitman. Or, rather, hitwoman.
