At their request, fazzer77's and The Goatman's scores are not listed. Thank you to both for your contributions to the competition.

All that remains is to thank everyone again for the support and contributions throughout the season. I feel the competition has provided a much needed escape and I have enjoyed running it. I confirm I will be back to run next season's competition. I hope you have all enjoyed it and hope to see you all back for 2022-2023.

So rest up and we'll start it all again in 75 days time.

Cheers,
