MM Links Results February 2012 Week 3

[gen2]

The 'Baron Brian' challenged you all with a mixed bunch of mongrels this weekend. The right answers were sitting there begging to be chosen but did you select any of them?
You were seeking the following links.

MAX WALL
IRISH ROVER
PRINCE CONSORT
SPOT CHECK

I hope our younger players don't feel disadvantaged by the reference to Max Wall but I thought that should have been offset by the give-away 'Irish Rover'. After all, 'The Baron' did sign off saying 'County Antrim'.

My condolences to 40% of players for whom Valentine's Day obviously didn't work out thus forcing them to seek their Prince Charming here. Sadly it was not to be.

So how did the results go?

[gen2]

No double hitters this week but eight of the first 16 players scored 2 points from just three of the links.

MAX WALL was the silly walk favourite of Rockfordill and Lysander.
IRISH ROVER sailed the boat for BigMac, Evsajo and Slaney.
And a quick SPOT CHECK revealed points for Tearinghair, OwlLady & Christiana

The day progressed with a few singles being claimed here and there until teatime when along came SHAZZA to claim a first hit on PRINCE CONSORT for 2 points.
Not only that, but she matched 'Max Wall' AND 'Spot Check' for two singles as well.
Therefore, for being the only Triple Hitter (indeed, the only multiple hitter) and highest scorer I declare:

*** THE HOTSHOT ***
*** OF THE WEEK ***
*** IS S*H*A*Z*Z*A ***
Congratulations.

Lysander finished top of the table for January and is well placed for a repeat performance this month.
Right behind her is a whole pack of chasers, any of whom could take crown next weekend so with all to play for, don't forget to join us all next weekend to see how it all plays out.
Same time Same place,
so until then
Happy Linking

Thank you Gen2. Mr Alba and I will go and sulk in a corner :)

Well done to the point scorers.

[tearinghair]

Thanks Baron Brian and Gen2, and well done to all scorers. Oh, and thanks gen2 for the answers to the Flowers of Scotland quiz. I could kick myself for missing daffodil, but the other four were fair game!

[paulineward]

Oh well....there's always next week! :-(

[evsajo]

Can't believe it ! 2 points this week too ! Thanks Baron Brian, and thanks Gen for working out the points.

[BigMac]

Many thanks, gen2.
Think I might quit whilst (nearly) ahead.
Congrats to Shazza and the leader, Lysander.
