Fantasy Fellrunning 2019

[Lova]

Hi Bill,

Please could I make my second sub, Rachel Pilling replacing Anna Lupton for the last few races?
That should leave me with a pint to spare.
Thanks!

So the cup final will be between 'Keep Them Dogies Rollin' (Weetabix Power) and 'The Dark Peaky Blinders' (The Elk).

It will be held at Grisedale Horseshoe on Sep 7th.
I like to make the final harder, since you've both proved yourself expert at picking winners, so lets pick 6 guests alongside your two normal team runners - for a total of 8 in the cup final team.

Just realised (to my dismay!) that Borrowdale didn’t count this year... I’d been banking on that to get me out of the relegation mire...!!

I've got similar relegation worries Travs. None of my team ran Creagh Dubh, three of them racing in Italy. I will be embarrassed if, having won last year I get relegated this year. (Just like Man City in 1937/38)

Bu44r, I've been away too long and forgot about the best competition of the year.

I'll just have to wait for 2020.
