Start Town: 41=Hirwaun; End Town: 1=Any Port | ||
| Could be an interesting race! LeeB (40+1mt pays ChrisB 7 &
Andy 2) roll 4,2,5,4,6,2,4,6,3,2,5=43; Andy (38 pays ChrisB 2) roll
6,4,6,4,2,3,3,2,5,2,3=40; ChrisB (39+1mt pays Lee 2) roll
5,1,2,4,2,6,3,4,4,2,1=34. Lee & Andy both arrive on the 11th roll
leaving ChrisB out in the cold. At the start of the race LeeB had 185 cash and Andy had 191 therefore Andy has the priority move and wins the run by a whisker! Final Result: 1st Andy 211; 2nd LeeB 195; 3rd Andrew 129; 4th Dave 105; 5th ChrisB 61; 6th Kevin 33 |

| Andy (33 pays Dave 5 & ChrisB 2) roll 3,5,3,6,3,2,5,6; Dave & Chris (44) roll 4,1,2,3,5,5,6,4,
so Andy wins easily and with no other opposition Dave/Chris come in 2nd. On the scores so far LeeB (192) & Andy (191) are neck & neck for the magic 200!! |
