nutty nigel 7,533 Posted May 10, 2017 Welcome PUPs to week 41 the the final week of our tenth Rays Funds season. This week we have Crabbycanary3 in charge and making the final selections. Crabby had a brilliant season last year and was a big miss earlier this season. But since he’s been back Crabby has made 10/14 correct picks and has a profitability of +4.13. I have no doubt that a full season next time will see him challenging at the top of both leagues. I think Crabby is the perfect PUP to have picking the final week and gives us a very good chance of closing with a win. Crabby will be making his selections on Friday afternoon so please get your picks in before then. Don’t forget your selection must be from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that our featured on Bill Hill. We have a £20 free bet to use up this week because of Snake’s really unlucky 5/6 last week so your picks have to be on Bill Hill this time. I’d like to say a massive thank you to all you PUPs for your efforts this season. You’ve been awesome! I know CSF Emma and our wonderful DS boys and girls really appreciate you and think you’re amazing. It’s been fun as always and you PUPs have made these threads a pleasure to look after as you always do. We’ve had ten great seasons and I’m already looking forward to season eleven. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Crabbycanary3. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you to success. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for the Community Sports Foundation and our fabulous Downes Syndrome boys and girls.. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Jeff... the thread is yours.......[:)]......... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always I leave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :- Carve their names with pride.Yankee,5,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,5, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim,3, Norfolkchance1,2, Scooby,3, Trent Canary,3, Cosmic Twin,5, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary,3, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox,2, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo,2, Mr Bump, Kathy,2, Til1010, Snake-eyes, Vindo,2, NWC, Hughesy, Gregt, GMF,3, SwindonCanary, Twidio, Hector Brockelbank, Lake District Canary,2, Bor Bor Bor, Yellowfuture, Chellecity, Diesel Doris, Lessingham Canary, Molly Windley, Parma Ham’s gone mouldy, Feedthewolf, AJ, JB, PurpleCanary, Hoola Han Solo, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £2019 for the Community Sports Foundation.
