PP Hall of Fame

fame

Once again, PNE had a championship campaign that promised so much but, as usual, reverted to the norm and ended in a damp squib. No Play-offs, no relegation, but an interesting season that had its ups and downs. Support for the manager from the fans was sweet and sour, as whenever we got close to success, PNE decided to remove their socks and shoes and shoot themselves in the foot. And so for another year we managed to avoid any success whatsoever.

We seem to have been here before, haven't we, but this year was even more frustrating than normal, with our exciting team of promotion prospects topping the table at Christmas before collapsing into a bunch of hopeless misfits and finishing the season with a miserable string of five defeats. Just how this remarkable and alarming transformation was accomplished is, of course, the subject of lively and erudite debate in other places, so we will leave it to them to draw their wise conclusions.

So onto more important matters.........

The renowned PP competition welcomed a new champion as Mark (WorcesterWhite) took the PP crown in only his second season after a creditable 6th place finish in his first campaign. Congratulations to Mark on his victory, in the end by a comfortable margin. Mark started off the campaign quietly before going on a stunning run in October to put him on top of the table before a slight blip in January left him in 3rd place. Not to worry, a repeat of his exploits from October in February put him back on top, and from then on, he never looked back on his way to the title. So Mark becomes the 15th different name to be engraved on the PP trophy, and a very worthy winner indeed.

The top 6 were completed in order by Barb (Snow White), Glen (Glenpne), Keith (Sagwhite), Mike (Pneireland), and Martin (Pne_Junior) who achieved his first top six finish. Gary (costablanca white) won his second cup competition to add to his PP Trophy collection and move up to third in the all-time leaderboard.

Congratulations to the above, and thanks to everyone else who played and kept going until almost the end of the season. We would like to see you all back in August for what will be our twentieth season of Preston Predictions, to witness yet again PNE's rise to the play-offs at the end of March before slipping unfathomably but inexorably into midtable oblivion.

Happy summer to you all!

After being presented with the trophy, Mark celebrated his success with friends in the Orchard!!
