The Head Master Bites Dust

*Strolls in singing, ‘Another one bites the dust…’ when the head master took up this challenge he had talked up quite the game, well the results are in.

When your 'Daktari kutoka Loliondo fails you'

I’ll save you the winning speeches, quotes and adages, cause even I, can’t wait to see these results hehe. Remember the point system, it looked something like this :

4 points for an exact prediction, 2 points for a correct result i.e win or loss and 0 points for anything else, although we might award a point for a close call, a really close call.

Here we Go :

Head Master
Homeboyz win by +15 over Nondies. Result – Homeboyz 29-13 Nondies. Score = 3 (1 point away)
Impala win by +10 over Quins. Result – Impala 48-17 Quins. Score = 2.
Nakuru win by +5 over Strathmore. Result – Strathmore 17-9 Nakuru. Score = 0.
Mwamba win +10 over KCB. Result – KCB 28-0 Mwamba. Score = 0.

South Africa +15 over Wales. Result – South Africa 23-19 Wales. Score = 2.
New Zealand +5 over France. Result – New Zealand 62-13 France. Score = 2.
Australia +15 over Scotland. Result – Australia 35-34 Scotland. Score = 2.
Ireland +10 over Argentina. Result – Ireland 20-43 Argentina. Score = 0.

Total Score = 11/32 (34.38%)

Poghie

Nondies +10 over Homeboyz. Score = 0.
Impala by +15 over Quins. Score = 2.
Strathmore +5 over Nakuru. Score = 2.
KCB +7 over Mwamba. Score = 2.

South Africa +20 over Wales. Score = 2.
New Zealand +5 over France. Score = 2.
Australia +25 over Scotland. Score = 2.
Argentina +3 over Ireland. Score = 2.

Total Score = 14/32 (43.75%)

If that is not a convincing win, I don’t know what is, hehe even the bonus point couldn’t salvage Mr. Karanja (we all had a teacher by that name, right?)

Just for the record, both Lenana and Nairobi School lost their matches, wonder how that would have played out here, had we decided to throw our hats in the schools category.

A big thank you to Anthony Karanja for being a great sport, all the best in the season ahead, apart from when you are playing KCB, Nairobi School or the Boks.

Oranjo gathering himself after that beating.
