zorbed not valid for round 12 even though ZORBING is in. Cos obviously when you go zorbing you're not actually zorbing.

There might be a lot of competition but Alastair Stewart is probably the single worst DC guest.

FOYAITES in R13...this is hands down the best game I've seen since Noel McIlvenny and Eoin Jackson's Quarter-Final on 19 December 2017! Such a shame Becky had to lose in the crucial...oh well and tomorrow's challenger is already know. Who shall prevail? :)

That's an error surely? I'd say you should ticket that if you haven't.

No (unless premium has it in). zorbing is in (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/zorbing) as is Zorb as a noun (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/zorb) but no lower case zorb. Googling suggests that it hasn't entered common usage in other forms yet.

This was a very high standard for a heat game. A lot of good players from Chelmsford this series it seems.

Big up the Essex massif.

Totally second this, minus the FOYAITES comment...didn't spot this at all. Was a great shame anyone had to lose this.
