Just because we are already promoted no need to stop food counting ... there are some records still to beat and also a small matter of the Golden Tin award.

Congratulations to our points scorers.
Dawlishclaret moves onto 293 points in 1st place. What an incredible points haul.
Jasper64 becomes the fourth counter to reach 200 points, remaining in 4th place.
Eloise Laws moves up to 9th place now on 162 points.
tarkys_ears is now on 122 points remaining in 12th place.
A big 20 points sees tally move up to 15th place now on 93 points.
Thanks for another great count Bosscat. 3 points for counting puts you on 80 points but you actually slip a place to 16th having been overtaken by tally.
Thanks to all the counters who took part and what a brilliant result for the mighty clarets.
Here's hoping we lift the trophy.
Up the Mighty Clarets.
