They think it's all over... it is now!
After more than six weeks of non-stop football, Spain have been crowned World Champions for the second time, bringing an end to a tournament that had everything โ unforgettable moments, disappointments, plenty of controversy, and lots of drama along the way. It certainly kept us entertained... even if the final wasn't the most exciting! And while Scotland's wait to make it beyond the group stages continues, we'll always have Boston!
With the World Cup now over, our Predictor Competition has also come to an end.
A fantastic 34 people took part, and the winner wasn't decided until the final whistle of the tournament!
Congratulations to Angela Sim, who finished on 156 points to claim the ยฃ135 first prize, just 2 points ahead of Andrew Gerrard, who takes home the ยฃ35 runner-up prize. ๐
โฝ The total number of goals scored during the tournament was 308. Nobody guessed it exactly, but a special mention goes to Nick Greet, who was closest with 312.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who took part. Together you've helped raise ยฃ170 for Bathgate Brass Band.
While it might not seem like a huge amount, every pound makes a real difference and helps us continue making music in our community. Your support is genuinely appreciated, and we never take it for granted.
We hope you'll continue to follow and support the band at our future events. Thank you once again, and congratulations to all our winners!
