Well, it's all over bar the shouting, so who did what, won what, wore what and cocked what up?
The theme word for the day was 'football', and the prize of a DVD football trivia quiz (hosted by who else but Sir Jeff Stelling himself) went to Jeremy Miles for his word HEADER in the first round.
The ratings prize, given to the highest-placed player from the bottom ha of the c4countdown ratings, went to 6th-placed Dinos Sfyris for his 4 wins and 353 points.
5th place, with 4 wins and 373 points, was Bevatron Prime himself!
4th place, on 5 wins and 350 points (but not getting his decider with Charlie) was Junaid!
3rd place, with 5 wins and 352 points (skin of teeth time there) was Dan Van, continuing his march up the ratings.
2nd place, with 5 wins and 375 points- exactly matching his COLIN 2008 performance- was the ginger assassin, Jono!
But the winner, unbeaten on 6 wins- only the second time in COLIN history that's ever happened- and 374 points, taking home £20, the COLIN perpetual trophy and free entry into COLIN 2010, is none other than Jon Corby!
Congratulations to all prizewinners, and many thanks to everyone for making the day a success- to my Mum and Mark Tournoff's partner Sue for helping out behind the scenes, to the Church Hall's staff for helping out whenever needed, and most importantly, to the 24 men and women who came and played and made the fifth COLIN the success it was. Best COLIN ever? Quite possibly.
