Championship of Champions XV Predictions (May Contain Spoilers!!!)
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2018 1:40 pm
Merry Christmas to all and hope you're having a nice holiday season to end off the year! As probably most of you would've been aware by now, we're having a Championship of Champions tournament from 02 to 22 January 2019 with Finalists from Series 73 to 78 battling out against each other to see who can truly claim the title of the "Champion of Champions", joining Dylan Taylor who was the last winner back in January 2016.
There was a thread for this CoC plus the discussion from 2017 and earlier in 2018 when Eoin Jackson, our fellow Series 77 Quarter-finalist started it here: http://c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php? ... a91c9bac48
The fixtures which were announced by the actual Countdown team can be viewed here: http://c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php? ... a91c9bac48
To aid in the list, I've bolded the Champions and underlined the Runners-up. Hopefully this will help...
Preliminary #1 (2 January): Jonathan Wynn (Series 73 Grand Champion) vs Phil Davies (Series 78 Semi-Finalist)
Preliminary #2 (3 January): Ann Dibben (Series 74 Runner-Up) vs John Cowen (Series 77 Semi-Finalist)
Preliminary #3 (4 January): Matthew Tassier (Series 73 Runner-Up) vs Dougie Mackay (Series 78 Semi-Finalist)
Preliminary #4 (7 January): Thomas Carey (Series 73 Semi-Finalist) vs Stephen Read (Series 76 Grand Champion)
Preliminary #5 (8 January): Paul Erdunast (Series 74 Grand Champion) vs Zarte Siempre (Series 78 Grand Champion)
Preliminary #6 (9 January): Tom Chafer-Cook (Series 77 Grand Champion) vs Martin Hurst (Series 75 Grand Champion)
Preliminary #7 (10 January): Bradley Horrocks (Series 77 Runner-Up) vs Andrew Macleod (Series 75 Runner-Up)
Preliminary #8 (11 January): Philip Aston (Series 78 Runner-Up) vs Noel McIlvenny (Series 77 Semi-Finalist)
The recordings were done from Monday 1 October 2018 to Wednesday 3 October 2018. The wait is almost over and we can't wait for the best of the best from different Series coming together!
I'll be writing a very short review each day and if you have any predictions, feel free to share them here!
(P.S. The poll will close on the day the Championship Final airs, so if you happen to be reading this in the near future, apologies but you will not be able to cast since the result is known. I have arranged the names according to the Series and how far each person it in the Finals. Also, I will allow re-voting for this poll if you're unhappy with your initial choice.)
