Series 87 Finals Predictions (With Poll)
Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2023 2:02 pm
There you have it! With just two more preliminaries to go this Series, we now know who the final eight are and it has really been nail-biting not least to say! Here are the matches as follows below:
Quarter-Finals #1 (21 June): Ronan Higginson (#1 Seed) vs Andrew Barrett (#8 Seed)
Quarter-Finals #2 (22 June): Cillian McMulkin (#2 Seed) vs Dave Cappleman (#7 Seed)
Quarter-Finals #3 (23 June): Peter Burke (#3 Seed) vs Greg Pearce (#6 Seed)
Quarter-Finals #4 (26 June): Graham Moonie-Dalton (#4 Seed) vs Adam Dexter (#5 Seed)
If you think this Series hasn't been exciting enough due to having less episodes than usual due to CoC XVI in January or because we have way fewer Octochamps compared to the average (You'd have to go back to 2010 just to find a Series with only two Octochamps, yes, that's how long it has been!), you're so wrong. Half of the finalists are returning contestants, Ronan having the second highest combined preliminary score in history, Cillian tying with Tom Stevenson in terms of achieving the highest ever score in a single game, and not to mention Adam and Graham sneaking in at the very end of the Series, ultimately denying a rematch between Ronan and Jonathan Seal! I can sense the competition is going to be there and it may turn out to be fiercer than expected, we shall see...
I'm not going to be sharing any predictions and will be writing a review of the episode each day as per the last nine Series, so if you have any feel free to post them here!
The poll will close on the day the First Quarter Final airs and you will be allowed to change your vote until then. Finally, if you happen to be reading this in the near future, apologies but you will not be able to vote.
