It was a disappointing weekend for upstart’s tipsters last round, with the team averaging four correct winners out of eight – yes we can actually add and divide as well as write!

However there were still some big changes on the leader board, particularly at the top. Sports editor Ben Waterworth tipped six correct winners to take his season tally to 42. He now sits in second spot, two tips behind leader Jessica Buccolieri, who has seemingly been at the top of the table since the beginning. Natalie Savino finally rose from the bottom of the ladder, tipping six correct winners last round.
