FORAS: LOI Last Man Standing Competition

**micls** · 17/05/2009, 12:43 AM

And once again the most popular team loses.

Soon teams will be fearing the label of 'Last Man Standing favourite'

Only 5 people left now after 3 rounds, so series 2 could be starting up soon enough.

Bohs is the obvious pick next week & a few people still have that option. It would be good if competition lasted until the mid season break.

Bohemians v Drogheda United

Votes for round 4 are in.

Bohemians are once again favourite with 3 votes(lets hope the curse continues)
City and Derry each have a vote each.

As the competition is coming to an end soon, I'd appreciate if people would send feedback or suggestions to lastmanstanding@forastrust.ie as we'd like to start Series 2 soon after this one ends.

I'd be particularly interested to now if there's anything that would make those who didn't sign up the last time, sign up this time.

Thanks

Bohemians 1:0 Drogheda United
Bray Wanderers 0:2 Cork City
Derry City 0:0 Shamrock Rovers
Dundalk 0:1 St. Patricks

Derry City drawing tonight knocks someone out so down to 4 now.

Just bumping this thread so it doesn't get lost.

I'll be signing up next time alright, I like the fact the weeks scores are all online so you can see how you're doing and how many you're up against.

Thanks.

We were 1 minute away from a winner on Friday before Bohs pulled one back. People running out of the 'certain' teams to pick now, should be interesting.

I'm still watching teams even though i've been knocked out. Damn you to help Dundalk ..... if O'Brien was playing i would have been alright.

Was it a success financially for yourselves, if you don't mind me asking?

**El-Pietro** · 31/05/2009, 6:16 PM

the prize money was split 50-50 between the winner and FORAS

so FORAS made 680 euro off the back of this.

As mentioned below it was 50-50.

We made 680 (-paypal costs). Decent return especially if we can get it up and running as a regular thing. Everything helps at the moment.

Cheers, glad to hear. I'm looking forwadr to the next one- I mean, how difficult could it be to pick a few winning teams in a row?
