Courtesy of Jenny Williams (3 Dec 9:40pm)

I guess they're all still at the closing dinner, so here's some sketchy results from the final day to add to Gary's lunchtime report...

GB v Australia

Mark Avery lost to Stephen Forster on the bowling green
Chris beat Ian
Jonathan beat Trevor in 3
Rob had two sextuples
Keith won his match in 2 - becoming the only player in this MacRob series to be unbeaten in singles
Dave won his match in 3 - including one sextuple

Final score: GB 19 Aust 2

New Zealand v USA

Paddy and Aaron won
the other two matches were shared.

Final result there: USA 13 beat NZ 8

The 4th place teams' performance is generally the national anthem, though this time around the kiwis chose "God Save the Queen", ably assisted by David Openshaw. Alas their performance was somewhat underpar compared with 2003, rating a lowly 5/10 (compared with 9/10 for their 2003 performance of God Defend New Zealand).

Congrats to the Brits on an awesome performance.

Winner of the MacRobertson Shield predictions competition: Chris Williams. (second place to Brian Cumming, third Ian Lines). Congrats chaps. A bottle or two of some kiwi white will be on its way to Wales soon, and a pint for the place-getters when we're next in a tournament together.
