 | Mike Lee I shall practice for a few days but having just survived spoilage a few days ago, I can’t see lightning striking twice. |
| Mike Lee I’m now done :(
|
 | Matthew Tassier A dominant performance from Dave means he progresses from the penultimate round as the Strongest Link. Elliott overtakes Tom as tournament top cumulative scorer, which could yet prove to be important in the final round. |
| Matthew Tassier Of course, two of this round's players must miss out on the final leg of this year's epic quest. In 5th place it's been a great tournament for Mike, a big improvement on his previous best finish of 13th. And finishing 4th after only missing out here on tiebreaks thanks to Tom's impressive total tournament points, it's Keith, outdoing his 5th place from 2019 when he previously reached this stage. So, Keith and Mike you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Keith C Williams Thanks so much for an excellent tournament, Matthew! Best of luck to the finalists :) |
