WORLD CUP HIGHS & LOWS

We now know the finalists of the World Cup, but not the highest scoring teams at the time of going to print.

So when they watched the final between Holland and Spain, Alastair Neilly and Ryan McIlhagga knew they were 100 winners of the Highs & Lows game. Both had the winning cards for the two finalists.

Alastair is of course “mine host” at the Imperial Bar and bought the ticket there.

Ryan is from Cromkill and bought his ticket from David McCaig.

25 has been won by Malcolm Ashe of the Fairhill Bar. He had a card for the two lowest scoring teams, Algeria and Honduras, who both failed to score.
