Round 3085 QUINSELL Results

[Tim Lodge]

We've got a three-way tie to be the winner of this round:  Shani Naylor, Ryan McGill, and Dan Widdis all scored 4 points.  Two of Dan's were for gussing the true def, and Ryan is ahead of Shani in the rolling scores, so Ryan becomes the new dealer.  Johnny Barrs and Debbie Embler also guessed that a QUINSELL is a rein for a horse.

I understand you've got some sort of celebration on the other side of the pond today, so have a good day!  Here, we're celebrating the pubs reopening, although I think I shall leave it a day or two before going to one.

Over to you, Ryan, for a back-to-back deal.

Oh no! I picked a bad day to be distracted by personal stuff.
