We all drew a blank in the Grey Cup Final. Saskatchewan 25-17 Montreal was the final score. A last minute Hail-Mary for Montreal was fumbled over the line to give the Roughriders the points.

4 points still up for grabs F1 and three that start next month but finish in January (Ashes Cricket, Darts and Africa Cup of Nations).
Matt Fitzpatrick won the season ending tournament in a 19th hole play-off against Rory McIlroy but 2nd was more than enough to win his 7th Race to Dubai Trophy, one behind Colin Montgomery's Order of Merit titles.

England qualified for next Summer's World Cup unbeaten and without conceding a goal, though a combination of good goalkeeping by Henderson and some poor finishing by Albania made sure of the blank again. Despite losing to Greece, Scotland still have a chance to top Group C as Denmark stumbled to a draw against Belarus, who previously hadn't picked up a point. The Jocks host Denmark in a winner takes all final game at Hampden on Tuesday., though the Danes can also win the Group with a draw. Wales and North Macedonia meet in Cardiff on Tuesday for another muck or nettles scrap for 2nd place in their Group. Belgium only need a point against pointless Liechenstein to secure top spot.

I read yesterday that the current RU Egg Chasing "Autumn International Money Grab" is going to be turned into a tournament from next year. It will be somewhat drawn out however as the "first half" of the games will be played in the Northern Hemisphere in November and the "second half" will be played in the Southern Hmisphere in June. Nothing like keeping those airmiles down, eh? It will also be played every other year so it doesn't clash with major tours and World Cups.
