It was a great comeback today by the Live Team to add some respectability to the score but ultimately it wasn't enough.
However one shining light was Ben Savage who takes home the trophy as the overall points champion. He claimed 155 points for his third place today and quarter-final effort yesterday to narrowly collect the prize ahead of Andrew Jeffreys, Steve Leonard and Peter Aristidou who were all on 150 points. Congratulations Ben!

Aristidou Levels It Up
The chips are looking even once more. While the teams prize is already locked away, there is some cash up for grabs but also there is the prestige of the individual points winner on the line.
A beautiful trophy is up for grabs and at the moment it's a race between two. Ben Savage is in front overall, and will remain there if Peter Aristidou wins, but if Dave Lee can take it down if he is victorious here.
