Footy Fans: That’s a Wrap for 2016

Mark Smith • September 22, 2016

Footy fans In 2016, for the first time, people2people’s popular footy tipping competition challenged all of our NSW and QLD footy tipping regulars as we shifted to AFL! Our new Melbourne office was of course delighted!

In 2016 we had just over 470 participants. As you would be aware, the year wasn’t without a few technical glitches (and I’m not referring to Essendon) with our scoring, but we worked through that ’injury cloud’ and therefore our platform in 2017, will be significantly improved. So who were our winners?

Congratulations to: THIRD PLACE getters, in a tightly contested four way tie: Greg Maher, Steve Wong, John Hebbard and Rachel Smith

Rachel Smith
