Big congrats to Nathan Townshend! After a couple of podium finishes last year – his first year of competing – Nathan bags a first win with a simple anagram but moulded into a lovely deceptive surface reading!
 
To prove his "comeback" last month was no fluke, Richard just misses out in second spot with another clue that has a beautifully deceptive surface. Back with a bang Richard!
 
Pete Milne visits the podium for the first time since his last win in June 19, with a cheeky little clue – and let's be fair, we never can resist a bit of toilet humour, can we?!
 
Fourth spot went to Andy Smith who managed to construct a coherent first letters &lit – no mean feat for an eight letter word!
 
Finally, congratulations to Alastair Gerrard, who with what is only his second attempt in our competition, sneaks into 5th place with a comp. anag. &lit. Welcome to the podium, Alastair!
 
As ever, thanks to all for the continued support – on to breakfast now!
