FINAL RESULT: 1-2; -2.04pts

Weibring/Thorpe LOST by 6
Quigley/Thorpe LOST by 5
Fergus/Nielsen WON by 5

Double-whammy on Weibring and Quigley as they reverted to their former selves after such encouraging performances last week. Thorpe only finished in 25th place, so it was not unrealistic to expect them to better that mark.

D.A. Weibring to beat Jim Thorpe -102 @ Expekt
Both players have very good records in this event, but Weibring has still finished ahead of Thorpe in each of the last two years and even though he has been struggling with a shoulder injury, he has still finished ahead of Thorpe in four of their last six common events. Weibring looked to be back to his competitive best last week and, if so, he should easily beat Thorpe again.

Dana Quigley to beat Jim Thorpe +102 @ Pinnacle
Will oppose Thorpe with another outright selection who appears to have returned to full health. Quigley can't match Thorpe in terms of course form, though it is still very solid in itself, but when Quigley is fit there really is no comparison between these two players. Even when Quigley has been feeling weak and low on energy, he has beaten Thorpe in half of their ten common events this year and beforehand, he had beaten Thorpe in 15 of their previous 18 matches. Quigley looks to have his energy back last week so the latest set of medication must have worked and that should mean a return to a Quigley dominance in this matchup.

Keith Fergus to beat Lonnie Nielsen -122 @ Five Dimes
Straightforward selection. Fergus has finished ahead of Nielson in seven of their ten common events this year, in each of the last two years in this event and closed with a confidence-boosting 69 last week in difficult conditions.
