Delphi verdicts....


Hi folks. Sorry about the delay in getting the results of the octo-finals to you. I wanted to blog from Delphi after the debates because the Wi Fi access there is clean and consistent. However, I was told I had to get on the bus imediately as the debate I watched (NZ v Wales) was the last debate to finish and we were late. As I waited on the bus for close to 12 minutes while various stragglers from the apparently earlier finishing debates climbed aboatrd the buses, I speculated as to how many blogs I could have posted in that time.

There was then the 3 hour bus trip back to Athens (including dinner and another stop) and after that, a 2.5 hour wait for internet connectivity here at the hotel. And it's just come free now.

So, results..


Philippines 1 v England 2
Australia 3 v Netherlands 0
New Zealand 3 v Wales 0
South Africa 0 v Scotland 3
Peru 0 v Greece 3
Canada 2 v Ireland 1
Slovenia 0 v Singapore 3
Korea Republic 1 v Pakistan 2

Thanks for keeping the world updated, Claire! I'm sorry I couldn't be there this year...

Not the news I was hoping to see for our team in the last round but I'm glad to see the NZ team doing well! ^_^
