"Surely," we said to ourselves, "surely when we next update the Celebrity Challenge leaderboard our Irish Times golf experts won't still be propping up the table." Well, having resisted pleas (and stuffed brown envelopes) to turn the table upside down, we, with great reluctance, bring you the latest positions. And yes, there they are, again, in 10th and 11th. Not only are they 10th and 11th, they are some distance short of troubling Eddie Power's ninth placed Power Rangers. In fairness to Philip Reid, however, it should be pointed out that he has doubled his score since we last checked in week 19, thus creating an intriguing battle for last place with his colleague Dermot Gilleece. Philip's recovery is in no small part due to three desperate - sorry, well thought out - transfers in week 22 when he dumped Steve Elkington, Costantino Rocca and Paul Azinger. In came Justin Leonard, Jim Furyk and Lee Westwood and the Super Seven have, since then, recovered. A bit.
Meanwhile at the top, RTE's Myles Dungan has swapped places with jockey Francis Woods to lead the race for the £1,000 prize to a charity of our celebrities' choice - GOAL stands to benefit if Dungan holds on while the Injured Jockey's Fund is Woods' nomination.
Unfortunately Paul McGinley's Up the Dubs have plummeted from fifth to eighth, but that's hardly surprising since he has only five players in his team.
