When soon to be 20 year old Kayleigh Simmonds and friend Pierre Towers of Bognor Regis entered an online World Cup Competition in June, little did they realise how well they would do! Aimed at AVG Resellers, the completion required entrants to predict the winners of the group, quarter final, semi final and final stages of the World Cup.
At the end of the group stage, Kayleigh and Pierre were listed in the top 11 predicters in the competition having predicted over 70% of results correctly; at the end of the Quarter final stage, they had predicted all 8 results correctly and were in joint first place. The semi finals did not go entirely their way, however, they chose Germany to win over Spain. But, this did not alter the results and Team Towers are still in joint 1st place with only the final on Sunday to go. At the beginning of the competition entrants were asked to answer a tie break question in the event of there being two winners. They were asked to choose who the top scorer of the entire World Cup would be. Kayleigh chose David Villa of Spain – who is currently listed as the official top scorer of the Cup so far. Kayleigh will be spending her 20th birthday on Friday nervously awaiting the game on Sunday.
