Separated by a mere five points there is still all to play for as The Journalists and The Celebrities go in to the final round of the Hackers Cup at Port Royal Golf Course today.The Journalists hold a slender advantage after emerging from the first round of fourballs ahead 38½-33½, and a back nine collapse by Gary McAllister and Rhodri Williams may yet come back to haunt The Celebrities.McAllister and Williams were four-up at the turn during their match against Clive Aggran and Glenn Jones yesterday, only for The Journalists to peg them back and eventually win on the 18 green for a 9½-8½ victory.Peter Corrigan and Philippa Kennedy led the way for The Journalists, defeating Sir Steve Redgrave and Charlotte Jackson 13-5, while Michael Lynagh and Gethin Jones had to best day for the Celebrities, beating Nick Perry and Josh Ball 10½-7½.In the final fourball, Keevil ‘The Captain’ Burgess and Kyle Lightbourne saw off Dougie Keen and Minty Clinch 9½-8½ in a game that went down to the wire.With 144 points up for grabs in today’s eight singles matches the cup is still in the balance and Sir Steve Redgrave, the Celebrities’ captain, is hoping for better things from his team in the second round when he will take on his counterpart, Corrigan.Singles draw: Sir Steve Redgrave v Peter Corrigan; Gary McAllister v Nick Perry; Keith Chuter v Clive Aggran; Keevil Burgess v Phillipa Kennedy; Michael Lynagh v Glenn Jones; Rhodri Williams v Josh Ball; Charlotte Jackson v Minty Clinch; Gethin Jones v Dougie Keen.
