Derby Dead Pool - 1999

More teams, more hits but same result as Drunkasaskunk retains the title...

News of the World

The DDP got a bit of publicity from the "News of the Screws".
Strange to think that the paper no longer exists, while the DDP soldiers on!.

Notable debuts include Mr C and The Vyrdolak. This was a cracking year. There may be 100+ hits these days but pound for pound, this was one of best years for the quality of hits. It was the first year to have two in one day. The final hit of the millennium, that of supercentenarian Sarah Knauss, was a hint of things to come as players start to wise up to the rules...
