The final matches are over and the winning team of the 2014 Lombard Cup is.....

The final six matches in the 2014 Lombard Cup have wrapped up and Team Carole (my team) won four of them over Team Veronica (Kristen's team). Here are the final numbers:

ROBERT MITCHUM (Team Veronica) defeated DEAN MARTIN (Team Carole) 10-8

PAUL NEWMAN (Team Carole) defeated WILLIAM HOLDEN (Team Veronica) 12-7

STEVE MCQUEEN (Team Carole) defeated MARLON BRANDO (Team Veronica) 12-6

FRED ASTAIRE (Team Carole) defeated VINCENT PRICE (Team Veronica) 13-6

JOHN WAYNE (Team Veronica) defeated BOB HOPE (Team Carole) 12-8

JACK LEMMON (Team Carole) defeated ROBERT REDFORD (Team Veronica) 16-3

So that means Team Carole through 21 matches retains the Lombard Cup by the count of 14-7.

I would like to thank Kristen of Journeys in Classic Film for helping me stage this competition once again and to all those who voted. We shall return next November with another Lombard Cup with a different theme.
