    Oxfordshire the flag is nicely balanced around bullys head. The whole flag speaks of agriculture probably from a time past. Flintshire is a bit flat in comparison

    Two heavyweights here- loads of symbolism.
    Oxfordshire.
    The dark blue represents the university as it has done for centuries so thats the reason I m not deducting marks for a white river (The Thames)
    The Bull or ox represents the town itself and the the other two symobls the agriculture and forestry of the area.

    This could go deep in the tournament

    Love this when you view it with a black background, really makes it a better flag than when it's viewed on white background.

    It was a tie at the expiry time. So I'm gonna pick the best reason given and that came from BrianBoru00 in my opinion.

    I've gotten the Random Number Generator out again so anyone can meet anyone here. As before, 20 minutes per bout with usual T's & C's. First up is an Ireland vs England pairing. Let's check it out.

    It's Connacht again for me! Loyal to the fierceness (for now ;))

    Oxfordshire trumps here I think.. I do like the Connacht flag though and it would probably win for me if the arm attachment was cleaner

    I didn't vote for either of these first round, but I really don't like the Connacht* schizo flag, so going for Oxfordshire.

    * at least I spelled it right this time.

    Oxfordshire - whoever designed the Connacht flag clearly couldn't make their mind up what they wanted

    Connacht because it's not symmetrical and the two halves are completely different so it does make you go wtf

    Isle of Man - it's quirky, and not a fan of the colour combination on the other flag
