Hi all
My email has been cactus the last four days, so I hope you are receiving this in a timely manner.
Crap can some of the divisions get any closer? We have only 5 rounds left and in some cases 7th place can still finish 2nd!
Div 1 sees the Stickmen (still undefeated), Hammerheads and Embalmers clear of four teams chasing 4th spot, with just two points separating 4th from 7th.
2nd Div is all over the shop, with the Scorpions squeezing out yet another 13-11 win. Seriously – do not bet against these guys in a tight match! The rest of the teams are separated by only 4 points, which once again makes div 2 the tightest of the five. (Thank god my team won tonight!)
Division Three has a bit of gap from 4th to 5th, but byes will come into play with this later in the season.
In division 4, the Jets suffered their first loss (sorry guys) but they are still looking good for a finals berth. The rest of div 4 sees 4th and last divided by 3 points.
Div 5 is probably the only one where the bottom four teams need to play catch up in the last five rounds. The Gremlins still remain undefeated and 2nd to 4th look strong.
All that being said, no team is mathematically out of contention. Yes I love that word but a strong finish to the season will see a number of teams upset the apple cart in a big way.
Quick reminder – the NRL season starts this weekend so anyone who wants to get involved with the ACTEBA tipping comp can still call Cath Jones on 0419 487 498. And don’t forget the (belated) Canberra Day Comp on 21st March (damn that ACT Government and their late calendar changes…) – $40 entry fee but the comp is separated into 2 “divisions” with equal prize money. Once again, call Cath to get involved – all proceeds go to this year’s Nationals.
An updated player list is available from the Docs and Forms page.
Good luck to all teams for next week – and keep the excellent results reporting up!
