Hi all
Week 1 of the finals was played tonight, with not all results going according to plan for the season leaders.
In div 5, the minor premiers Gremlins went down to 4th place Motley Cues 13-8, whilst the 2nd placed team in div 2 were comprehensively beaten, the DV8s winning 13-4 over the Runouts. 2nd in div 3 also met a similar fate, the Cougars defeating the Demons 13-5.
This leaves a few of the higher placed finishers fighting to stay in the finals, while a couple of teams who just made it are now looking at a second chance.
Next week also sees the higher placed finisher gaining home ground advantage, before we move to neutral venues for the preliminary finals and Grand Finals.
As always, good luck to all 20 teams next week, and to the 10 facing elimination – at least go down fighting! Click below for full results.1st Div
