Once again we saw a few upsets this week, with only one minor premier (Shooters) qualifying first for the Grand Final. The Motley Cues, meanwhile, had faced an anxious wait after round 14 to see if other results would let them slip into 4th place. They did, and now two wins later they are in the Grand Final!
Big winners this week were the Runouts and the Dubber Ruckies, who both recorded 13-6 victories.
We say farewell this week to the Snipers, Katz, Demons, Kickers and Earls; all of whom finished the season in 4th place and should be looking to challenge for a Grand Final spot next season. Well done on a successful season.
Congratulations to the teams who qualified for the Grand Final in two weeks time: Hammerheads, DV8s, Cougars, Shooters and Motley Cues.
Next week’s preliminary finals will be played at neutral venues, which I will publish on Friday. (Note as these games are neutral, teams toss a coin for home or away on the scoresheet).
