Hi all
Yes I know – I am putting the results out on a Thursday evening. Wonders never cease. [webmaster: additional apologies from me, was sick yesterday and could not update the site until friday afternoon]

This season is wrapping up really quickly and at least you haven’t had to listen to me dribble on all season. The finals are still wide open in 4 of the divisions, with as many as 7 teams still in the running in some cases. But amazingly, the closest division for the past 3 seasons has already wrapped up their top 4, Div 2. But the battle is still on for 7th.
Big winners this week were the Screamers and the Cougars, who both recorded 18-6 wins.
Div 1 sees the Embalmers and Hammerheads safely in 1st and 2nd, but behind them the Matildas, Stickmen, Schroomptons & Cage Rattlers are all fighting it out for 3rd and 4th. A match to watch next week is the Stickmen vs the Schroomptons, with the teams currently tied 4th. In what is the tightest div 1 for a few years, the Cage Rattlers are 1 point out of the finals, but could still finish last.
Well done in Div 2 to the Snipers, who have all but sealed the minor premiership, but the Pidos, Scorpions and Filthy Wanderers are all tied for 2nd, so anything can happen there. The bottom four could all still finish in last place, so there is still everything to play for despite the top 4 being settled.
The Crackpots have grabbed a finals spot in div 2, but the Demons, Pirates, Cougars and Bombers have only 3 points separating 2nd from 5th and the run home will be tight. The Pains have a 1 point lead over the Kickers for 7th, so any result for either team will be crucial.
The Div 4 Rail Runners are showing the rest of the league how it’s done with a perfect season so far (hope I haven’t jinxed them). But their success has left the chasing pack bunched up with only 3 points separating 2nd from 6th. Way too close to call. Plus, the last two teams are equal on points in the battle to avoid relegation.
The Defenestraters and Quick Silvers have grabbed the top 2 spots in div 5, along with home finals in round 1, but 5 other teams have a chance to fill the last two spots.
