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.

Hi all
I had intended to send you this info on the weekend, but did not have internet access, so my sincere apologies.
The Nine Ball will held this weekend at The Maram. Both days have been reserved to complete the tournament, however in recent years we have been able to finish up on the Saturday evening. This will be sorted out depening on how the day goes and how many entries we finish up with. At this point, it is more than likely going to be a one day event.

Hi all
Round 3 of the Open Doubles was held over the weekend at The Maram. Both of the remaining groups were extremely tight, with only the last round sorting out the top 4 in Group 2 on the Saturday, while Group 1 on the Sunday saw a playoff for 4th, where any of up to 5 pairs were in with a chance of making with half an hour to go.
The Top 8 and Top 4 will be held next Saturday and Sunday at The Maram, with some great play expected. Well played to the 8 pairs who bowed out this weekend, it was a great showing evidenced by how close the groups were.
Come down and watch the final 8 do battle on Saturday, play starts at 10:30am.

Please be aware that over the next week or so, access to the ACTEBA website may be intermittent as the site is moved to another hosting provider.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Hazilias and Canopy IT Solutions for their valued support, and wish them the best of luck in their new business direction.
Hosting of the ACTEBA website will now be provided by Chapelli Unlimited, with many thanks to Paul and Lissi for their generous offer of assistance. I look forward to working with our new hosting providers to expand the website and services offered online to members.
[update 27/8: most of the move has been completed, however at the moment the forums are offline. I’ll attempt to get them back up and running later this evening or tomorrow.]
Cheers,
Matt Kendrick
