So after the chaos of last season we have reached the end of a season that was somewhat normal.  I am sure all of you enjoyed being allowed to have your family members cheer you on during this last week as you made your predictions!!!  

Lord Snooty put in a great finishing week and amassed 21 points, scoring on 6 games including a CR on the Gamball.  BBB cemented his place at the top of the table with a good 17 points, I think he can now call himself Champion!!  Sanjay put up a fight for the runners-up spot finishing 3rd with 16 points, but with St Charles right behind him it might not be quite enough.

The bottom 4 in the table - Amelia, Themaclad, Twerton and Derby - were separated by just a few points this week, so we are not likely to see much movement in the final table.  AAA  comes in 9th and Bomber lived up to his name and bombed in the final week!!

BBB - 354
St Charles - 297
Sanjay - 290
Lord Snooty - 271
Bomber - 267
AAA - 252
Derby - 244
Amelia - 241
Themaclad - 209
Twerton - 200

So our mini Premier League pretty much mirrored the real thing!!  The Champions were ahead most of the season and ran away with it, the real battle came behind for the Euro spots, mid table didn't change much and the relegation spots were confirmed a few weeks ago!!  

BBB can now be deservedly crowned 2020-21 Champion!! He led most of the way and was really never under any pressure from the halfway mark of the season onwards.
St Charles and Sanjay battled backwards and forwards for the runner-up spot and in the end SCO hung on by just 7 points!!
Lord Snooty had a rollercoaster season but his great last week saw him snatch 4th place in the end. Bomber just ran out of gas in the end but he was able to stay ahead of AAA.
The real battle was for the relegation PO spot where Derby and Amelia battled for the final few weeks.  In the end Derby just managed to stay ahead of Amelia and therefore we will see Amelia fight for her PL place on more time next week!!
Themaclad and Twerton finished pretty much where they were all season!!

Thanks to everyone for taking part, its for most of us to rebuild and get used to a new League in real life!!  Have a great summer and I hope we will all come back next season refreshed and ready to go again!!

Cheers
SCO

Thank God it's over. A season that started with so much promise, quickly became a struggle, was lit up by occasional moments of quality but ultimately faded into disappointment. Well, that's my prediction league experience, how was it for everyone else?

With certain exceptions, the final week of the season was a good one - only 1 failed gamball, everyone scoring on the scoreball and 7 players in double figures. Lady jane saved her best for last, heading the table with her best score of the season thanks to a full set of positive balls. DD and Somerset share 2nd place with identical records with Stairs just a further point behind, thankful for not playing his gamball. Joker and BaggieOne also had a good week, Joker sharing the week's high of 2 correct scores but losing out on his bonus. Silver also achieved double figures but will that be enough to keep his season alive?

We won't talk about the other 2 players.


And so, the final Championship able (cue drum roll, fireworks etc etc)

Minizin 303
BaggieOne 297
Silver 284
Somerset 282
Stairs 280
Zinman 273
DD 263
Joker 248
Lady Jane 232

So the regular season comes to an end with Minizin crawling over the line to claim the Championship title. BaggieOne recovered fro a poor start to the season to claim the second promotion spot and holding off strong late challenges. It was a close battle for the play off position with both Somerset and Stairs making late chargs that were not quite enough to prevent Silver from holding on to 3rd place. Zinman's last week gambles failed miserably to leave him some way adrift. The bottom 3 were unchanged though at least Lady Jane ended her season on a high after a pretty miserable year.

Congratulations to Minizin and BaggieOne and good luck to Silver in the play-off. Thanks to everyone for sticking through this for 9 months (it was probably easier than sticking with Albion!) - I'm off to spend more time with my hammock in the California sunshine, trying not to log on to various websites to see who we've appointed/bought/sold.......

So we have one more week to go with the Relegation/Promotion Playoff which will see Amelia take on Silver!! Bomber will post the fixtures when he feels like it!! Good luck to both of you!!

May the best person win.
