Group A
Themaclad 9
Amelia 9
Twerton 7
A.A.A. 5
Minizin 5
Zinman 1
And another poor week this week with no one getting into double figures, not helped by a whitewash on the Gamball and only one player getting anything positive on the Bonus. Unfortunately for the rest of the Group A players, the one player to score points on the Bonus was the leader Themaclad, who along with Amelia ended in first place on 9 points. He managed a CS to go with is bonus, while Amelia had 2 CSs but missed on all her balls, including the dreaded Scoreball being played on a 0-0 draw so even that cost her a point and the outright lead for herself this week.
She wasn't the only one to put her scoreball on the Swansea game, Twerton was also docked a point so finished 3rd with 7 points. AAA and Minizin tied with 5 points each. AAA was the first player to choose not to play the Gamball and it was the right move for him and saved him a point as he got it wrong anyway. Minizin did manage a CS and 2CRs but missed on his Bonus and Gamball.
Zinman's woes continued again, this time he ended with just a single point and finished bottom for the 4th week out of 7 and in the bottom 2 for the 6th week so far!!! We can now see why he was part of the decision to remove promotion and relegation this season!!!
81 Themaclad
69 Twerton
47 Amelia
44 AAA
43 Minizin
30 Zinman
Themaclad increases his lead over Twerton to 22 points, and Twerton is now matching this gap from himself to 3rd placed, a spot now occupied by a resurgent Amelia!! The two Zins occupy the two bottom spots with 13 points separating them.
Group B
SCO 10
Derby 9
Lady Jane 7
BaggieOne 6
Snooty 5
BBB -1
Stairs -no show -2
Well it was better than last week but only just as Group B recorded their second lowest total of the season, not helped by Stairs' absence (I hope this was forgetfulness rather than something more serious). Only 1 game produced a negative score with Swansea's failure to beat Stoke blowing a couple of bonus balls. Tip for future weeks - I suggest we all wait for Lady Jane to post her predictions and then copy her gamball - once again she got this game spot-on, her 3rd gamball maximum and so far she only only 2 failures on this ball.
However it's not Lady J but SCO who tops the table this week scraping double figures from just 2 correct predictions. He was helped by them both being correct scores and one of them being the bonus. Derby had a more normal week, 2 correct scores from his 4 correct results but held back by his ball failures. Lady Jane scored 8 points from her gamball but minus 1 from the rest to sit in 3rd spot. BaggieOne also got the gamball result right but lost a point on his scoreball to sit 1 point ahead of Snooty.
BBB had something of a nightmare with just 1 correct result and a scoreball - not enough to avoid a minus score but he was saved from bottom spot by Stairs' absence.
80 Lady Jane
61 Derby
52 Snooty
51 SCO
48 BBB
47 Stairs
45 BaggieOne
Lady Jane maintains her healthy lead at the top with Derby edging clear of the rest in 2nd place. The rest are covered by just 7 points with a bit of shuffling this week - Snooty and SCO both climbing 2 places, BBB dropping 2 and Stairs falling from 3rd to 6th after his no-show. Lady Jane's mastery of the gamball is shown from the 30 points she has gained from it so far - nobody else is in double figures and 3 players are negative. Stairs non appearance gave him his season's best gamball score!
Thought it might be interesting to take a look at the standings with regards to the end of season Play Offs where the overall Champion will be decided. If the season ended today here is how it would look:
Group Winners (Bye into Semis)
1. Themaclad (81 points)
2. Lady Jane (80)
Playoff spots (3 v 6 and 4 v 5)
3. Twerton (69)
4. Derby (61)
5. Lord Snooty (52)
6. SCO (51)
Eliminated
7. BBB (3 points off the POs)
8. Stairs (4)
9. Amelia (4)
10. BaggieOne (6)
11. AAA (7)
12. Minizin (8)
13. Zinman (21)
So while the current group leaders are building a nice lead, the trailing pack are all single digit points off getting into the play offs, with one notable exception in Zinman who is an unhealthy 21 points adrift of a post season run!!! We will post this every so often so that everyone can get focussed on the task at hand!!
