WXV Preliminary Finals: Dublin v Pacific, Seoul v New Delhi

[Purple 77]

Dublin delight as Pacific lose fight

It's more common than you'd might think; saving your worst score til finals. Unfortunately for Pacific, that's what happened as a XV without Barlow, Hurley, Lyons and Witts hit the wall. Captain Bont failed to deliver, whilst Dustin Martin looks primed to lead Dublin into their third Grand Final. Aside from the McDonald brothers, this was an even performance led particularly well by a 495 scoring midfield. They'll have to do even better next week though.

But for now, we farewell Pacific as they sail onto the shores of the trade season. Congratulations at a ripping year

Seoul superb; Tigers Tumble

New Delhi has added another loss to the minor premiership ledger, now sitting 0-6 for premierships. It was another final where the worst was saved til last, which was just a real shame to see such a consistently dominant team exit the comp in this manner. Houli & Ross did well to add some respectability on the Sunday, as a Seoul midfield was at the very best in combining for 523 + 146 (C) points. Good, god. The Magpies - like the Tigers would have - fully deserve their place in the premiership bout and, for one last time, will call on KelliveField to produce.

For now, we say goodbye to New Delhi; who I'm sure are already deep in talks for highly beneficial trades. It was a breathtaking season.

Elephants avenge Tigers

That was quite a win for Mumbai! The minor premiers in Port Moresby join Pacific in an awful weekend for the club HQ. But in an even 8 v 8, and both seniors playing, this was as fair of a match as you could expect. Bloody well done MUMBAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII

Siberia sing for Spetsnaz

Pyongyang couldn't make it a double for South Korea, but I don't think they'd mind. Siberia keep the dream alive and will push for Russia's first premiership next week! It was especially impressive, given the Chollimas had an extra player too!

Congrats JB, far too good mate and deserve to be in the GF. Good luck

[JBs-Hawks]

Unlucky Rico,  was very nervous facing you guys this week and watching Crouch for the first 3 quarters friday had me very worried!  No doubt you will be back again next year!
