WXV Round 7: Christchurch v Dublin in Top of the Table Clash

[Holz]

Dont worry Dublin fans, I think we notched up number 7.

FYP, you're the only one :P

who wouldn't like a classy organisation who quietly goes about their business of winning games.

[Nige]

Looks like Dom Sheed might get the WXVs Rising Star nomination this week. Hartung (121) was an emergency for London and didn't get a call up and De Goey (88) was OOP ruck for the Dillos.

Which organisation would this be? Can't be Dublin, they're the opposite of your description.

Sands Cower from Deafening Thunder

This week was the round from hell for Cairo. They had 4 players eligible for the sub rule, McGovern a late withdrawal and Ben Brown go down in the third quarter. Considering those circumstances... they actually scored pretty well. Beijing continue to impress, with Jackson Thurlow taking my eye with his third consecutive century!

Cobras devour Magpies

Watch out WXVs, we haven't heard the last of Cape Town after all! This is the third win from the Cobras of the year, and their third from the month! Seoul produced a slightly below average performance, despite the efforts from a few.

Dublin stamp authority in Top-of-table Clash

So it seems Christchurch aren't the team that will take down the team coached by a player abuser (the wooden spoon was found in the desk of Holz' office; covered in blood)... so which team will it be? I genuinely believe they will lose at least once before the finals... will be interesting to see who it will be.

Christchurch Saints (23.6.144) lost to Dublin Destroyers (26.10.166)

Suns too hot for Royals

Ah, this is more like the Mexico City we have come to be familiar with. The Suns had a plethora of high scores this week, easily overcoming the unfortunate low score of injured Nick Riewoldt. This team will most certainly go far in the finals, don't worry about that. London put in an ordinary game, but most teams do every now and then, so I wouldn't be too worried if I were them.

London Royals (20.10.130) lost to Mexico City Suns (24.6.150)

Moscow Outclass Islanders

Despite having fewer centurions, it was the all-round contribution of the Spetsnaz that won Moscow the game this week, with their HGA a respectably high 56. Pacific would be disappointed with the loss, but at least they didn't lose the match, Moscow won it. Moscow also break their pattern, in a pretty impressive performance to be honest... in fact, it was their highest score of the year.

Blood-thirsty Reindeers silence Revolution

Ok... I'll get off your case now, PNl... ahem, sir. THAT, was scary. Led by a crazed Matt Priddis, PNL have well and truly shown they deserve to be a top 4 team... maybe even shown they can beat Dublin, dare I say? New York were honourable in defeat, but losing Duncan potentially long-term would be the hardest thing to digest this week.

New York Revolution (21.11.137) lost to PNL Reindeers (26.7.163)

Rio, Heave-ho!

I always knew the Jaguars were capable of this... they may not make finals, but they may stop others teams from making it this year. But I think all the noise would be about New Delhi this week! This is the first time of the year that the Tigers were able to field 15 players, without playing a player OOP, and look at their score when that happens! They would have beaten 4 teams this week.

Berlin Brew Justice

A Nat Fyfe led Berlin has finally seen them win for the first time whilst scoring between 140-149 this year... in its 4th attempt mind you. It was 50/50 the whole game until Fyfe put the result beyond doubt with a true captain's knock of 146. This was a crucial win for Berlin, whereas Tokyo can rest on their previous results for the time being.
