After Saturday

Big upset brewing! If London can maintain its HGA of 60, they'll win this match I reckon with a mighty fine score. Both teams putting in - but I just sense London could slip here.

Neither team looking great, but you'd suspect regulation performances from Hurn and Crouch will get the job done here for Dublin.

Both 10 players played and it's clear Beijing are the 100 point better team so far. They should take it from here you'd suspect... but come on Tokyo, show something!

Cairo aren't going too bad, but Pacific are just a big Bont performance away from posting another 160. Too strong.

Interesting! NDT are putting in this match, clearly determined not to receive the wooden spoon (more on that later). Danger game for Toronto, a lot is riding on this!

Moscow aren't going too bad and a big Parker score will do them wonders. But, Mexico City look well in control and should win from here.

Oh my Christchurch! Big Sean Darcy has CATAPULTED into clear favourites against the much fancied Cobra outfit :O an unlucky late selection adjustment means CCJ is stranded as R1, all but killing the Cobras chances from here you'd think. Or does it?

Guthrie has put in a stinker, whilst Danger put in a blinder, to all but seal this match on Friday. I swear this happens to New York a lot (opposition goin big).

Well, flower me Parish. Assuming HGA of 12, and Fritsch comes on for Smith, I'm 12 points ahead with 1 extra played. Advantage BA, but not over yet. Damn I wish I played Lynch over Frost.

Royal Ruckus

What an upset! I basically called London's season dead last week, but there may be hope yet! To do it against likely prelim finalist PNL is quite special. One of London's very best, congrats!

The Reindeers were left to rue 3 forwards scoring less than 40. Ouch.

Dublin inflict Jaguar Dismay

A disappointing result for Rio, whom could have pipped Dublin this week. The win marks Dublin's 4th in a row, all of which coming from a score in the 130s :-X

Samurai Stayin Alive

I asked them to show something this morning, and that they did! Sure, it relied on several Pandas showerting the bed, but someone had to stand up and that was young Cody Weightman!

Meanwhile, Beijing experienced one of the biggest one-week drop-offs in recent memory, scoring approx 360 points less than they did last week. This loss hurts.

Islanders pull feet out of Quicksand

They looked very stuck for a moment there, but the Islanders efforts pre-Sunday were enough to hold off the fast finishing Sands. The game was in fact decided by HGA in the end... that win would have been very handy for Cairo.

Tigers shock Wolves

The Tigers have officially refused a priority pick, and also showed it does not want to claim another wooden spoon with quite the home-wrecking win against the Wolves, whom are delicately placed going into the final 3 games of the year.

A proud day for New Delhi.

Darcy claims another

Speaking of teams refusing handouts, the Christchurch Saints have said NO to Priority Pick 1 and played for pride instead; an excellent choice. The catalyst for this huuuuge upset is Captain Sean Darcy, who just fell short of the elusive double-ton!

For Cape Town, it all went horribly wrong, so in a way, it doesn't matter who they lost to. The loss does hurt top 4 chances, though.
