[ossie85]

The last round!


Round 17

Home Team		Score		Score		Away Team		Location
Cape Town Cobras		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		New Delhi Tigers		Newlands Cricket Ground
Seoul Magpies		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Cairo Sands		Seoul World Cup Stadium
London Royals		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Beijing Bears		Wembley
Berlin Brewers		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Tokyo Samurai		Olympic Stadium, Berlin
Moscow Spetsnaz		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Dublin Destroyers		Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow
Toronto Wolves		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers		Rogers Centre, Toronto
Wellington Warriors		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		New York Eagles		The Basin Reserve
Buenos Aires Armadillos		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Mexico City Suns		Estadio de River
Sao Paulo Pumas		0.0.0	vs.	0.0.0		Pacific Islanders		Estádio do Pumas

The story - quite a boring final round.

Cape Town v New Delhi - A Cape Town loss would see the Cobras drop to 4th if the Armadillos win against the Suns, while New Delhi can only hold onto 10th.

Seoul v Cairo - Seoul needs to win, and pray for a miracle. Cairo have avoided the bottom 4 and win would send them up the ladder.

London v Beijing - Royals coach Ringo still searching for a first win. Finals are a certainty for Beijing but they can't realistically make the top 4 barring a percentage miracle, however a home elimination final is on the cards.

Berlin v Tokyo - Who cares really? Brewers wouldn't want to finish second last, but an in form Tokyo could do just that.

Moscow v Dublin - Moscow only need to win against the struggling Dublin to make the finals, a loss and they need to hope Cairo upset Seoul. Dublin have the spoon and the priority pick no matter what the result.

Toronto v PNL - PNL can no longer climb out of the bottom 4 after a heartbreaking loss last week, but could still finish the year on a high. Toronto had a shocker last week, and can still qualify for a home elimination final. A loss could see them out of the 8, but would be horribly unlucky.

Wellington v New York - Warriors need a calculator to make the top 4, but will secure a home elimination final next week if they win. New York will finish between 15th and 17th.

Buenos Aires v Mexico City - Early finals preview against 2nd and 4th. However, no matter what the result, both teams could stay at 2nd or 4th. Suns a minor chance for the minor premiership of the Pumas fall asleep at the wheel.

Sao Paulo v Pacific - Even a loss would likely see them win the Minor Premiership, but the Pumas need a win to secure it. The Islanders would love to finish the year on a high.


Predicted First Week of Finals:

Qualifying finals:

Sao Paulo v Buenos Aires, Brazil (Rhythm Cup also on line)
Mexico City v Cape Town, Mexico

Elimination finals:

Beijing v Moscow, China
Wellington v Toronto, New Zealand


This will be the final round of competition for New Delhi, Pacific, London, Tokyo, Cairo, PNL, Berlin, New York and Dublin. Likely will be the final round for Seoul, with a small chance of final round for either Moscow or Toronto.

Taunting this weeks opponent with an emergency list like that.
All our boys got through training tonight so the hard work for this week is done. The match on the weekend will be a light training session leading onto finals, but we're keen to play well and see if we will be able to give some of the premiership contenders something to think about. When we win this week we will have achieved our goal for the year of making finals, but we won't place any caps on ourselves.

Well, here we are, the final round. It's been a long year for the Islanders, but what a fantastic first season it has been. Before the start of the season, we were favourite for the spoon. 16 weeks later, we've shown amazing courage and belief and sit 11th on the ladder with 7 wins and 9 losses.

Last weeks loss to the Suns wasn't ideal, but it was going always going to be tough to defeat one of the flag favourites.

This week it doesn't get any easier, in fact, it's the Islanders biggest test of the season. The Sao Paulo Pumas.

The odds are massively against us, as they have been all season, but we are ready to produce one gigantic final effort to end the season on a high note.

GO ISLANDERS!

Max Bauley gets his first run. The J-POD gets his first game for a while. Zorko gets the captaincy.

Palmer and Hille make way. The New Delhi Tigers still want to end the season on a high. Even though trade negotiations are underway
