Six weeks out from finals and Skehan’s Sauce has emerged as the form team of the competition after knocking off top side Pigs Arsenal in a cracking Divvy III clash last weekend. The Pigs looked ok for most of the match only for Skehan to salute in the end. Another team looking good of late is Trotters who won a high quality match against an unlucky Fightin Ryan who deserve better than their current standing on the ladder. Apart from Pigs, most of the top eight prospered this week with the exception Smashed Crabs who were outpaced by the Turtles. The Turtles’ win keeps the door open for a heap of chasing teams so Smashed will be feeling pretty Crabby about that result. A few of the stragglers are in deep shit. Brodlach looks out of his depth in this league which is so Essendon. It was a lamentable effort against Sarah who romped to a massive win. Birthday boy@JK (Happy Birthday dude) also lost the unloseable to Ginger Ninjas who had been travelling about as well as Usman Khwaja in recent weeks. The Wizards Sleeves lost their recent magic and the Hawks didn’t get off the ground while Killer Wombats got Killed. The competition for relegation spots is on in earnest here.

Relegation candidate Wizards Sleeves pulled off the performance of the round when they racked up an improbable 2341 to destroy Brodlach Bombers and put their Division III spot in severe jeopardy. While it’s too late for the Wizards to make their mark finals wise they won’t be a great match up for contenders on the run home. Speaking of contenders it seems Sarah’s Dream Team is one of those again after they got the vital win against Trotters who are currently in eighth spot. Sarah has a vastly inferior percentage to the Trotters so it was a match she had to win if she hopes to displace the Trotters from the finals. Most of the top teams got the job done this week with the exception of Chicken Twisties who has gone off the boil in recent weeks. Anytime Turtles got another scalp on the way to reviving their season and they are looming large as a possible finalist provided the wins keep coming. Perhaps one of the more important wins this week was when Hawkers defeated Killer Wombats. Both teams have been struggling to score in recent weeks so that Hawkers win could save them from the drop with Wizards looming late.

Not a massive scoring week in SuperCoach but someone forgot to tell Chicken Twisties who racked up 2363 in their big win over Sarah’s boys. Skehan went even bigger to fleece the Golden one while The Cats also got to 2300 with a comfortable win over the suddenly out of form again Trotters who are now outside the eight. Pigs Arsenal took over from Persh as the team to beat a few months back but this week Persh turned the tables on the Pigs who were well beaten. Cobwebs bridged the gap by smashing the wooden spooner elect Ginger Ninjas. Finals time in three weeks and there are still 14 teams in this comp so a pretty tight league. Not sure the teams currently outside the eight have the consistency to make up the small gap but Fightin Ryan has been in good form lately even though that perecentage isn’t great. The top four look settled despite Twisties efforts and in the relegation battle maybe Wizards has done enough despite the loss last weekend.
