The finals are underway and already the strong teams have pushed their premiership claims strongly. The Isotopes have been arguably been the best side all season and they recorded their second win over the Loose Husseys in the Qualifying Final. In the other Quallie Rusty Cage claimed victory over the Raging Hooligans. This means that the Isotopes have earnt automatic promotion to Hogg Division V next season.

RustyCage are already in Division V (as are Sturt B) which means the other three promotion spots will go to Loose Husseys, Raging Hooligans and PowerFailure. Most of these teams are new but the exception to this is Raging Hooligans who have spent quite a few years in the lowest division and the Joker has now finally gone up.

In the knockout finals the Lovelies weren't in the race after not closing down that Bakery in the forward line and Failed Creation where well beaten by Sturt B Team. Despite the creation's first week exit, they are also a good chance to be promoted if teams drop out of the Hogg, which they always do.

So it's the week off then for Isotopes and RustyCage with the Raging Hooligans taking on Power Failure in the 1st Semi Final and the Loose Husseys up against Sturt B in the other. The top four teams have ruled supreme in this league this year so I'm expecting that the Husseys and the Hooligans will win through to the Preliminary Final.

Semi Finals Results

Raging Hooligans 1988
PowerFailure 1640

Loose Husseys 1988
Sturt B Team 1836


The scores were down all over in SuperCoach land so you wouldn't be expecting any massive scores in Divvy VI. It was the end of the road for a brave Sturt B Team that put a good fight against the more fancied Loose Husseys in their Semi Final. In the other Semi Final the lights went out for the PowerFailure as they lived up to their name as the wheels fell off.

The top four sides of this league looked superior to the rest a long time ago so the Preliminary Final match ups are not exactly a surprise. Next week the Hooligans will be up against the might of the Isotopes while the Loose Husseys will play Rusty Cage. Please note that the Grand Finalists of this league will be invited to participate in the Champions League next season. All of the top six in this league look like playing Division V next season.

Had me well covered with that score mate - no trades left for me either so I'm def the underdog going into the prelim! Happy with my first ever effort in SC to make the prelims, might need to do some serious research next season -

Got up by 9 thanks to some luck of having not as many 0's as my opponent

Isotopes knocked me out another comp last week. So good to get some payback

[TEX07]

I got smashed by RustyCage! Next year ill need to keep trades for finals - used my last trade two weeks prior which I should have held onto! Had two zeros and duds on the field - still would have been beaten but.

Preliminary Final Results

RustyCage 2354
Loose Husseys 2006

Raging hooligans 2039
Isotopes 2030

The favourites both got done in the Division VI finals as the carnage continued on for a second straight week with Pav, Suckling and Barlow added to important outs. For those with only one or two trades (or less) there were just too many outs to cover, especially in the midfield. The team that looked the best in this league, Isotopes came a cropper as they collected donuts for JPK and Stve Johnson and the Raging Hooligans booked a Grand Final and Champions League berth.

RustyCage have hit form at the right time of the season with a very competitive score of 2354 when even guns teams were failing to crack 2000. The Cage is untouched by the carnage with some excellent POD players making them a very well managed team indeed. RustyCage have made the Division V and VI Grand Finals and if they can win both they'll be only the second team to win more than one Hogg League in the one year after BenjisBeasts did it in 2011.

Bad luck to the Topes and the Husseys and they'll have a more challenging year against better oppostion next year, as will all the teams in the Preliminary Finals. Rusty Cage won't be going up to Division V though, they'll be in Division IV in 2015.
