Dear Patrons,
Bezuaua keeps slight pressure on Roryc at the top, but it is unlikely that Rory is losing any sleep as his lead is still 44 points.
Elsewhere Copperpipe has top score of 28 points and jumps up to joint 5th place.
Dahat's 4 points sees him drop from 10th to 12th.
But a new record low score of 1 point was posted by PARlance. Least said the better.
Lucas Hood, Slingerz and Trigger prove that there is life at the bottom, all posting big scores this week. F1ngers has dropped into the bottom 3.
And $hifty keeps doing what he does best, protecting the bottom spot.

Greetings Patrons,

RoryC is top dog for the week and a shoe in for the title at this stage. The bookies have started paying out on him.

Shano88 moves in to second spot as Bezuaua suffers a poor gameweek. His 4 points is the lowest of all this week. Any Scottish blood in you Bezuaua?

Spacecowboy moves in to 5 position and along with Mr P and Iusedtolikebusts is poised to launch a challenge to those champion league spots.

Much of muchness for the rest. Lucas Hood moves up slightly and F1ngers is looking to get out of the bottom three.
We are on the final stretch now...

Greetings Patrons,

Key news at the top is that the top 2 seem to have cemented their places. Hard to see either the number 1 or 2 spots changing between now and the end of the season.
Que smug smiles from RoryC and Shano88!
But places 3 thru 8 are still all to play for. Bezuaua and Swiper will need to up their act if they want to stay in that mix. Swiper posting the weekly low score of 4 points.
The high score of the week goes to Lucas with an impressive 43 points but we must tip our cap to PARlance and his 41 points. Lucas has moved from 12th place to 9th whilst PARlance has moved from 14th to 11 place.

At the bottom of the table there are no changes but One Cold hand and F1ngers need to be careful to avoid getting pulled in to the relegation mess.
Till next week folks, enjoy the weather!

Dear Patrons,

We are entering the final game week but top and bottom places are settled…no doubt about that in my mind.

At the top the only change is that Mr Prodson moves in to third place. The only real battle at the top is between himself and Bezuaua for that spot.

Manual man put in a score of 61 this week. I had to check that a few times...but 61 is his score....4 of this players contributed 60 of those points. That score moves Manual man from 11th up to 8th. Take a bow son.

Normally we would be giving credit to Mr Prodson (32), Swiper (32), Copper Pipe (31), and Nuts102 (37) for their 30+ scores, but this week must belong to Manual Man.

Next week will be our last....time to hand out the trophies and wooden spoons.

Greetings Patrons,

Our final weeks update is here.

First off, lets have a round of applause for RoryC. He has led the pack since 9 December, GW16, and has not looked back since. The winning margin of 105 points is remarkable. There was never really a doubt.
Shano88 has held on to the second place spot and Mr Prodson sneaks in to third place ahead of Bezuaua who slips to fourth.
The top 4 were well ahead of the chasing pack and both Lucas Hood and Spacecowb0y finished in joint fifth.
Iused2likebusts had the top score of the week, 33 points, and that moved him up from 10th to 8th in the final table.
At the foot of the table it is indeed myself that is making the rest of you all look good, but in fairness to Deleted User, we thought he was dead and buried but he did a bit if a Leicester in getting off the bottom.

And that’s it folks. Hope ye enjoyed this draft!
