Leaders ST IVES SEAGULLS stayed clear at the top after beating FOSSIL PARK EAST 34–24, while WILLS WINGDINGS kept second with a 53–45 win over DZEKO & THE BUNNYMEN to remain three points back. Champions TASTUR BONDAI BARCA produced the statement result of the week, brushing aside COYS FC 51–33 to swap places with them and move into third. The closest contest came as CALZIO edged UNBEATABLES 53–47, while JDEACON7 strengthened their push with a 50–43 win over FOREVER QPR. VICTORIOUS SECRET also climbed a couple of places after beating REPLACEMENTS 45–37. At the bottom, SHADWELL TOWN’s 40–28 win over MOATY'S MANIACS opened up a three-point gap to DZEKO & THE BUNNYMEN and gave them a bit of breathing space above last place.
JURYSOUT tightened their grip on Division 1 with a 43–36 win over BADLY GOOD, and the leaders now sit nine points clear at the top. The promotion picture behind them is tightening up, with MISSING LINK’s 49–41 win at IFK HARLTONHAM pulling them level on 30 points with both COMMITMENTS and BADLY GOOD, after COMMITMENTS beat GREMLINS 37–31.
Elsewhere, ALPHA ATHLETIC edged EZE DOES IT 30–29 in the tightest game of the week, while MAFIA FOUR LIONS also won by a point, squeezing past CHACARITA 39–38; at the bottom, ATLETERNA picked up a rare win with a 43–37 victory over TEAM GEORGIES BOYS, and BY 'ECK’s 38–30 win over TEAM GOTLAND moved them up to ninth.
GLORY GLORY extended their lead at the top after seeing off GOTHATTERS FC 27–22, while the bigger shake-up came just behind them as REAL ALE ROVERS beat RED EXILES 37–29 to jump into third. BONGO FURY also moved up a place into fourth with a 45–37 win at HENRY C FC, and WHALLEY RANGE FC kept themselves firmly in the mix by beating MAKRILLARNA 43–35 to climb onto 30 points.
The widest-margin result was SPECKLED JIMS blowing past CORNISH REDS 59–40, lifting them to seventh and level on points with HOOFBALL, who edged KAMIKAZEES 38–35. LALJILAND FC also took a close one, beating BECKENBAURFLY 38–35 to dent the visitors and move up to 10th.
WILLS WINGDINGS RL booked their place in the Reality Cup final by the narrowest of margins after a 53–53 draw with GAIS in the second leg sealed a 105–102 aggregate win. Having taken the first leg 52–49, they did just enough to hold off GAIS in a tie that stayed on a knife edge throughout.
In the other semi-final, KUDUS TO YOU overturned an eight-point first-leg deficit to beat PUKKI BOWL FC 70–54 on the night and 111–103 on aggregate. A well-timed Triple Captain chip proved decisive, swinging the tie their way in emphatic fashion.
That sets up a final between WILLS WINGDINGS RL and KUDUS TO YOU.
Manager of the Week goes to me after KUDUS TO YOU posted the AllSwengland top score for the second week running with 70, helped by a well-timed Triple Captain, even if I did waste my Bench Boost last week. At least it came with a place in the final. Worst MOTW goes, once again, to Rustan after GOTHATTERS FC managed just 22..
Cheers 🤓
