We come to the pointy end of the Season with teams 1 - 8 now playing for the Premiership cup and Teams finishing 9 - 18 playing for the Patrons Plate,

If you have not voted in the proposal to eliminate 2 teams from the plate as yet please do so in this thread.

Premiership Cup Finals Matches:
Qualifying Final 1 - Werewolves v Badgers @ The Rose Bowl
Qualifying Final 2 -  Hoods v Breakers @ Trent Bridge
Elimination Final 1 - Hurricanes v Hedgehogs @ Pilot Fields
Elimination Final 2 - Bombers v Hawks @ St Andrews Stadium

After being defeated last week will the Werewolves and Hoods bounce back and defeat the Badgers and Breakers or will the lower placed teams go through to the Preliminary Final,
Will the Hedgehogs and Hawks end the aspirations of the Hurricanes and Hawks - Hegehogs have lost quite a few matches by less than 10 points so may surprise.

Just checking, is there HGA for the Patrons Plate?

[Ringo]

There is a HGA for the plate. Bunnies have not had a home ground for this year so that is why no ground mentioned.  First named team as the HGA and their home ground is what I have recorded atm.

HGA will continue until the finals for both competitions.

Yep... That's it. Kieran Harper has been named in the squad of 25, but if he doesn't make the cut I'll edit the team and move Spencer or Wright into F4 OOP.


One emergency such is the life of us Liverpudlians. Harper didn't make the cut because he's a potato of the highest order and so Wright moves in OOP and Saunders comes in to the emergencies.
