Boasters League round
3~~
Another good showing for league night, another caning of the
keg, and the Boasters League standings have tightened up tremendously at the
top. Only 4 points separate the leading 4 teams, with the Space Geckos still sitting high with the best view – even though
they have the same amount of points as the Winky-Dinks
– because of their league leading 41 bonus points.
Fire Birds gained
the most ground on the ladder this week moving from 5th position
last week – and 17 points back of the Space
Geckos – to 3rd spot this week and only trailing the leaders by
3 points. That can be attributed to completing 10 matches of round 3 so far and
winning 8 of them. Those wins also just happen to be at the expense of the Space Geckos. And not forgetting the Winky-Dinks, who should be applauded
for all the make-up matches they completed in the past 7 days, and overall a
league best 41 point boost.
The biggest step backwards was made by the Butter Nutz. Yes, they had the bye
week, but they only reported 1 point in make-up matches over the week, and have
plummeted from 2nd on the standings to 7th. Paddy’s Dropshots dropped to 8th
place, even though they haven’t yet had the bye week, already behind 2 teams
that have. They need to step it up. Foss
Nation didn’t help themselves either with only picking up 17 points so far
in week 3, the lowest total of all the teams, and the least amount of bonus
points for the round as well. That’s a far cry from the 32 they scored in week
1.
Some stand-outs of the evening include… Ashley Thibodeau (Fire Birds)
picking up her first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Shane Henry (Space Geckos); John Mann
(Winky-Dinks) remains undefeated
after hustling his way to a 2-1 win over John
Perkins (Paddy’s Dropshots); Paul Ward continued on his merrily
winning ways for his 7th win in a row (including box matches) taking Andy Adamo (Foss Nation) 2-1; and David
Schaden (The Nicker Ballers)
scored his first win of the season holding off the experienced Jim Miller (Mongoose) 2-1.
Everybody has been doing a great job getting their matches
in. There are only 5 of the 153 players that are yet to pick up a point for
your team either through bonus point or playing a match – you know who you are –
and although it’s ‘only’ week 4 coming up next Wednesday, time is running out to get that 4 match minimum
under your belt. And please, as a reminder, if you are here on Wednesday
evening and play the match, make sure you enter the score on the spreadsheets
provided (or tell me on the evening) rather than me having to chase you down
for it. No doubt some results will end up not being recorded, which is rather
silly.
