    This week's round sees the same matchups as Round 12 in 2016

    teams currently in the ORFFF top 8 in bold

    Neptune Island Noahs (6-1) vs Jan Juc Ducks (4-3) - 2nd vs 6th on the table and doubling up as 3rd place in the ORFF* knockout and 2018 ORFF* Champions League qualifier
    Useless Loop Virgins (6-1) vs Walpole Woylies (4-3) - The first of this weeks derbies sees the big improver Walpole take on a Virgins side which is is flying under the radar and will pretty much wrap up a top 4 spot if they can move to 7-1.

    Macquarie Island Whales (4-3)     vs Nangkita Bucks (4-3) - Both these sides lost last week and will need to win this match to remain in the 8, while last time they played the margin was a heart-stopping 7 points (5th closest in ORFFF history) in a 1139-1132 slugfest, Mac Island achieving the 8th lowest winning score in ORFFF history.

    Cockburn Avengers (2-5) vs Mt Thirsty Boozers (5-2) - Cockburn are now on a 4 game losing streak for the second time in their club history as they sit 13th. Coach @Len will no doubt point out that last time the team were at this low ebb they then responded with a huge form turnaround to narrowly miss the ORFFF top 4 in 2016. I am expecting a fightback but Mt Thirsty will start strong favourites.

    Rutherglen Fugitives (6-1) vs Mole Creek Glow-Worms (0-7) - Stef Martin up against his old side. Rutherglen could quite possibly play their 2nds and still win this one. Chalk up #9 in a row for the Glow-Worms while the Fugitives take on Nuytsland in the ORFF* knockout Big Dance looking to secure the club's first ever silverware.

    Heard Island Shags (3-4) vs Drouin Dropbears (3-4) - The 4 teams on 3 wins clash this week with the battle deep in the Southern Ocean the first such. Drouin are poised to return to the top 8 if they can get the win. Last time they played Stowie dropped 1587 points on Anthak, which remains the ORFF"s highest ever score, while the Shags responded with a highly impressive 1353 (9th highest losing score in ORFF history). Their combined 2940 point aggregate missed the all time ORFFF record by 1 point, thus sitting 2nd highest ever.

    Maralinga Atoms (3-4) vs Black Swamp 29ers (3-4) - The 29ers don the Hazmat playing kit as they travel to the badlands this week with the winner of this clash no doubt pleased to be sitting at 4-4 after both sides had poor starts to the year. The Atoms will be playing with vengeance on their mind after losing by 400 plus last time the 2 sides met, in the 2nd most lopsided ORFF clash ever.

    Port Lincoln Power vs Wedge Island White Pointers - Last but not least is the household/SA derby, which went the way of Port lincoln by 50 points last time they played, due to a dodgy donut suffered by one obviously very clued in husband.

    As always get your team entered over at http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=14

    Good luck to Rutherglen as they fly the flag for the ORFFF in the first ever ORFF* Grand Final at Rutherglen in Round 8.

    (and ps I will be overseas for 3 weeks shortly so if anyone feels like putting up a Round 10 Rivalry round thread either prior to or following the All Stars match in Round 9 then feel free to do so)

      Before scaling I have it as boozers 1517 defeating avengers 1159.5

      First time we have cracked 1500 so a great team effort. What's more is those that weren't playing are in nice form too with almost 500 from the reserves meaning the boozers squad notched up about 2000 points this round.

      Its a high scoring tight match between the Virgin's and the Woylie.
      At the moment a tied game, awaiting scaling in the Nth v Syd game.

      Final score to come.......

      In an uninspiring match up the Fugitives have got the 4 points over the Glow Worms by a slender 63 points. The Fugitives turned in their worst performance since their Round 1 loss. An upset was on the cards throughout as Cripps, Heeney and Petracca all dominated however it was the class of Fugitives ruckman Stef Martin who proved the difference as he dominated young Charlie Curnow in a case of what might have been for the Glow Worms.

      The win marks 7 on the trot for Rutherglen and the weeks rest is timely with a few guns needing a week off. For Mole Creek those elusive 4 points aren't far away.

      In the 2016 season, this was the kind of game Mole Creek would have squeaked home in. A shame we saved our best score of the year for a strong opponent!

      In what surely in the highest scoring drawing in living ORFF* history the Useless Loop Virgins 1,412 tied with Walpole Woylies 1,412

      The Woylies came to play, players were pumped up on fungi juice especially their midfielders Oliver, Merrett, Blakely playing out of their little nocturnal skin. Neale and Prid cracked the whip with some great inside movements. Hurn put the screws on McCarthy while May and Simpson tagged teamed Hrovat all day however it was hard to contain Yeo and Breust.

      Solid performances from the forward half with JJK leading the way and made up ground against the young talent of Jones, Tarrant and McGrath however for the visitors the Kolodjashnij kid made some impressive moves.

      The big men like to show off their prowess for the crowd and they didn't disappoint with perhaps a slight advantage to Sandiballs over Witt.

      Off the pine came Daniel and Daniel with youth and vigour as they put on a spectacular show and for the home side Polec stepped up for Mr Gray catch the eye of more than the selection committee as Mundy tied up the game with getting one in just as full time was called.

      They'll be talking about this day for sometime to come as they do in magazines, page 3 and even the internet ; )
