Three measley points separated the teams in what was satisfying revenge for the Sandgropers after their loss in Veto Cup 1. Might need a recount here I came up with 1197 to 1197.... Might need an independent party My original post is definitely wrong, looks like some of the Saturday scores changed overnight, however you add it up there wasn't much between the two teams, score check to come. I got Sandgropers with 1,193 to Prairie Dogs 1,197. can someone else confirm, cheers I've added all again (and after what appears to be some changes to the Saturday night scores) I get the same as you YAD, thanks for the confirmation. Well done PDogs, good luck in the next round. An outstanding Losers final, both teams couldn't decide who wanted the loss more. Whilst the loss was originally awarded to the P Dogs the recount has seen a narrow loss for the Sandgropers. The P Dogs have scraped through with a shot to become the Biggest Loser!

I demanded a recount, but no-matter how many ways I try to twist the maths, Banchang still win... Yep, confirmed, 1243 to 1161. Congrats Chops.
A lot easier to win when your opposition is one man down and you only scrape in by 82. Would have been a lot closer if Wright played I'm sure.
Thank you for confirmation. The P Dogs will advance for their shot at the Loser Cup. Never short of controversy when we put the Sandgropers and Hughenden together.

My emergency M Jones didn't play either, while my def emergency, J Macmillan only scored 68 points. Wright has not scored above 80 points this season. That all adds up to a Banchang win no-matter what.
I'm definitely happy to get the win JPK, but this Round was the first round since RD10, that I haven't had a player subbed in or subbed out or having to play one OOP so unfortunately the Prospectors got me on a good day when I had 15 start and the same 15 finish . I also had my 4 emergencies score 67,68,71 and 77, which is unheard of in our short history. Onto next week.......

Says it all about my season, second highest scoring team of the losers this round and still can't find a win
<p dir='LTR]1st week finals - Christmas Island 1477 defeated Nuytsland 1317 <p dir='LTR] <p dir='LTR]After playing out one of the games of the season in round 18 the Christmas Island faithful were excited to host the boys from Nuytsland in the first week of the loser finals. <p dir='LTR] <p dir='LTR]Unfortunately, team sheets were unkind to the Vikings, losing their best defender, MSD Lucky Find champ Liam Picken, and their two best forwards, Tom Mitchell and Jack Ziebell.

Match Report for the Eden-Gisborne game (a little late but I had a busy weekend ) After missing out on the finals by 56 points, we were determined to win the minor finals. And that determination showed here with Curnow and Lynch leading the side with 100+ scores. Hale was out due to soreness so Phillips took his place with a career-high 98 to lose by 1 to Maric. Meanwhile for the Grenades, McVeigh, Christensen and Neale top-scored but with Masten out and Hamling, Lake and Lennon already in off-season mode (which will cost Fasolo his spot in next week's team) the Grenades just couldn't get the win. McStay played his debut for a 43. This week it's a rematch against Banchang, they put us out of major finals, we'll put them out of minor finals. Eden Whalers 1208 DEF: Wood 64, McStay 43, Fasolo 9 Smith 64 (Malceski) MID: Jones 86, Griffen 98, Miles 94 Murphy 85 (Suban) RUC: Hale DNP (Phillips) 98 FWD: Boomer 88, Lynch 118 Crisp 63 Brown 98 INT:Curnow 120, Jenkins 80 Gisborne Grenades 1046 Lake 30 Grundy 61, Hunt 83 Hombsch 52 Masten DNP, McVeigh 115, Hill 87, Neale 112 Maric 99 Riewoldt 91 Christensen 121, Lennon 17, Ambrose 51 Douglas 90, Hamling 37 <div>

Watching the games over the weekend I could not believe Kurt did it to me again and when Kreuzer had his best game, the better and more consistent team for the year won. Good luck next round .
