Group 2-4 Match 155 WhoGibbsa FC (peanuts) 2262 def BLUEBAGGERS (DannyG) 1908
Group 2-4 Match 156 SF Bulls (Tyze1) 2183 def by Blue Steele (blue steele) 2195

Congrats to JC and MM for clinching a top 3 spot in Round 10. Both teams will have tough Rd14 matches against the teams that are 2nd in their group (EreCumDeOtStepperFC and On a ClenbuteRoll respectively) but can lock themselves into top spot in the group and earn a weaks break in Rd16 with a Rd14 win.

While Blue Steele has yet to lock in a top 3 spot it is as close as one can get to being a certainty. As he has won tiebreaker matches against both the 2nd and 3rd placed teams he will also lock up top spot and a rest in Rd 16 if he is able to notch a win in either Rd14 or Rd 15.

Unfortunately another 3 teams have had their chance of Champions League glory snuffed out with Ad's Adventurers, Team Stripey and Bluebaggers all now on 3 wins and 5 losses after crashing to their 3rd consecutive defeats in the 2nd stage. I am sure these teams will be stocking up on big name talent over the bye rounds and looking to notch upset wins in their last 2 games and help to shape the top 3 in their respective groups.

Of the other teams in contention the match between Lightning Bolt and Highly Fevolved puts the winner in the box seat for a top 3 spot while each of the Group 2 matches will all have a major bearing with 3 teams currently tied on 6-2 records.

Congrats Mick, Prince of Mugs, GRG, Stevebbb, Bigron81, Blue Steele, Tyze1 and Nick for clinching a top 3 spot in Round 14, with Blue Steele also locking in top spot in their group.

JC has also locked in top spot in their group, and both he and Blue Steele will have the week off in Round 16.

5 teams were eliminated this week. Lightning Bolt, 22 Ton Salute, Below The Radar - who won against Team Stripey but were eliminated when WhoKnows defeated BafingwoodFC - WhoGibbsa FC and Heavymen. Thanks for participating and proving tough opponents throughout.

In Group 2-1 Mick and POM playoff this week in a live match with the winner finishing 2nd in the group ahead of the other side.

The top 3 in Group 2-2 all have chances of finishing first in the group depending on this weeks results while in addition Fantasy Addicts can pinch the 3rd and final spot in Group 2-2 from Beast Mode if they can knock off Below The Radar and Beast Mode also loses to the top ranked Whoknows.

In Group 2-3 On A (Clenbute) Roll will finish top if they defeat TheTassieTitans or Oil, Beef, Hooked loses to Bastow FC. 3rd place will belong to TheTassieTitans if BB can pull off a win this week, with Bastow FC taking it if they win combined with a loss to BB's side. If both lose it most likely ends in a 3 way with the winner of We're Flying High and Wanderers, with BB favoured to hold on by % with a 1.52% or about 286 points advantage heading into the final matchday.

In Group 2-4 SF Bulls finish 2nd if they defeat Bluebaggers or if Thru The sticks loses to WhoGibbsa FC.

Best of luck peeps and remember that all 12 matches this week are between teams that share a league so if you are one of the 6 sides on a knifes edge this weekend be sure to check in once or twice to see how the matchup is progressing.

Given the tiebreaker used to split teams on equal wins and losers is head to head wins and losses blue steele is sitting pretty having defeated both teams in earlier 2nd stage action

Good luck this weekend and also in the knockout stages amigo

Congrats to BB and Tailgunner for clinching the last 2 top 3 spots in the final round, with Beast Mode jumping from 3rd spot to top a very tight bunch in Group 2 ahead of Bafingwood FC with the team they defeated WhoKnows hanging onto 3rd spot.

BigRon81 had a 5 game winning streak stopped in a close one by BB and Mad Mattigan cruised to a win over Bastow FC to take out top spot in Group 3 and earn a week off.

4 teams were eliminated at the final hurdle this week. Fantasy Addicts who tied with the top 3 but were eliminated after failing to convert a 5-0 record in the 1st stage into a top 3 spot in the 2nd stage, with their inability to defeat any of the top 3 proving decisive despite earning 2 wins against the 5th and 6th placed teams.

The Tassie Titans win in Group 3 eliminated Bastow FC, Wanderers and We're Flying High.

Again thanks for participating and proving tough opponents throughout the comp and taking it down to the wire.
