A big week of ORFFA matches threatened to overshadow the start of another certain major sporting event as many spectators would prefer to watch a good game of  fantasy sport rather than endure endless rounds of swimming heats.

Read on, fellow travellers of the road and all will be revealed over the break.......

Marble Bar 1086 lost to Iron Knob 1454

The Protectors continue on their merry way with Lids and Hurn the best of them. Shane Savage may have atough week at training after a contribution of 5 for the afternoon.

Mt Beauty 1214 defeated Waikikamoocow 781

A tough week for the Kiwis as they struggle to get some sort of team on the park.

Mt Beauty gets the job done, as good sides do. Beau Waters and Cyril both mentioned in dispatches after the game.

Charlies Opening 1290 defeated Nunawading 1081

The Spelunkers midfield runs riot as they trounce the Nuffas underground at the Pit. Allegations of tanking against the Nuffas are entirely untrue, as two large gentlemen in suits from the club explained to the ORFFA management in an offer they said we couldnt refuse.

Mawson Base 1176 defeated Namatjira 1081

The Cox/Beams combination does enough to get the Penguins over the line in a game that went to the last quarter. The only downside is that we had to buy quite a bit of our scientific equipment back from the pawnbrokers after the visit from the Nungas.

Cradle Mountain 1263 defeated Gariwerd 1186

Cracking match this with the rookie combination of the Devon Smith and Zorko the magnificent putting in the big ones for the win. The Cockies just short again in a season that must have been frustrating for the coach.

Gundagai 1395 defeated Birdsville 1358

An absolute exhibition of fantasy sports this one with the Hoppers saluting in spite of a 160 from Murphy. Lenny Hayes showing that he is still premium material with another 100.

Foul Bay 1379 defeated Whitsundays 1107

As the metaphorical Foul Bay death star hurtles through space they perform strange experiments on players like Shane Tuck. Things like they did to Ripleys DNA in Alien 4 which enabled cloned copies to be better and stronger than the original. This is the only possible explanation for the turn around in a player who couldnt even make the ones at a bottom of the ladder Tiges.

Draw your own conclusions. Warriors back down to earth after a couple of good wins.

Venus Bay 1250 lost to Darraweit Guim 1446

Not only is the sleepy seaside resort of Venus Bay a good place to catch mullet, it was also a fantastic spot to watch an action hero mullett strut his stuff with 159 from big Ivan on the weekend. Boomer and NDS also with honourable mentions for the away team. Brockles the best for the pipi diggers in a high scoring affair.

Far Kew 1391 defeated Powletts Plains 1143

The return of Nat Fyfe not enough for the Packers as they encounter the Frogs on an up week.  Swannie feasts as Studley doesnt make it onto the park despite being named.
