Well folks, pocket protectors and coke bottle glasses were all the rage this week in the Geek Pride round. She blinded me with science by Thomas Dolby was played before the start of each game in a vague attempt to connect nerdism with a musical theme. Some big scores this round again combined with the Whitsundays first win of the year which will be explored over the break...........<!--more-->

Marble Bar 1146 lost to Mt Beauty 1332

The Kiewa Valley boys  post a good score on the roughest ground in the ORFFA.

Sidearse and Beau waters  combining to sink the Misfits, who must be considering Aaron Halls future given his failure to turn up on match day.  David Myers and Billy Bob also looking over their shoulders after serving up doughnuts to the Marble Bar coach.

Charlies Opening 1363 lost to Iron Knob 1450

Huge scoring match in windless conditions underground. Iron Knob pumping out 7 100+ scores on their way to a win at The Pit, big  Goldy leading the way with a 153.

Mawson Base 1342 defeated Waikikamoocow 1166

The Freezer claims its first victim as the Penguins get the choccies over a plucky Kiwi side. Mitch Robinsons 161 no match for Beams 175 and Rosa 158 as the Antarcticans romp home. Incorrigibles crueled by a weak forward line performance and facing  a long trip home across the Southern Ocean.

Cradle Mountain 1216 defeated Nunawading 761

A round the Nuffas would rather forget after eating more doughnuts than a career policeman this week. Mid year draft cant come soon enough for Nuna, with a shocking injury list. Daisy and Jack Redden doing good work for CM with 118 just business as usual for Pendles.

Gundagai 1144 defeated Namatjira 1047

The Nungas must be wondering what they have to steal to win a game at the moment, with Saad their only player topping the ton. The Grasshoppers hop home despite a ho hum 71 from Sandipants

Foul Bay 1402 defeated Gariwerd 1279

The Chickens continue their unbeaten run with a handy win over a gallant Gariwerd. Shane Tuck leading the way with 148 in front of his home crowd and Danyle Pierce with 142 in an unlikely match winning combination.

Venus Bay 1168 defeated Birdsville 1050

The Battlers finding the beach conditions tough going down at Venus Bay. Gaff and Frawley combining to get the Vultures home and maintain their unbeaten record.

Far Kew 893 lost to Whitsundays 1204

The Warriors will be celebrating long and hard after a huge win over the Froggies kickstarts their season. Travis Boak pumps out a 138 during contract negotiations with the Warriors management to stake his claim. The Frogs cause not helped by Green and Lucas contributing 8 between them for the match.

Powletts Plains 1262 lost to Darrweit Guim 1346

The Packers surely must be considering Hendersons future with the mid season draft looming. The Guim stay undefeated after another Captains effort of 146 from big Ivan. A brave effort from an undermanned Powletts and dont count that wily dinosaur out yet.
