2 good wins this weekend for our 1st team; very competitive still though

Not easy to do the pairings now for weekends 4 and 5

Great show from Mark subbing in to get MM1 over the line

I'd be really very surprised if MM1 don't get at least one promotion place from here. Even if you only do 3/5 (surely?) the others will need 4.5-5/5 to go past. One team is possible, two really not likely.

Second place looks to be very open indeed.

Jorvik just missing 2 wins in a weekend again. Apparently never managed it.

Presumably round 7 is MM1 v Hounds & Bears with Manx v 3Cs 2 and Gonzaga v SoA B or Jorvik

I see Manx have strengthened again registration list

Eh gads. Are they actually going to use it all, I wonder?

Suspect they'll likely need to win all their remaining matches from here for promotion, as Gonzaga may very well do that. Manx are currently slightly behind on game points right now.

Who knows

Hounds & bears are certainly capable of giving anyone a hard time, depending on what team they can get out; 3Cs 2 similarly

Manx have an impressive array of titled players now

It was the Manchester Manticores new signing that caught my eye though

100% record in 2017

Another good win for our 1st team today

MM1 14 points
Manx 11
Gonzaga 10
H&B and Jorvik 9
3Cs2 and MM2 8

Presumably MM1 v Jorvik tomorrow

Wrong about that, then!

They already played in round one!
Hard to see MM1 failing to qualify with them having already beaten the four teams just below, and MM2 as one of their likely opponents on the final weekend.
