EYE-CATCHING!
–PREM: In a day of horrible reckoning (for some), GoFYS in tenth beat the former number-two East Loop and SB Town Onion Baggers (was 9th, now 8th) defeated former number-three Big to the O to the One in a 54-53 nailbiter. Chucky Pad now takes sole ownership of first place on 25 points, while Sporting Wicker capitalized on those losses for East Loop and Bigo1 to nab second, just a point back. Smash & Grab bested the Money Team in a high-scoring bout, and with FC Santa Barbara and Vanishing Spray the three teams form a temporary, tenuous middle class, so rare in these days and times. SB Town, Money and GoFYS sit not far behind, having raised the bar at the bottom.
–CHAMPIONSHIP: I didn’t want to have to say it, but this division is so frickin’ tite. The Unicorn Reserves sun their horns at the top of the table despite a discouraging one-point loss, even on points (24) with Bigger than Brolin and K.H. Granitza Sting, the three all clustered close to one another on overall points, as well. Brolin posted a massive 86 for the week. “Yikes,” said Branwellington, who did not happen to have an 87 to counter with. The Reykjavik BayCobblers and the Banana Swans lurk just off the shoulder of the top three, poised to join their democratic ranks of equality. Meanwhile, All Star Gunners won to better balance its table numbers with its overall player points. The big story again in the lower half is that everyone but Cornballers, who lost by one measly point to Banana Swans in the some-have-it Prenup Cup, could catch up with just a short run of sustained success. May Cornballers soon catch a break.
–LEAGUE 1: PSV Wide Open defeated Mighty Fine Feeling in a close-shave 61-58 to officially take first, after StillluvQPR threw a 72 down as the marker for Relic FC to match. Relic now trails by two, with Wijnaldum Leviosa another two back. AFC Chester moves up a place to the Champions League spots, and eighth-place Fourth Place Trophy logged another victory, this time over Yer Man in seventh, to bridge the gap separating the team from safety and giving the squad some breathing room from the similarly relegation spots. Tiger Tail can still take a run with a burst of tigerspeed, but needs to act now. Old Sexpats similarly finds itself in a rut of a bind, needing wins of its own.
–LEAGUE 2: Tralfamadore Zoo takes sole possession of first as DC LFC and Mourinho-LO drew, for the tier’s first draw of the season. (Enter off numbers, delicious narrative.) Gloopy Yarbles bested Tapped Up to keep pace, with the top three all within three points of one another. Glentoran lost by a solitary point to The Globes, as the latter solidifies its place in the top four. Hung Like a Bony beat Gadagdome in a possible early relegation fight six-pointer, assuming a fifth tier, which there isn’t, so rest easy, chums! (And most auspicious of wishings for impending success–the race ain’t run yet.)
