Returning Shurm Returns to Top Spot with Maxi
And as it turns out
, we didn't need the points today to lay my lingering doubts, as the Shrimps and Gills both fell short of their requirements to catch us anyway
. But after his unexplained absence
on Tuesday Shurm certainly did need points
, and he took the lot
and first place back with a maxi. Best placed of the other maxi winners was Ange B, jumping from 9th to 6th to close the household bragging rights gap to just two points
. Also taking five and (mostly) making progress were Choirboy (16th to 14th), Mab (21st to 17th), DaveinGermany (24= to 23rd) and Leylandii (26th to, um, 26th
). But of these 4 only Choirboy remains in with a mathematical
chance, sitting 19 points off the pace with 20 still available, alongside Lord Stiffy.
6 maxis then, another 6 of us scoring 4
thanks to a single bonus point, and just StanleyJosh picking up the bare 3
. For the drawmongers and pessimists, points were hard to come by with only AccyTom18, Lord Stiffy, Outback Ozzy and Watchdog managing a consolation bonus
.
Refocusing on the top of the table, Shurm is now a single point clear of Stevie R (4 today) with Mike A (also 4) back on the podium in 3rd, 4 points further adrift. Pointless
Nige B and Monkey Hanger were the notable losers, sliding from 3rd and 4th to 4th and 7th respectively. Also pointless
, Taypot and Valairian were also pushed down a place by Ange's surge up the list. And Kiwi John's 4 points were enough to steal the last place at top table from the absent
Tommy McQueen.
So, happy Saturday
, and roll on the Brewers on Good Friday. Good for who I wonder? We're looking for revenge for one of our early season nightmares here - but will we get it? Oh I do hope so ....
On Stanley On!!
