Accymad Back On Top As Journeyman Romy Turns The Game

Even(ish) splits this time, 12 correctly keeping the faith, 7 total pessimists and 10 caught on the fence. Norwich Stanley, Tommy McQueen and high-flying Smobile were absent without leave from our regulars, presumably having not yet made it home after Wednesday.

Of the 12, only 3 took the max 5 points, all making leaps up the table as a result, with Mab's 9th= to 3rd taking pride of place over Leyandii's 21st= to 11th and ProccyFan's 23rd to 15th. At the very top, Accymad took 3 points while Div3North didn't, and leads by those 3 points as a result, D3N holding off Mab to retain 2nd on countback. Most of our leaders opted (wrongly ) for pragmatism after the effort against the Hammers, only Accymad, Mab and Cashman from last week's Top Ten going for the win. This let optimists DaveinGermany, Accybeme and AndyD into the elite at the expense of faithless Outback Ozzy, Monkeyhanger and Dav007.

It only remains to note that there is currently no B in the Top Twenty - an unheard of state of affairs. Buck up, chaps .

So it's roll on the Stags on Tuesday with us looking for 4 wins on the trot for the first time since last September. Then we did it on matchdays 7-10, and spookily, Tuesday will be matchday 10 again. On Stanley On!!
