PWJ Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 In the last: The Tigers can't win but Shalwa, Love You Lucy (guess who tipped that), Jen Rules, Irithea or Outback Barbie can prevent a 5-zip win for Covid-Y Hall of Fame could still win it with Winter Bride (Jamison, Stevie & Ian) but it needs to pay $9.30+ or Jen Rules complete the Q Much Too Fast can still win with Jen Rules (for Rex and Zac) but it needs to pay $10.40 or Irithea complete the Q. Winter Bride or Baccarat Baby can give the James Gang a 5-zip win. Maximillions vs Roland;s Roughnecks - hard to predict this one because of the tied match Jen vs Rob. Rob has Shalwa & Krone while Jen has River Racer & Ready To Prophet. Winter Bride, Baccarat Baby (if it stays favourite) or Irithea assures a Maxis win Shalwa assures a Roughnecks win #8 Paint The Town Too is a late scratching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous times. Great stuff John. A couple of nervous teams out there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Squirrel Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Talk about playing to the final whistle - as they fanned across the track I wasn't sure if I was cheering Winter Bride for the team and y trifecta or River Run with my sly $5er on its snout. As it turns out Lucy did the bizzo for the JG even when none of us picked it. Super battle Howie and your gallant team - may we meet again in the final! Well played JG - champs always come good when it really matters!! Time to make life tough for our semi final opponent!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one tipped the final winner. Craig, the sole MTF personal winner, was Man of the Match while Pete pipped Blind Squirrel for MVP honours for The Gang who took a bonus point for a 4-1 margin. 147.00 Zac 253.00 Jack 32.00 Rex 207.00 Steve P 321.00 Craig 274.00 Pete 112.60 Ashoka 209.80 Hesi 134.60 Howie 267.00 Blind Squirrel 2 MAXIMILLIONS* (1st) $710.60 1 (x 2 Joker play) = 2 points 3 ROLAND'S ROUGHNECKS (7th) $571.00 2 points No one got the final winner but Jen's pick River Racer ran a close 2nd allowing her to defeat Rob on a countback with a score of $0 and win the match for Roland's Roughnecks ! Pam was MVP for the winners, her score only bettered by opponent Max who was Man of the Match in a low scoring match. Maximillions ended up with a higher aggregate and that bonus point was doubled with their Joker play. 303.00 Max 216.00 Pam 147.00 Heather 180.00 Gordy 0.00 Rob 0.00 Jen (on countback) 190.60 Graeme 0.00 Gee 70.00 Georgy Boy 175.00 Roland 0 HALL OF FAME (6th) $763.00 0 points 5 FIVE-OH (2nd) $1251.80 4 points Winter Bride was never paying enough for Hall of Fame and no one tipped the final winner so Five-Oh scored a comfortable win with Punter Pete edging Captain John for Man of the Match honours with his opponent Ian MVP for HOF. The 5-0 margin was worth two bonus points for Five-Oh. Hall of Fame came into today with Finals aspirations but struck Five-Oh in formidable form while they generally had an off day across the board. 203.00 Ian 295.40 John 164.00 Midnight C 277.40 Virgil 196.00 Stevie N 224.40 Moose 109.00 Robert 298.60 Punter Pete 91.00 Jamison 156.00 The Crucible 1 THE TIGERS (8th) $1118.00 0 points 4 COVID-Y (5th) $1278.00 3 pointsTigress Jill went back-to-back in the last with longshot "Lucy" the Toowoomba terror and nailed Rocky to pull one back for The Tigers. Covid-Y were in good form and took a bonus point for a 4-1 margin and finished less than $50 shy of a team profit. Jill was a clear Match Star with the day's top tally while Gary was Covid-Y MVP. 70.00 Tom 254.00 Ziggy 639.00 Jill 217.40 Rocky 185.00 Maurice 387.00 Gary 121.00 Sharne 178.00 Porky 102.00 PJ 203.60 Ray FINAL TABLE 1st 36 Five-Oh $15,327.20 2nd 35 Maximillions $17,546.00 3rd 27 Much Too Fast $15,396.80 4th 25 James Gang $15,933.40 ------------finals qual mark-------------- 5th 23 Covid-Y $15,233.20 6th 19 Hall of Fame $15,270.80 7th 17 Roland's Roughnecks $12,403.20 8th 14 The Tigers $15,292.20 The Maxis' loss today cost them the Minor Premiership despite earning two points from their Joker play as Five-Oh steamrollered Hall of Fame to take 4 points and annex the Minor Premiership - congratulations to John, Virgil, Moose, Punter Pete and TC. The James Gang needed a decent win to hold off their chasers and they duly obliged downing 3rd placed Much Too Fast. A loss without bonus points would have seen them collared by a determined Covid-Y outfit who defeated The Tigers 4-1 but needed to win 5-zip and take a team profit but couldn't quite manage it. Roland's Roughnecks ended their comp with a win to nail 7th leaving The Tigers in the cellar. So our Finalists have been found. Thanks to all those departing from the comp today but a reminder and an invitation to be back in a couple of weeks for the National Super Comp. Thanks to my Tigers team mates who played well but just had no luck with opposition sides using us as target practice although we did post the highest aggregate among those who missed the finals ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Firstly, a big congratulations to 'Five-Oh' - John, TC, Moose, Virgil, Punter Pete - the most difficult team to overcome in the competition - the 'winningest' team in the comp - and deservedly picking up the Minor Premiership. Came from a fair way off the Maximillions points-wise to nab them in the shadows of the post . Well done, champs. Thank goodness we don't meet 'Five-Oh' in the semis next weekend.! Hats off also to the very impressive 'Maximillions'. Set a torrid pace through round-robin, and had it won everywhere but on the line. Some very skilful tipsters in their lineup, and we underdogs the 'Much Too Fast' are gonna have to find two or three lengths to go with them in the semi next Saturday. 'The James Gang' were a class above us MTF today, and showed real ticker to put in a top team performance when it counted most, when under serious threat for their 4th-spot berth in the Championship round. Special mention for Blind Squirrel who has played very well right through this comp and ran away from me today; plus Hesi a deserved win over one of the comp's most highly-rated selectors, Ashoka. Good luck for your match against the table-toppers next week - you are hitting top form at the right time, and I do believe you're in with a live chance next Saturday. A less than memorable performance from us 'Much Too Fast' today, with the highlight being our Craig saving our blushes with a very strong performance to win his individual matchup. We need to turn things around fast ...and we could very well do that. Points don't carry forward and we line up level with the 'Maximillions' next Saturday, and from there, anything can happen.We've given ourselves the opportunity ...now it's up to us to take it. Farewell, departing friends. See you soon, in PJ's next amazing super duper National comp. We MTF hope we will have the support of more than a few of you next Saturday, and in the Grand Final the following Saturday.Many thanks for this comp, PJ, and your sterling efforts scoring and commentating. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. And thanks for your updates today too, John. Always accurate and very informative. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks. Take it easy on those 'Canes tomorrow, Beaudy. They're in 'rebuilding' mode. Naagh ..just kiddin'...give 'em heaps, Beaudy.GO THE MIGHTY BLUES ! 🙂 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Congrats finalists & thanks PJ for yet another top notch comp. 👍 COVID-Y, it's been a pleasure. We managed to beat every team in the comp but 2 dud joker calls proved costly in the end. Had we sneaked into the semis, I know we would have been hard to beat. Gary your 2nd round resurgence has been a joy to watch. 😎 Porky, our top dollar man, propped up our team scores on a regular basis. 🤑 Ziggy, finished strongly after being matched against some big hitters early on. 💪 And finally Rocky, our Mr Reliable who along with Porky, formed the spine of our team. 🤩 Thanks guys. COVID-Y has left the building.... cheers R 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
