Blind Squirrel Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 After a titanic battle the Highlanders have defeated a gallant Turbo team - well played you cart-pulling champs! Commiserations to my lads - the captain was absolute shite today (just listening to John Allen's irish brogue and caught the bug). Never to mind we will be back, bigger, badder and bolder - you have been warned 😜 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Well done, PJ .....on my rough calculation your Icebath BB has you nailing me by about $4 ! A crucial $4 for the Ferdies...with you proving to be their 'Man of the Hour'. Good match, close finish, worthy winners PJ and the Ferdies. On ward & upward for the Mighty Blues ....there's always next week ....new opponent ...new challenge. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, it's probably just me, but it's always been my take that in Australia (unlike in NZ) you've really got to give something the 'bash' in order to get a result reversed. A brief "touch-up" won't cut it. Even with as good a debater as Craig Williams, and the winning margin being small. And the ultimate decision seems to bear that out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks Blind Squirrel & your teammates for the match , a tough battle till the last. Well done team Highlanders for sneaking a win but alas not enough bonus points for us. Many thanks PJ but today I'm more worried about our warrior Rex , hope your health improves me mate , Kia Kaha .

Jack rounded out the day with a ripper BB quinella to take Man of the Match honours with Ian going 3-for-3.

The Blues all missed in the last and their bonus point for a superior aggregate was halved thanks to the Ferdies Black Adder play. Pete was Man of the Match with 5 straight winners in the middle of the card while PJ was 'Naki MVP. 157.80 Heather 155.20 Gordy 207.20 Zac 370.00 Pete 82.00 Maurice 167.00 Geoff 239.00 PJ 235.00 Howie 120.80 Tom 0.00 Roland 2 TURBOS (6th) $835.20 0 points 3 HIGHLANDERS* (7th) $1000.00 2 (x 2 Joker play) = 4 points The Highlanders had led since crossing the ditch and held on in the last with Rex claiming a BB to take Otago MVP honours while Craig also labelled the final winner.

The Swamp Foxes win consolidated their 2nd spot while today's successful Joker players - The Highlanders - made up 4 places with their win. The Ferdies win took them up a spot passing their victims the Blues who dropped one. The Magpies lost 3 places in defeat while the Turbos who also lost gave up one. The Kats were winners but remain in the cellar (for now) and only 8.5 points off the lead. Five Jokers to come in the Final two rounds so anything could happen.
