4 DYNAMITE (1st)

$1291.60

3 points
 

Parsifal gave Dynamite a big fright in the last when he hit the front at the 200 but Zoutori saved the leaders' bacon and was successfully tipped by AK's MVP Moose as well as Stevie N (also with a BB), Ian and Junior. Junior just edged Rocky for Man of the Match honours with Dynamite adding a bonus point for the 4-1 margin.

3 ANIMAL KINGDOM (3rd)

$1409.60

AK held on after The Bostonian couldn't reel in the first two. Heather, Graeme and Moose got the final winner for Animal Kingdom and got them past the team profit mark while Rocky (with a Q), Ian (with a BB) and Junior scored the final $$ for Dynamite. Ziggy was Dynamite's MVP while "dog bite Rob" was clearly on some good drugs as Man of the Match

4 points

0 FIVE-O (3rd)

$794.80

0 points
 

Everyone missed in the last although the runner-up would have reduced UTR's margin to just 3-2 as Hesi and Virgil would have beaten Tom and PJ respectively. Good effort again team UTR with back-to-back 5-zip wins ! Virgil was Five-O MVP and unlucky to draw Man of the Match PJ who nailed 6 winners as did Pete. Under The Radar took two additional bonus points for the 5-0 margin.

261.00 Sharne

3 FIVE-O (5th)

$1113.40

2 points
 

The favourite delivered for John in the last getting him up to defeat Sharne and secure the win for Five-O - well done guys. The other 4 Five-Os also found the final winner with Virgil, Craig and Punter Pete adding BBs with only Pete and PJ replying for UTR who nevertheless took a bonus point for a slightly higher aggregate. Craig was a clear MVP for the victors while PJ was Man of the Match.

THE MOST MAGNIFICENT 1
4454.40 Ashoka (La Bodega)

Tremendous performance by Ashoka over the 14 Rounds. His prize (the Cambridge Stud branded rugby jersey) hath been dispatched by the ever-efficient workers at
Mustelid Promotions (Unlimited), a shadowy division of Mustelid Media, itself a subsidiary of the almost-global and even more mysterious Mustelid PR.

I presume MUSTELID PR has one of these systems ??

My money is on Graeme being the badger, Heather the wolverine, Rob the Fisher and Max the "otter" one - of course we know what Moose looks like !

[VC!]

In the wee hours of the morning hardly a breath of wind team DYNAMITE snuck into Animal Kingdom headquarters and “BOOM “ there they were practicing discussing even singing what dirty tactics they were about to enforce 

We could hear it.....it went something like this

A win away

A win away 

A win away

A win away 

Obviously a win away from the Grand Final they were singing hear listen for yourself 

 

We thought we had heard it all

But no we were wrong there was more to come a cunning plan so evil Animal Kingdom had prepared another little tune which they had prepared to sing to team Dynamite to try and lure us Gentlemen and Stevie N into a false sense of security 

Well little chippers you may well or may not be well aware November the 5th has just passed and we’re ready armed and dangerous 

And my memory is Max is Simon (going to the fair)

Holy hell, haven't seen a pic of Great Uncle Wolverine for yonks - he's put on some pounds - mebbe that's why they call him 'guto guto'. And cousin Bob the Badger..such a clever bugger, made a fortune in dam building with his mate Oscar there. Dunno wot became of ol' Fish Fisher from California though...last I heard was on the Endangered Species list, but he drank a lot, so that's his own fault.

Thanks for the pic, PJ..I'll show it to Mrs W and the Wee Weasels tonite,  then put it the Family Album.

For the record, AKs do not have team meetings of any kind. We have implicit faith in each other's abilities. We are also very good at crossing our fingers, toes, paws, hooves and whatever else is required and on Saturday at least, we trust that by Friday Team Dynamite will have let off all the ammo in their neighbourhoods.
