Massive apologies for the delay in posting the results for Round 8, but here they are (better late than never!).
FEE top scored with 13 in an otherwise low scoring round as the Blues recorded a 4 match to 3 win to extend their overall lead to an almost unassailable 15 points. The reds would need at least 6 wins and 1 draw from the final Round (when all 16 players participate), and to overturn a 12 goal inferior goal difference in the process. Suffice to say the fat lady is exercising her vocal chords as I post, though the Reds will I'm sure do their best to ensure she isn't singing the Chimes on Saturday evening.
The individual table is somewhat closer with Bluesbro' leading by 2 points from St Jim, who in turn leads USPF and Lindford by 1 point. With USPF facing St Jim in the final round, any of these four can (in theory) still take top spot, though Lindford's GD is by far the worst of the top four.
At the other end of the table, LiT needs a last round win and for at least one of Ned, Rob or Ziggy to lose in order to avoid the wooden spoon.
I'll do my best to post the results a little more promptly this weekend. In the meantime, thanks to you all for participating and keeping Dougie's spirit alive. Cheers!
