Well, dress me up and call me Dorothy\u2026.. I don\u2019t think we are in Kansas any more Toto\u2026.\u00a0 The WWC tornado has blown a few teams away this week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wow.\u00a0 There are some stunning upsets in these results – and some stellar golf, it must be said.\u00a0 Where do I start?<\/p>\n

Pool A<\/strong> matches were tighter than the other groups, but finals pressure does funny things.\u00a0 Some stood up\u2026 Some wilted.<\/p>\n

Chronic Fatigue (6) def. The Back 9 Bandits (1) – 98-95<\/strong><\/p>\n

With only 3 players, the Chronic Crew scraped up enough points to stave off the fast finishing Bandits.\u00a0 Ben Newton & Luke Anstee the stars in this match.<\/p>\n

Drawshank Redemptions (2) def. Cockatoos (5) – 109-99<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cocky Cage was a little empty, with a couple of Budgies having flown the coop, and the Drawshanks were steady.\u00a0 Great round from George Huggard with 38.<\/p>\n

Grip N Sip (4) def. Angry Aardvarks (3) – 110-108<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Grippers have been a Smokey pick all year, and came up trumps.\u00a0 Will Nichols & Ben Alexander were the standouts.\u00a0 The Aardvarks put up a good fight, but a Captain\u2019s (or Major\u2019s) knock could not be found to save the day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pool B<\/strong> matches again provided their share of drama, with an upset and a tight tussle.<\/p>\n

Jug A Nauts (6) def. 40 Over (1) – 112-104<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow-man had the boys fired up, and they ran over the 40-Overs like a truck.\u00a0 Actually, more like a tractor\u2026 with the Mighty Ferg leading the way with a huge 41.\u00a0 Honourable mentions to Matt Sefton and Hayden Matthews for the Jugs, and Darren McFarlane for the Overs.<\/p>\n

Par Then Bar (2) def. Jugheads (5) – 107-82<\/strong><\/p>\n

An undermanned Jugheads couldn\u2019t match the Barflies this week.\u00a0 Big 38 from Russ Franz and a solid 36 from Shane and the Par Then Bar crew were home.<\/p>\n

Par Tee Time (3) def. 2-Non-Johns (4) – 105-103<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan Brown led the way for Par Tee Time with 38, with Skipper Roebuck in support.\u00a0 Solid team effort.\u00a0 The Non-Johns were unlucky, with their most consistent team effort for the season coming up just a couple short.\u00a0 Nice rounds from Pete Addo and Jim Thorpe (JT), too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pool C<\/strong> matches were like a bag of licorice allsorts\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

Hosel Rockets (1) def. Wuhan Warriors (6) – 105-98<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neale Wigney stood up for the Hosels with a fine 38, with Deano behind him on 34.\u00a0 They were too strong for the Warriors, who were a little short (injuries, apparently) and couldn’t manage to muster the numbers.\u00a0 Jay Oates and Clint Hocking were valiant in defeat with a pair of 34s.<\/p>\n

Lynch Mob (2) def. Why knots untangled? – 105-68<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Why knots? Ladies fell short his week, as they struggled for players.\u00a0 Lynch Mob were steady as she goes, as usual.\u00a0 Nice 37 from skipper Lynchie and a solid 35 from John Gordon combined to crush the championship dream for Why Knots?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hold on to your hats, folks\u2026<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s Ya Caddy? (3) def. Squirrel Nation (4) – on a count back – 86-86<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a dour struggle, Daniel Lee\u2019s 33 was good enough to beat Killa\u2019s 32 on a count back, and the Caddy Crew sneak through to week 2 of the playoffs.\u00a0 Devastating loss for the improving Squirrels.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And now we are on to Playoffs Week 2.\u00a0 Winners stay alive for the title, losers into the Wooden Spoon bracket.\u00a0 See attached for this week’s matches.\u00a0 They are 3-sided matches, with 2 winners going through in the Championship bracket, and 2 losers staying on for the Wooden Spoon bracket, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll try to get a preview of this week’s form in before the weekend.\u00a0 Have a great Wardrobe World Cup Week.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

Laney<\/p>\n
