Due to lack of tables in one venue the finals series format has had to change this year. Division 2 Preliminary finals day will be at Calypso Hotel on Sunday 22nd November 10.00 start. (4 teams will be eliminated) Division 1 will be at Twin Towns on Sunday 22nd November 10.00 start. (4 teams to be eliminated). The semis and Grand Final day for Divisions 1&2 will be at the Calypso Hotel on Sunday 29th November 11.00 start.
Only one team left at the top of the heap undefeated Underbelly. At least for 1 more week
We need some feed back on the possible revamp of the finals day. The current state of available tables at any one venue will mean the top 8 will play on a different day to Division 2, That ensures the Finals day is always held in Coolangatta. When a venue with 8 tables in the area becomes available in the future of course we will use it.
We need opinions on changing the finals format to the NRL or AFL formula which gives top teams the double chance. Also the playing of the peliminary finals on one weekend and the 2 Grand Finals on the following weekend on the same day. We need your feedback on these options or the third option of leaving it as it is. Let Poppy, Nortyh, Irene, Steve Geraghty, and Watty know your views.
Its getting tough at the top nd X Men felt the heat and went into melt down in the last quarter against last years minor premiers Dangerous D's with the P back. Both Captains Terry and Dean were the best on field for their teams with trables. X Men would have felt at least a draw was their worst result after taking out Dean McDonald to lead 7-6 but the D's (and the P) wouldn't lay down and took out the last 3 frames and grabbed the win and push X Men back to 3rd on the ladder.
Dangerous D's & A P 9 X Men 7. 
Dene heremaia made a brief comeback for Rhythm & Cues and he and little sister Min took out the Broad's in the last quarter to give Jeff Peters a chance to grab an upset draw against Lindrum, alas foe Que it wasn't to be and Dennis Watt took the win and the 2 valuable points to keep Lindrum entrenched in the 8. Northy was outstanding with all 4 and Dene's treble kept the losers in it but was not quite enough.
Lindrum 9 Rhythm & Cues 7.
At 6-3 Norfolk N Way were beating their chests against Cellar Dwellers but Kingsley won his one frame for the night and got us back into it. at 6-7 we were looking down the barrel again with Pedro on a treble against steve Geraghty on one win. Steve got out of jail with a magic draw snooker with the black over the pocket and he cleared up to keep us in it. I got lucky against Dean W and we shared the points, both teams will think they should have won but a draw was a fair result. Pedro and Poppy got trebles.
Norfolk N Way 8 Cellar Dwellers 8. 
Once again Annie held her hand up against the undefeated Underbelly and took out Trent, Credo and Bobby Kahlu to carry on her great form leading into the Nationals in Canberra. All the Underbelly boys scored trebles and are cock of hoop on top but next week we will see how good they really are as they take on my lads.
Underbelly 12 Skywalkers 4.
The scoreline between Evolution and Far Cue looked tight but it was a case of Evolution sleeping through the last quarter and Far Cue steaming home to add some credibilty to the score. Kerry and wayno were on track for unbeaten nights but snoozed in the last quarter to get trebles. Rod, Scotty and Garry got doubles but needed to turn a couple of those into trebles to get the cash.
Evolution 9 Far Cue 7.
Paulies Gr8te Balls Of Fire were long ods on favourites to roll Bruns Boys and at 6-3 all was on track but hold the phone the 2 Peters and Rod got into it and in the blink of an eye it was 6all and a few nervous twitches were happening but the boys and Jude put there heads down to get the money and grab 2nd spot on the ladder. Peter Peter and Rod were good with doubles with Rob Pleming best on ground with 4 from 4.
Gr8te Balls Of Fire 10 Bruns Boys 6.
Super Eights skipper Peter Passet was the difference between winning and losing against Sniveling Dogs. They were 8-2 up and it took Pete's win over Robyn to get the win 9-7. Roger Ross got a treble and Robyn got on board with a huge win over Kylie.
Super Eights 9 Sniveling Dogs 7.
Gone Fishing keep winning and are going well while Mel Cassar bounced back with a double for the assassins. In laws Nick anf fisho were sensational with 8 from 8.
Gone fishing 12 Assassins 4.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Inlaws Fisho and Nick Torpy for puting together 8 from 8 between them for Gone Fishing.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Lindrum for holding up games to allow Dene and Vikki make it late and compete. Good to see.
