Field Sorted for Winter Swiss Finals

The final round of qualifying tonight has sorted out the teams which will now slog out three rounds of round robin for the final, plate and consolation titles.

A top of the table draw saw Homer's Heros and Breg maintain their respective first and second places. They are joined in the top four by the House team who had a stunning 23-7 upset over the Musketeers to elevate themselves to third. Meanwhile Youthz & Oldz stung the Tiger-bees after illness to one of the "olds" (Tom Jacob) paved the way for wife (and mother), Steph, to come in and show them how it was done! Their 20-10 win took them to fourth.

Leading the plate (and favourites for it) are Tiger-bees. Online Go Girls had an 18-12 win over the Masters to slot in at 6th. Hugh's BBC and Musketeers will also compete for the plate.

The remaining four teams will fight it out for the Consolation. They all get a clear sheet with no carry over.

One interesting quirk is that after round 1 if you had swapped the Musketeers and the House team you would have the same teams filling top 4, middle 4 and bottom four as have done so after a further four rounds of swiss qualifying. Makes you wonder why we bothered playing all those rounds I guess! :-)
