Round 8 Update: Who’s leading the leaderboard?

A few cages have been rattled over the last few rounds and we’ve now got new leaders at the top of each division. Of course, a shout goes out to Nga Toa Whakapono – Faith Warriors who have climbed their way back from the bottom of the second division to lead Div2b!

Division 3 has been dominated by Sino United ever since the season kicked off. But in round 7 they met with Every Nation Victory, who have been closely chasing from the start. ENV took Sino to task in a hard fought match and won 3 – 1. Every Nation now leads the table by just 2 points. These teams won’t be meeting again in 2009 – but could Navs or Issachar be the answer to Sino’s prayers?

In Div2b we have the aforementioned Faith Warriors currently in line for the shield, but with a game in hand, both Shirley Strikers and Christchurch North are in position to take the trophy for their own. The wild card are the Vatican City Rovers – playing for pride… or playing with nothing to lose?

In the history of the league, has there been a tighter finish than Div2a? All 4 teams are within 2 points of each other on the table. All 4 teams are proven to be made of the ‘Right Stuff’. Just look at the result in Round 6 when all four drew against each other! The final 3 rounds are going to be tough for all these guys…

Finally we have Division 1 where Hornby Firsts have just had their first defeat of the season – at the hands of the defending champions no less! To top it all, this doesn’t even put South City into the lead, but clears a way for West Coast Riders! If this division gets any more exciting… well I’m going to START TYPING IN CAPS!

Stay warm, stay safe… stay optimisitic. Spring is but a month away!
