It's Tight At The Top As The Good Times Keep On Rolling
By heck it is, with the Top Ten covered by just 5 points
and 3 players jostling for space on the second step of the podium
a single point behind Kiwi John, who holds on to top spot thanks to the single point gained (or was that two points lost
) when Mr Zanzala joined the Stanley scoring team with his late winner.
KJ was in the pragmatic middle of the optimist/pessimist divide on Tuesday, with 15 hoping
/expecting
/getting
a third successive win, against 6 sitting on the fence and 5 more on the wrong side of it. Amongst the maxis MikeA and Tom D joined 3-point Leylandii at equal second, from 5=, while Cashman's 5 points took him alongside falling 1-point Lord Stiffupperlip at 5= (Cashy up from 9=
, Lord S down from 2=
). The final 2 maxis were at the lower end of the table, with Accytom18 leaping from 24th to 17th, while Accyborn only climbed from 28th to 26th
, but moved closer to the pack.
The upward moves at the top saw Football19, Div3North, Mab and AccyMad slipping back but all retaining their places in the elite, the only change in the Top Ten rollcall being AndyD joining AccyMad at 10= by virtue of taking 4 points to her 3. The only other 4 pointer was DaveinGermany, resulting in an upward move for him from 18th to 13th.
So on we roll to some Meadow in Shropshire. All good things must come to an end, but surely it's fair to say, please
, pretty please
, not just yet.
