WIBL ’07 Standings – Week 5

All the round-robin games have been played now, so on to the playoffs!

Winter League results – Brighton Indoor (week 4) and London

At the December London Winter League, we could only field an Open team since many of our players had journied down to Plymouth for the Iron5 tournament. Quick summary from Waggle:

“The bad weather forecast didn’t materialise luckily for us, it was just a bit windy and a little cold, too cold for Fire of London it turned out as Brighton beat them 7-6. We took a 5-0 lead with some nice offence and tough D, Roach even got a callahan.

Next up was a fresh faced Ltd Release, again we started well with some good D and excellent long throws, special mention to Chris who skied Adian in the zone for a nice score. Final score 13-6.

Lastly was Revolution, old studenty guys. They only had 8 players and are old, so we took no pity on them and crushed them 13-3, kudos to Rimjob who was all over them and seemed to be everywhere on the pitch at once.”

Winning all our games meant we ended up in the #1 spot – that’s right, we’re winning the London Winter League open division! Hopefully we can maintain this awesomeness, and the Mixed team can make a good comeback when they reappear for the January event.

Meanwhile, here are the latest stats for WIBL along with commentary from Evil:

“The table has been updated and a lot has changed around the middle section. The top four remain in the same position with Basic Schooling very much in hand to take the top spot going into the second group stage/quarter after they manage a win over the reigning champions.

Also this week saw the first win for the Panthers, beating Pirates and moving very close to Squaws with just one point separating the two.”

Next WIBL event is 10th of January – if you want to play just come along to Moulecomb leisure centre at 8pm, there’s always a team that needs pickups.

Next London Winter League is 13th of January – if you want to play sign up on the YahooGroups database, or email or speak to Felix to put your name down.

A final note about practices, don’t forget that tonight is the last practice before Christmas; the first practice in January is Saturday the 5th. Hope you all have a great holiday!

WIBL ’07 Standings – Week 3

This week saw the match between the two teams heading the table – Fiddlewinx and Basic Schooling. Basic emerged victorious after a close match, winning 10-8. This puts Basic at the top of the table and currently undefeated, but they have yet to face Big Yellow Hat. Closely following them in the league table are Gashface, Big Yellow Hat, and Fiddlewinx, and many of the match-ups between those teams have still to happen so who knows what the league will end up like? Elsewhere, Squaws won their first match (against Panthers), having shown a marked improvement after last weekend’s Student Mixed Regionals, and Strangers With Candy won 2 more games to bring their win total to 3.

Don’t forget that the next few WIBLs are a bit more spaced out: the next event is the 6th December, and after that the 10th January.

WIBL ’07 Standings – Week 2

League Commentary by Evil:
What a week, with the big match of Gashface vs Basic Schooling living up to all expectations. A couple of huge D’s from Dougga, and Gash getting JCed. However, the spectacle of the week went to Post’s massive layout grab was quite awesome. Following soon after, was Gash throwing away when attempting an extremely easy pass to Post for the score…
Big change to note is Eunuch’s team climing high in the rankings up into 4th position having already played the top two meaning they could well be in a postion to finish third…
Next WIBL is next week and boy is it a big one. Three huge games, the battle for the top of the table between Fiddlewinx and Basic Schooling, the bottom of the table clash between Squaws and Panthers, and lastly the clash of the experienced Mohawks and the fresh Mohawk talent: Gashface vs Eunuch’s Freshers for third position in the table.
