Fantasy cricket

We're now up to date.

Its been a tricky week in the Fantasy cricket. There were 7 jokers played in total - but with the Firsts and Seconds not scoring many, and the thirds not bothering to get out of bed they were well and truly wasted (the jokers - not the thirds - though they may well have been with not having to get up for cricket in the morning)

So, MVP for the week was the most English Welshman ever to tread a pair of flip flops - Mr Robert Jones, who relatively pootled to his 69 in the win for the firsts against Reed -aided by a couple of catches as well. Rob W and Shamus Brown came in joint second with 6.

That means that Rob Walters oozed back to top spot in the Season to date MVP competition, overtaking Neels and opening up a bit of a gap over Jimmy Kopodopolus and Rocky Cuffaro of 11 and 12 respectively. Thats only a weeks worth of points on a good week, and theres only a few weeks to go.

In the Fantasy league, the Ladies were well and truly put back in their boxes - with the lads of the big R's coming out on top. Rob Jones had a clean sweep after winning the MVP - following it up with a Fantasy weekly win - 10 ahead of Rob Walters; and two other R's just behind them in the shape of Rocky and Rich.

The result launched Rob Jones (not the easiest thing to do) up the league into 4th just behind Ted Sturdy. Bills leads at the top was cut again by his Mum, and its down to just 7 points with 3 weeks to go. Jackies lead over Todd is 21 points - and with the 3's not bothering playing again this week it will make closing the gap a bit harder
