25. CUP SEMI & SECOND LAST

1 May:

All the results are known, and also another error by is known too.

Apparently n the 26th April when the post was written is also the day the Atletico Madrid vs Villareal game was also played - so that game has been withdrawn.

But first - CUP SEMI FINALS.

Dem was hanging on over the bye with relegation pending, but with Amul losing and FMI getting a draw, he should be safe.

The Div 1 table is here and can confirm a few things.

DIVISION ONE
	TEAM	P	W	D	L	F	A	SD	PT	PP

13	@Amul82	23	4	7	12	60	75	-15	19	28

As per last week, AndrewM is the champion. At the foot, both FMI and Amul now cant escape the auto relegation spots. If Dem wins and Ross loses next week, Dem emerges from the relegation playoff spot and Ross will have to play one more match to survive.

In Div 2, its also very interesting.

Automatic promotion and the playoff berth are still wide open for 6 players. And some of those chasing promotion meet next week.

In the battle at the bottom for [theoretical] relegation [if next year is an expanded competition etc], there are three players who could end up in the two contentious spots.

Also Laurence has the bye so will finish last of the 26 players.


Next weekends post out soon.

LEAGUE

Over in the League we have Dem having the bye in D1. He will need to watch nervously as the Amul and FMI play on against other opponents.

In D2, Amos has a bye and will also need to watch other is chasing his spot in promotion race.
At the other end, it is now or never for Laurence. A bye next week means this is his last shot at staving off relegation.
