A follow up to the mid-season review, the race for promotion has gotten even more exciting across the three Division 1 competitions.
DIV 1.1
Since round 13, we’ve seen 0Fubar You drop out of the top three, and The Obscurials hit some impressive form with a perfect run from 6th to take them into 3rd place, including a positive 2-1 win over BES MUDI BANDITS in the latest round. This victory effectively halted the run for the Bandits and getting a couple of games clear, instead just a win ahead of the next two and leaving the automatic promotion to anyone. Darwin Saville hold onto 2nd by a few goals in the difference, but the final round should tell the tale. Green Sheep may hold the key to the victors with matches against Gunyah, Darwin Saville FC and BES MUDI BANDITS over the coming rounds.
We already noted last time how far ahead of the pack Harry Cool is, so that’s kind of a no-brainer to say they’ve got the title well and truly wrapped up now. Canazaro is a mere second place and should hold on to that spot, leaving the 3rd place to be desired. Despite losing their past two matches, Mount Pleasant FC have jumped into 3rd thanks to Stone Eagles only gathering 4 points from the past fortnight. No changes have been recorded from 5trh to 12th, but Selbourne and Vikings are still within an earshot of making the playoffs.
Somehow Collingwood dropped a match bringing them back into the pack of the automatic promotion. Safety Squad smashed them 4-0 just two rounds ago despite the even contest around the ground thanks to two goals each from national striker Keefer Carragher and Rodney Lord. Rounding out the top three is Warburn F.C as they now have a 2-win break over Elite FC who dropped two matches in Rounds 14/15. Not much has changed at the bottom end of the ladder, but expect the key game to be Round 22’s Warburn F.C vs Safety Squad to complete the standings.
