Breaking News 8888888 Grand Final ResultsAs expected Neil’s Gooner win league became the 13th N&R FL Champion securing top spot after a suitably MoW performance in week 42. 30 points for Neil meant that he won the title by a margin of 42 points from runner up Pete’s Bollocks to insurance. Neil truly deserved the title after never leaving the top 10, and first hitting top spot in week 8. As for Peter after a so-so start, once the N&R Group Stages got underway Pete was always in contention, leading the table most recently at week 36. This was Godders best finish since the 2001/02 season when he also came 2nd.
5 points behind in 3rd was Glasgow Kiss which ended a superb season for Kirsty after finishing 44th last season. Next was Loads of Roubles and John McGowan coming 4th and proving that the Aon Re man is one of the all time most consistent N&R performers after his 3rd place in 2008 and 7th in 2007.
In 6th was Boys on Tour. Greg dropped out of contention about the same time as swine flu hit his home town of Mexico City, but after last season’s 7th finish, this was another excellent season for Greg.
Soozie is also becoming one of the best ever N&R FL managers. Winner in 2006, Soozie’s Succulent Sizzlers finished 6th just overtaking Al’s Towels on the bench in the final week. 7th for Al was easily his best ever season (he collected the wooden spoon last year) – well done Oakers.
Another previous N&R FL champion Barry Plummer won himself an extra tenner in the final week with a 28-point score. 2Infinity & beyond jumped two places to 8th (Barry was 4th last season) relegating Tim & Frank’s Hot Pink Center to 9th and Steve’s Guinness & Black to 10th.
For all three American’s it was a proud moment. Both teams finishing in the Top 10. Tim & Frank are certainly not used to this exposure and they were N&R Cup runners up as well. Meanwhile Steve has threatened this kind of season in patches, well done to all three.
Missing out on the prize money in 11th was Rob Munden’s Elland (Glad) Back – see you in Division 3 in August mate. Torres Rosso and Aaron just didn’t have enough to break the top 10 like they did last season (5th), although 12th placed Mark did. Bent it like Bentley was 7th just 7 weeks ago but ended up in 13th.
In 14th was father and son team of Brighton Blues. Paul and Christian had their best ever season. Shay Reddy was always in contention without setting the world alight but improved on last year as The Pohutakawas finished 15th ahead of Chris Wright's Student Ninjas. Chris will disappointed after a top 6 place last time.
16th was a wonderful virgin season for Sarah. I first met her last summer at the end of season drinks and she proved to be an attractive and very able fantasy expert, Sheron's ready to fac are one to watch next season we’d say. We often put sis Soozie’s success down to big brother Jason, but it was proved wide of the mark as Jason’s Gunners Bandits finished 12 places behind his little sister. It might have been different if he’d not suffered a big dip in form after week 35.
In Tatters 30th last season finished 19th this time around. Nobby showed some of his best fantasy form in many a year, I even made all of my transfers, but my Nobby's Bermuda Shorts came up (way) short of my top 10 target by 10 places. And finally Preston nut Martin suffered another play off defeat and Preston Pie Munchers finished in last place of the Grand Final table. It is interesting to note that neither Nobby nor Martin would have finished in the top 3 of the Plate.
