Neil Addington - 26th Div 2, 54th overall, 0 MoW
A first season for Neil in the most famous insurance market fantasy league on the planet and Neil found it hard going. Around about October/November he was on the periphery of the promotion zone but he couldn't push on from there and in the second half of the season Neil settled quite comfortably into a lower half position.
James Ashworth - 16th Div 1, 28th overall, 0 MoW
Young 5 bellies proved he was good enough for the top division with a good if not prize worthy season. He was quick out if the blocks (2nd in week 2), but he struggled to keep a title challenge going despite the odd peaks. However he was always too good for the bottom 10 and Jimmy will go again next
season.
Kirsty Baillie - 23rd Div 1 (relegated), 41st overall, 0 MoW
I'm not making this up, but I recently had a vivid (a bit too vivid to be honest) dream that Ready and Kirsty were, how shall I say, an item! Weird, weird because I never knew that Keith had a thing for Scots. No offence Lee. Kirsty had a surprisingly crap season after finishing 2nd and 3rd in the last two years. It did start well but she struggled to get her game, that we know she has, going. 38 weeks in the Drop zone out of 41 says it all.
Aaron Bardon - 24th Div 1 (relegated), 42nd overall, 0 MoW
Disappointing from Aaron but he did have a good period of play in the middle of the season. If nothing else he was consistent though after finishing 41st last season.
Lee Baughan - 17th Div 2, 39th overall, 1 MoW, Worst weekly score
Sweaty by his own standards had a good season. I mean he wasn't relegated (he couldn't be), he was comfortably not bottom and for a while he appeared to be on promotion form..... well that's not actually true, but we love you anyway pal.
Alastair Bigg - 9th Div 2 (promoted), 20th overall, 2 MoW
Two MoW's before the middle of September and top of Div 2 in week 5. Alastair had a superb first N&R season and never left the promotion race after week 2. Sadly a drop in form after February meant that he missed out on the Play-Off's but a deserved promotion was never in any doubt.
Neil Bixby - 7th Div 2 (promoted), 10th in Play-Off table, 12th overall, 1 MoW
A slow start for Neil but xx transfers. In the Play-Off's he never managed to get out of 10th place but we will see Neil eating at the top table next season.
Steve Black - 2nd Div 1
, 4th overall, 1 MoW
How Steve never made the Play-Off's is a complete mystery. A great start but floundered quickly when Steve crashed into the relegation zone in week 4. Apart from 3 weeks he occupied a bottom 10 place until the end of February. He made a couple of strategic changes and then Steve, who has built a reputation for closing strongly, put together a marvellous run to overtake 6 of the Play-Off qualifiers to finish 4th overall. Last year's late run brought a 3rd place.
Alex Boswell - 23rd Div 2, 47th overall, 0 MoW
A disappointing campaign but Alex did slowly get better as the season progressed and knocked in some decent scores in the last 10 weeks to finish well clear of the bottom.
Alex Byatt - 25th Div 2, 50th overall, 0 MoW
Alex was 3rd after in week one, then the world straightened itself and he settled back into mid table mode, although to be fair he did mix it in the promotion spots for a few weeks in October. His best finish since 2007 despite not making a single transfer.
