Mark makes it 3

Week 18 - Manager of the Week
Mark Gregory collected his hat-trick of MoW's before Christmas in week 18. Mark scored 42 points, 5 clear of his nearest rival and goes into the Christmas period with the N&R FL's best score.

Nearest challenger Steve Merchant hit the next best with 37 as after 18 weeks the two divisions start to shake out. Neil Bixby scored 36 and Steve Black found some much missing form with a 35.

Then there was Sav with 34, Johnny 33, Div 1 leader Rob with 30 and Mark Simmons, whose form changes like Carlos Tevez mind, who also slammed home 30.

It was 28 points for Davor and Neil Reynolds, who thinks he's having a crap season - have you seen where Ready is Neil? And Richard Richards scored 27.

Managers to mention this week are Muddy who did well with a 22, the same as Sarah. Soon to be married Sweaty scored 20, Brett 17, Hilary 15, Emma 13, Tim and Dennis a piss poor 10 and last of all Blunty and Boswell with 8 pts.
