STBR Stats

Following the success of the Popped Collars last season, Friday night saw the claiming of a second consecutive premiership for the team through their offshoot 6-a-side institution, GG. The Grand Final victory was made all the more sweet by the fact that it was over a extremely vocal Indian Kangaroos - the team's arch rivals throughout the competition.

For anyone who wasn't there, sit right back and listen to the tale of tonight's indoor cricket game. For anyone who was there, sit back and re-live the event.

The story begins with the incomprehensible revelation earlier in the week that our Friday night 6-a-side team, "GGs", had been placed into D-Grade. That's right, a team made up mostly of players from a team which won the top division premiership last season at Weston had been placed in the 3rd of 4 grades at Lyneham. Don't forget that a couple of years ago the team abandoned Lyneham due to continued frustrations over their incompetence in grading teams properly. Well, now we are back, and that same incompetence has this time gone in our favour, rather than against us.

The story continues with a lot of people being unavailable to play, and no one being able to find people to fill in. Xavier and Brad decided that it didn't matter, and it would be an interesting challenge to try to take on a D-Grade team with only 4 players. So they did.

First off, you can download the new data file here, which now has the semi-final from Monday night included in it. Just replace the old "data.icd" file with this one.

Victory in the semi-final (against "Just One More", rather than "501" as I thought last week) takes us to the GRAND FINAL next week. Once again at our favourite time of 6:00!
