Here’s results from the 2nd stage of the Super4s/Plate4s
Super 4s
Hurricanes 81/5 (10ovs) lost to Hockey 83/4 (9.5ovs) by 2 wickets
Hockey 11pts, Hurricanes 4pts
Eclipse Print 99/4 (10ovs) bt Cavaliers 85/5 (10ovs) by 14 runs
EP 12pts, Cavs 3pts
Plate 4s
Rhiwbina 50/5 (6.3ovs) lost to Uni Staff 51/2 (5.1ovs) by 4 wickets
UST 13pts, Rhw 2pts
Casuals 97/5 (10ovs) bt CBB 57/6 by 40 runs
Cas 15pts, CBB 0pts
So the tables (below) mean that we go in to the final round next week (Thu 18 Nov) with 5 teams still having trophies to play for (so the organisers must’ve got it right somewhere along the lines J)
Super4s Table
1. Eclipse Print – 27pts
2. Hockey – 15pts
3. Cavaliers – 14pts
4. Hurricanes – 4pts
The maths … Eclipse will win the Super4s title if they lose to Hockey but pick up 2 losing bonus points; meanwhile, Hockey can secure the title with a maximum point win over Eclipse; however, Cavaliers could pip both if they have a maximum point win over Hurricanes and Hockey beat Eclipse with a 14-1 split on the points … so slide rules, log tables and calculators to the fore next week
Plate4s Table
1. Casuals – 30pts
2. Uni Staff – 23pts
3. CBB – 5pts
4. Rhiwbina – 2pts
Maths is slightly easier … Uni Staff win the Plate if they beat Casuals and pick up at least one bonus point; a win or a narrow loss (securing 5 bonus points) would see Casuals pick it up
Presentation of trophies
The games have been scheduled so that each competition is playing at the same time, so Plate4s trophy will be presented at the completion of the first set of games; ditto for the Super4s
Cheers
