The Soares Cup Matchday 5 Results

Greetings amigos,

The penultimate round of group games gave some managers the opportunity to cement their places in the semi-finals and others a last chance saloon at staying alive in the competition. SJ is the only manager in the former category - despite losing his final Group B match his 9 points and +12 points difference mean that he'll take his place in the semi-finals as the best runner-up even if Theo L, who defeated him 4-3 this time around, overtakes him with a convincing victory in his final match against Phil. In Group A Ben's 4-3 win over Theo W means that the group is wide open, with the winner of the final game between Jamine and myself winning qualification, whilst a draw would see Theo W progress. Dave's points difference make him the likely qualifier from Group C, although a big win for Mr O'Callaghan could see him leap from 3rd to 1st at the final hurdle.

Note: in case you're wondering why there's a discrepancy between these scores and the January results, this round of fixtures was based on the games taking place on 2-4 January, therefore points scored on 1st January did not count for these matches.

The final round of group fixtures will take place on the weekend of Saturday 4th February.

Take it easy,

Danny
