The final round of group fixtures in the 2015-16 Soares Cup produced the drama that we've come to expect from the competition. In Group A, Theo L edged out Ben 6-5 to win the group with an impressive 8 points and an unbeaten group stage. The result meant that Ben completed a torrid defence of his title without a win to his name. In Group B Dave powered past Theo W 9-6 and stole his place in the semi-finals in the process. Finally in Group C, the closest group in Soares Cup history ended with Nick defeating SJ 9-6, but SJ progresses to the knockout phase on points difference as all 3 managers ended the group stage level on 6 points apiece. The final semi-final place goes to the best runner-up which this year is Phil - his 7 points would often be sufficient to win a group and so he deserves his place in the latter stages. Theo W, Nick and myself can count ourselves a little unfortunate that our respective 6 point hauls see us exit the competition.
The semi-final line up looks like this:
Phil v Dave
SJ v Theo L
The first leg of the semi-final will take place during the weekend of 5th March, and the second leg during the weekend of 2nd April.
Take it easy,
Danny
