Captain’s Log, Stardate: (eeerrrrm) Today - wouldn’t flush!





There were however a good few flushes later on. More on that later.



Let’s begin with the first couple of games as set in the order of the puntables – both odd (as in uneven) margins. Spock would have approved as they were were logically numerical in a way that Bongser will highlight in red paint.



A Barrovian drop goal scuppered Bongser walking away with the points in this round. An unlikely second one would have seen Wanderer take the baton cleanly. No correct margins. =#FF0000SIX punters correctly called a home win. Pubbers, ‘Tommers & Vanners left in the abovementioned’s wakes (though it seems wakes can be quite jolly).



A second home win at Dewsbury and by a much wider margin than presaged by any of the assembled. However this win was augured by =#FF0000SEVEN. Pubbers ducked the away win this time but Vanners & ‘Tommers bit the bullet (phasers?) again. No correct margins.



Tight game at Fev. Looked like it would reach HT at 0-0 before late, converted tries were exchanged. More tension early doors in the latter 40 until Rovers finally found the warp drive pedal. No correct margins were again prophesied but we were up to =#FF0000EIGHT authenticated seers. Atomic (our glorious leader, Bongser will remind you) was in danger (after foreseeing three away victories) of reaching critical mass. Diana Ross and The Bee Gees were warming up in the wings to sing “Chain Reaction”.



Thankfully, Scotty got through to him just in time with the words,



“Ah cannae hold her! She’s breaking up!” Atomic withdrew his thermopile (much to Scotty’s undoubted relief) and, despite the loss of many , Doctor Kieron “Bones” McCoy managed to patch up enough of the remainder to man the bridge and get the shields raised again. Full set of =#FF0000NINE bona fide astrologers this time around, though no correct margins.



As to the BBQs, all again correctly went for Leigh at HT (bar Jacobus of Westleythian extraction) but no one nailed the margin there either. Pubbers was closest with 16 but he didn’t reach even halfway to 34. Great performance by the lads (it would seem) and there can be no quibble with the damaged shields shipping just 6 points (though the resultant shockwave sent many on the good ship flying from wall to wall in a choreographed manner and made most of the scenery shake.) Thankfully Owens nailed the last conversion to avoid a diabolical scoreline. Congratulations to Mitch Cox on a debut try. Huzzay!



Back to flushes and as we (Bongser here uses the Royal Flush “We”) were speaking of debutants and their maiden scores for Leythe, welcome again to Chayders. A promising Pokemon on your first start. Rum Below. Huzzay!!



However there were five others amidst we pigs (bring back Leigh Razorbacks – they were funnier than The Tower Circus) bought a Poke.



So to this week’s scores (that obviously also count as the standings in the new Mid8s) in numerical order but with the fresher at the top (Jean Luc told Bongser to “Make it so!”) This includes the multiple WWB of 25 apiece for the five leaders:



Chayders on 56

Chukkas on 56

Obi – Wan – Derer (yeah, sod it) on 56

Lieutenant Zulu (now you see) on 56

Bonkers on 56



Tights at the top (but Uhura preferred stockings – they made Spock’s ears prick up).



Jabobus on 29

Pubbers on 9

Vanners on 7

‘Tommers on 5



Bad week for the lastmentioned (how much did you wager on Fax?) He does, however have some belting weeks and therefore has been Kling' o' the heap for most of this season.



Let’s beam up to The Super8s.



Aaaargh!! Bongser just felt a shift in The Force (he’s mixing his metaphors again), like all too few souls crying out at once.



Standings:



Wanderers on 721

Chazzers on 718

Tommers on 713

Zools on 667 (narrow escape there Lt)

Pubbers on 657

Bonkers on 615

Jacobus on 473 (got off the quadruple Nelson there WLJ but it still gave you a gnat’s nudger of bad luck). Well done to Anderson & Broad btw (Bongser has it on good authority that they read this thread for motivation).

Cokey on 468

Vanners Whaler on 408

Diggers on 114

LX111 on 98

SaBadSel on 22



So, that about wraps it up for another mission. Bongser would like to thank everybody involved and therefore will leave you with these closing credits:
