Men's Superleague
(30/4/08) The Royal Oak are the new champions. May I personally
give my congratulations to all the members of the Harlesden based side.
However, the league is not over yet. The Tithe Farm SC still sit in second
place, but Caesars can still overtake them with a win in their final game
against Blarney's. Blarney's have a further game to play against Harrow Borough
who need to take a win their to make sure they don't finish bottom of the pile.
Blarney's in their own right can climb from their current position of sixth up
to fourth with two wins themselves so there is still positional pride to play
for in the two remaining games.
As we have known for several weeks, Mark Walsh is home and hosed in top spot in
the averages, but it was Ian Long who came out with the best results over the
past two weeks to take second place, and be assured of finishing in the top
three. Richie Davis is in third, but both he and Ian can be overtaken by Vern
Sheppard, should he win against Blarney's.
(22/4/08) After the re-arranged matches, it is now officially a
two horse race. The Royal Oak and Caesars will battle it out for the title next
week, with a win for either side confirming the title, or, in the event of a
draw, Caesars will need to win their final match against Blarney's. The Tithe
Farm SC can still finish level on points with the top side, but due to their
inferior leg difference, and the fact that the top two side play each other, the
title is mathematically out of reach.
The race for the averages is almost certainly over, with Mark Walsh recording
another win and another 30+ average. Second and third spots are still well and
truly up for grabs though- Regards, John.

Stats
(15/4/08) John Scott -"It seems like forever since I sent
out the last instalment of the Mens' Super League averages, and it has been a
while so I thought I should recap on what has been a close fought season.
Caesars still sit top of the pile with 21 points from 12 games. The Royal Oak
still sit just one point behind and the two teams square up against each other
in the next round of fixtures. The Tithe Farm SC are hoping for a minor miracle
now with just two games to play, and two points to make up, but after being in
contention for most of the season, they have to be happy with their first
serious title challenge despite threatening on paper for years. Below the top
three comes a massive gap to last years champions Father Ted's, who have also
played a game more than the teams above them, but it is Blarney's who perhaps
hold the key to the title with games against both Caesars and the Royal
Oak to come.
So, it's squeaky bum time in the title race, and only time will tell who comes
out on top. The smart money is on Caesars, but you can't discount the Royal Oak,
and it will certainly be one hell of a game.
In the averages, there is not much chance that anyone is going to catch Mark
Walsh (Blarney's) who sits clear at the summit with a possible four win points
still to play for. The money for second and third places are a more open race
with Richie Davis (Father Ted's) leading the pack at the moment. Adam Simpson
(Hayes FC), currently in third, Vern Sheppard (Caesars), Ian Long (Tithe Farm
SC), Mark Haggerty (Caesars), Gary Noonan (Royal Oak) and George McKie (Caesars)
could all sneak in at the last moment to take the money as they all have two
games to play, compared to Richie Davis' one".
(25/2/08) The league tables are as below, thanks to Johnny Scott.
(11/2/08) Caesars remain top of the table by a single point despite not playing this week, but the Royal Oak strengthened their own push for the title with a win over Tithe Farm SC, which moves them into second place.
(27/1/08) Only one match this week, with Caesars sharing the points with Father Ted's. Caesars therefore remain top of the table, two points clear of Tithe Farm SC but having played a game more.
On a different matter.....Just a quick message to you all regarding the position of Super League treasurer. At the current time, Sharon Sadler does the job but she is no longer able to continue in this role due to work commitments. She has asked that I communicate this to you all in the hope that someone would like to take over the job. Please direct your responses to me, and I will forward them on to the appropriate parties - Regards, John Scott
(10/12/07) The free week saw Caesars play one of their
re-arranged matches against Harrow Borough, and a 10-2 win closed the gap at the
top to just one point between the top three. Caesars of course have another game
in hand, but with that being against local rivals Hayes FC, anything can
happen!
(26/11/07) Here we are at the halfway stage and the season is already shaping up to be a tight one. Tithe Farm SC's win over local rivals Harrow Borough sees them sit on top of the table for the first time this season after the Royal Oak slipped on the Caesars banana skin. With Caesars themselves only three points off the pace but with two games in hand, they could well be on top before the next round of games in January. See you all soon, and if I don't see you before hand, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Regards, John
(12/11/07) An eventful week in the Mens' Super League saw the Royal Oak keep top spot with a 10-2 victory over Harrow Borough. Tithe Farm SC kept up the pressure on them with an 8-4 win against Blarney's. Father Ted's were 8-4 winners over Hayes FC and Caesars won all eight singles in their 10-2 win agsinst the LPR. George McKie (Caesars) had the top average of the week with a 28.36 in his win over Brian Arthur (LPR) who in turn had the lowest average of the week!!! Ben Stevenson (Tithe Farm SC) has 'got your number' as he recorded a 118 finish in his win during Tithe Farm's victory - which in turn saw the highest team average of the week with their 24.96 against Blarney's.
(14/10/07) On receipt of the sheets from Harrow Borough vs Father Ted's this morning I have compiled the averages for this week. I know some of you may not get them in time to print for your teams tonight, but with the post strike on I have had no way of getting to some of the stats until today. The Caesars vs Blarney's match has averages but no pairs results and no attendance as I have not had the sheets yet but Linda Haggerty kindly e-mailed me the singles results. Also, this week I have started using my new spreadsheet (which I built) for the stats. Use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to view the league table, averages and pairs tables, as well as the results. See you all soon, John.
(1/10/07) The second week of the Super League has been and passed and with it, some more results to turn the table on it's head. Showing the competitive strength of the league this season, only two teams have won both of their opening matches.
The Royal Oak continued their strong start to the season demolishing Blarney's 10-2. After their defeat of last years champions in the first week, they look like favourites to give the title a good crack this year but we have seen strong sides fall before, and it is a long season.
Tithe Farm SC are the other team to have won both their matches, but in contrast have not impressed quite as convincingly - taking an 8-4 victory over the LPR despite being 4-0 up after the pairs, after a late surge took a victory over Hayes FC after being 4-5 down in week one. In complete contrast to this, the LPR and last years champions, Father Ted's are the only teams to have been defeated twice.
Don't expect the Kilburn clan to still be there come the end of the season, but once again it just goes to prove once again that this years title will be a tough one to get your hands on!
WEEK TWO STATS:
TOP AVERAGE: Jason Clark (Royal Oak) 29.18
TOP FINISH: Gary Noonan (Royal Oak) 164
TOP TEAM AVE: Royal Oak (vs. Blarney's) 25.99

(20/9/07) With the KO Cup over and done with, it was time to get
down to the nitty gritty of the Super League proper. In one of the most
competitive seasons for some time, there was lots of speculation as to who would
win the title this season with last years champions Father Ted's and form teams
Royal Oak and Caesars (formerly Hayes FC 'B'), plus the
strengthening of Blarney's and Tithe Farm SC giving all the ingredients for a
cracking season.
In week one the champions were dealt their first blow as they were heavily
defeated 3-9 by the Royal Oak. In other games, Tithe Farm SC, famous for their
poor starts, recovered well to take their match against Hayes FC 7-5 despite
being 4-5 down, and Blarney's made easy work of the LPR, taking all eight
singles matches to win 11-1 overall.
WEEK ONE STATS:
TOP AVERAGE: Richie Davis (Father Ted's) 29.47
TOP FINISH: Mark Walsh (Blarney's) 143
TOP TEAM AVE: Royal Oak (vs. Father Ted's) 26.45

(6/7/07) Last night the season started with the 8's competition. In the first round an impressive Caesars team boasting the likes of Mark Haggerty, Roy Peacock, Peter Evison, and Viagara Vern amongst others, were beaten by a strong Tithe Farm team in the first round. The most beautiful team in the competition was beaten by those handsome devils from the Royal Oak, and Father Teds and Blarneys beat Hayes FC and LPR respectively.
In a titanic battle the Royal Oak went down to Tithe Farm in round 2. This caused major repercussions in the City as stocks and shares tumbled on the London Stock Exchange, leading to a pay cut for Chris Hill and Ian Long. Father Ted's progressed to the final with a win over Blarneys.
Scotty Robertson aside, Johnny Scott was the hero of the evening getting the winning double in both the semi final and the final as Tithe Farm retained their title after beating Father Teds.
