SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 18

DIVISION 3 GAMES

Melchester Rovers are still very much in the race for the playoffs, and when playing against the Falcons, although FA being a bottom half team, Bruce took no chances and played a boost to secure a win. That was a good thing, as it turned out that Nik also played a boost, and that levelled things. Now the basic quality difference between FA and MR decided the match, and that was in MR’s advantage: 8-11

SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 18

The top match in SAEFL was of course the clash between the nrs. 1 and 2 in div 3. SH is heading for the championship, being no less than 12 points ahead of SG, so if SG still wanted their chances to be more than just a theory, this was the match to do something about that. And that is exactly what Monty did: they beat the sheer unbeatable SH:3-0!!! On the other side: you can also say that this was a clever move from Len, resting his players in what will probably be the most difficult match of the season. He may have given 3 points away, but is still 9 points ahead, and now his players are fully rested to defend those 9 points in matches that will be easier than this one. We’ll see how it turns out in the end.

SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 18

Both African Selects and Adelaide Kickers are bottom half teams, but since they are both on 18 points, only 2 points away from the nr. 6 on the table, they are very much in the race for a playoff position. However, in that perspective, this match was important, and could not be lost. Both Colin and David understood that, regarding the boost and the grudge that were played. In the end, both AS and AK turned out equally strong. It was just that AS had the better GK, and this time, it DID make a difference: 11-10

SAEFL Season 12 WEEK 18

Trav Spoodle against Fantastic Eleven is a top half game. This week that is. You see, actually FE is the better team, and in this match, they show that. As a result of that, TS drop a place (after we just saw AS win), which means that next week, TS – FE would not be a top half match anymore. Anyway, TS remain in the race for the playoffs, while FE remain in the race for a direct promotion ticket.

The speedsters obviously decided this was a match worth fighting for and they played a grude. and it did the trick. This victory means they are only one point behind VA and still in the race for a playoffs position. The red card didn't influence the match.

And here is another grudge card played by the home team. This was the fight for (or agains)t the last position in the league. BS wasn't about to take that position from AV and they played the grudge to prevent it. With obvious succes! The red card didn't influence this game either.
