The mini league is managed by Neil.
Latest update from the main man...
Parkgrange Mini League Update
Premiership
Joff has this tied up with Malc being the only other realistic contender following a season of good form. At the bottom after a flying start Les holds up the relegation battle between the bottom 4
Championship
Remember the top 3 will go up to the Premiership (see below) and it looks like two of these positions will be taken by Greg and Daz. At the bottom but still safe in league 2 Nick will be thanking the restructure.
Not looking so good
This league disappears with the top three going up to the second and the bottom three heading for the bucket. With that in mind it appears that a clear split is forming between the top and bottom 3 seeing Tony, Roy and Terry facing life sat around a bucket without a bite.
Can’t Catch Fish in A Bucket League
With only one getting out, this is the most interesting and closely fought battle with anyone in with a chance. Except Mark (sorry mate) oh and the mysterious Ted
-----------------------------------------------------
Ok One match left some positions mathematically sorted and some arses now twitching let’s have a look
Premiership
Joff Stocks |
Well done to the big man, top of the league and top of the mini, well done |
Neil Ward |
Premiership secured for next year (of course) |
Malc Nichols |
Has it all to do next match if life in the big time is to continue |
Les Redfearn |
May well stay up with a three point lead on the followers |
Greg Hardy |
Oh dear! Was that night out worth it? Getting pissed has left him in the drop zone |
John Beeken |
Could well stop up considering Joff is going for the big ones next match (half a tin of luncheon meat on a size 2 hook) |
Championship
Derek Broadhurst |
PROMOTED provided he turns up and get a point next match. well done Derek hope you are ready to mix it with the big boys |
Bob Purseglove |
ALMOST PROMOTED if he only gets a point next match and Daz gets six it will go down to combined match weights throughout the season. Time for those bum cheeks to start a twitching big man, big time is on the horizon |
Daz Baxter |
Could upset BOB (see above) but has it all to do but will definitely be in the Championship next year. |
Brian Scott |
Mathematically if Brian knobbles Bob and Daz so that they miss next match and he gets six points he could go up!!!! More realistically I would be watching out from them below because you are far closer to the drop zone. |
Reece Gibbon |
Well Reece is looking to Brian or Daz to drop a huge one and take his place in the drop zone |
Aaron Easton |
RELIGATED league one next year I am afraid. Still keep your pecker up (remember you are up against men (one or two anyway)) and come back older and wiser next season and show all those old gits how to do it. |
League 1
Nick Bennett |
PROMOTED AS CHAMPION with a match to spare! Well done mate a bloody good season and well deserved. |
Mark Holden |
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
What have you all been effing about at
You could all go up but then again you could all go down with Mark being favorite to move up and Meve Favorite to go down.
This should make for a very interesting weigh in. let’s face it lads two of you are going to the pit of despair while one gets the esteem of the championship. |
Brian Redfearn |
Terry Scott |
Tony Frith |
Merv Baxter |
-----------------------------------
With 12 points left to fish for (14 in bucket league) things are warming up let’s see what we have got
Premiership
With Joff still top spot we have Les making a dash for it and pushing John into last spot but with only 3 points between third and sixth it’s anyone’s!
Championship
Bobs big whopper (well done mate) has put him back as joint top while Aaron has taken up residence in the bottom spot
League 1
Nick proves his worth again and moves ever nearer promotion along with mark while Tony, Terry and Merve face it off for relegation
Can’t Catch Fish In A Bucket League
New member Craig has come in and won his league this week (come on Handsworth) but at this late stage will be unable to catch Roy or Paul. Terry Jamie or Mark however are all within a shout of promotion
Neil
--------------------------------------
Over half way there and moving swiftly on from woodlands (which for me was crap) let’s look at the movers and shakers
Premiership
With Joff holding on to top spot we have Les, Greg (not very happy to find you get no points for not weighing in nor that you do not drop your worst match in this league) and John now firm favourites for the drop who will survive?
Championship
With an atmospheric dominance in the championship Bob is now faced with trying to hold on to the second position with Reece and Daz in contention. Looking at the drop zone Aaron and Brian need to come up with some points.
League 1
Nick and mark still hold the promotion spots (Nick is now joint second in the big league with me and I intend to leave a bum deposit in his bait prior to Sundays match) and the other four could all slip up with no clear bottom two. Mind you if Brian keeps smashing poles he may be worth a bet.
Can’t Catch Fish In A Bucket League
Roy seems to be putting some distance between him and the rest with the second spot very much up for grabs. Bob has finally accepted that his friend really was a figment of his imagination and will be removing him from the league, but in the spirit of fairness I will still be awarding 7 points to the winner of the league each time.
Neil
-----------------------------------------------------
Right a quick update since the next match is only a day away since Bobs been on his jollies.
Premier league - no change except the gap between the top three and bottom three has widened making it look like a three horse race for survival at the bottom remember two go down and no parachute payments.
Championship – no change in the top two with bob holding on to second despite losing the section. In third and just about to climb up Bobs rear we see Mr Gibbon is the big climber.
League 1 - no change where it matters
CCFIAB – sees Mr Davison drop from joint second otherwise no change. One point to note though is about Bobs imaginary friend S Sharpe. I say imaginary because we have yet to see him on the bank.
REMEMBER STILL 24 POINTS TO FISH FOR
see you at Woodlands
Neil
---------------------------------
Ok, now Joff has finally come to terms with the fact that he didn’t win and has shared the results with us I have updated the mini league.
Before we start I have decided to change the rules (because I can); to make things more interesting and to ensure things move around so everyone has something to fish for I have decided that it will be two up and two down. In addition to this my lifelong friend and fellow Handsworth chum Bob is going to look at a small cash incentive for the winner of each league.
Right down to the good stuff let’s look at the leagues
Premiership
Since I have now earned the right to call myself one of the big boys it’s nice to see myself second behind yesterday’s man and well on the way to securing life in the top flight. Towards the bottom of the league there is already talk of parachute payments from Les who is looking down rather than up, however both he and Mr. Beeken will be hot on the heels of Greg.
Championship
With Bob and Derek being runaway leaders you would have to put money on them having a crack at the big time next season with the others on level pegging staring relegation in the ring piece
League 1
Well Nicks well deserved win is putting him in top spot with a Holden vrs Redfern battle for second. Holding up the rear is Merv (you really don’t want to go down do you)
Can’t Catch Fish In A Bucket League
With every one trying to get out of this league messes Steeden, Emson and Davison (sound like solicitors) can’t be separated as they fight to gain some sort of angling respect.
