I fear that the crop of promoting d3 team will be better than ever next season. When I think my d2 is already crowded with competitive teams, I'm gonna have a hard time!

The Hippos extend the gap at the top with a big win over my lads. with 6 games to go, they would have to begin to feel confident that if they beat the devastating Vis Maior they can earn a free promotion.

Meanwhile in 3rd the Maggots have been slowly pegging back the Vikings. Only 17 points adrift after tonight's games. Not much change at the bottom with all the 15-1 teams putting very little pressure on Vis Maior.

Don't know if I've already said this but good to see the Maggots on 16-0 after tanking for what has seemed like a lifetime.

hallelujah!!

the sharks are very happy that he has finally decided to play some decent BB

As long as he stays out of the South next season... ;-)

It might be a toss up between Maggots & Akuma, with both teams likely to go up to Div II.

I will just be happy not getting brutalised every week

You're doing a bit of rebuilding though aren't you, bainsy?

yeh, but next season we are bringing pain.

i dont even care who comes down from div II... we will show no quarter!!

Me too! The Magick's tankign days are over, however, I'm going to build next season carefully...adding a new piece to the puzzle soon..

good to hear

How about we have a look at some of the more important games coming up on Tuesday night for the promotion hopeful's.

Puffy_jnch (11-5) vs. TeamAkuma (16-0)

The only other time these sides have met was round 2 of the season, when Akuma cleanly dispatched the newly promoted Puffy. As is expected when a first time promotee faces a seasoned division III veteran.

In their first meeting Akuma's Mark Booth led his team to an easy win with 25 points in 28 minutes. However in a down season for Booth where he is only averaging 13.8 PPG, it is unlikely he will be as much a factor as he was in the early season game.

There is no doubt that Clinton Abimbola will be there to pick up the slack for Akuma, despite a quiet outing last time against Puffy with only 13 points. However it has been an outstanding season for the homegrown superstar who has averaged 29.2 PPG in his last 5 league games.

Puffy on the other hand could be looking towards Spanish guard Jorge Torras. Torras has struggled to work his way into the Puffy side this season, having start only 5 games this season. Looking pass that Torras has been big for his team in the last 5 games averaging 20.6 PPG.

Puffy's side has improved greatly over the last 8 weeks or so, but it is too hard to go past Akuma for this game.

My Prediction: Team Akuma by 22
