Newport Astroturf™ League

So here we are, with more inevitability than England not winning the world cup and more expected than Maradona losing the plot, its our final week and this week possibly more than any other season there are so many issues yet to be decided.

For once the premier champions will be going to the final week of the season and its all in the hands of St Johns, the super j's have been at the top for large spells of this season and this week when they meet Rochester at 6pm on Sunday they know that either a win or a better result than AFC get against Royal Oak at the same time and they will be champions for the first time and will end the dominance shown by AFC for the past few years.

Exiles are already up in Div 1 and due to a massive goal difference they are probably champions, who will join them is a chase of 3 teams, CBC sit in the drivers seat knowing that a win against already relegated Allstars will see them immedeately return to the premier league whereas a draw will lead the winner of Mag 7 vs Hangover to take the 2nd place on goal difference.

The div 2 promotion race is already sorted with Dreamteam and Jacpot already up but the relagation battle has yet to be sorted, Valley Vikings are already down but Cricketers who currently posses the 2nd relegation spot will be hoping to beat Trojans and for Aardvark to lose along with an 8 goal shift towards the cricketers, not asking too much.

Then Div 3....after both of the promoted teams had a 3-0 walkover last week we are no closer to knowing who will take the title but on Sunday it'll be Eagles taking to the field first when they play Mayo at 3pm, a draw and then Strollers losing to Kebab at 8pm and Eagles are champs, a win for Eagles and Strollers will have to repricocate and beat Kebab to take the title.

Whatever happens, good luck to everyone and enjoy your weekend.
