Weekly round-up
Triarii (Spanish) has replaced melm in Division A and he has started off quickly with a win. Not much else to report in Division A although desertedfox (Byzantine) posted his first win to give himself a chance of avoiding relegation. In Division B Cunningcairn (Frankish) has finished his matches with a narrow defeat to post a total of 28 points to beat. Schweetness101 (Andalusian) is clear favourite to do that just requiring 5 points from his remaining 3 matches. Just the relegation battle to decide in Division C where a win for blobka (Indian Rajput) in his penultimate match means remf220 (Norman) needs 9 points from his last 3 games to avoid the drop. Macedonczyk (Arab Conquest) posted a seventh straight win this week to move within one point of current leader baldrick52 (Viking Ireland) and he now needs just 1 point from his last 2 matches to win automatic promotion.

Weekly round-up
klayeckles (Kyrenean Greek) has moved into second place in Division A behind dkalenda (Assyrian) after defeating harveylh (Arab) and, at the bottom, desertedfox (Egyptian) picked up his first points with a draw against XLegione (Lydian). A very busy week in Division B which has left the battle for the automatic promotion place looking like it is between pompeytheflatulent (Median) and nyczar (Spartan), although batesmotel (Kyrenean Greek) has 2 wins from 3 starts and could make a late run. At the bottom MikeMarchant (Assyrian) picked up his first point in a narrow defeat but he probably needs a couple of wins from his last 3 games to avoid the drop. Another win for Hyde77 (Spartan) this week moves him closer to second-placed lunecastle (Babylonian). It looks likely that both these players will overtake the current leader in the clubhouse baldrick52 (Kyrenean Greek) who has finished with 24 points. At the bottom kerrak (Assyrian) and iandavidmith (Carthaginian) are still both without points are battling it out now to avoid the wooden spoon.
