Division B

markwatson360 (Visigoths) defeats nyczar (Franks) 57-27

Weekly round-up
Two wins for ruskicanuk (Ptolemaics) this week means that he needs just one more win from his remaining 2 matches to win Division A. Ludendorf (Seleucids) and shawkhan2 (Lysimachids) stand in his way. klayeckles (Persians) was beaten by ruskicanuk this week and now can finish no higher than third. Sennacherib (Indo-Greek) has withdrawn from the tournament and will definitely finish bottom. In Division B, an eighth consecutive win for dkalenda (Macedonians) has taken him to the brink of automatic promotion and only rbodleyscott (Lysimachids) can overtake him now. The outcome of their match together will surely decide things in this division. At the foot of the table, the result of the match between FlawlessCorn42 (Ptolemaics) and markwatson360 (Romans) could decide the relegation issue although rexhurley (Hannibal in Italy) still desperately needs points. There have been no results in Division C this week and in Division D there were 2 wins for Tresantes (Pyrrhic) to take him into a mid-table finish. Newcomer bcbarnesRR will finish with the wooden spoon this season.

Weekly round-up
2 more wins for pantherboy (Pictish) this week means he finishes as champion of Division A, but he was denied a clean sweep by ianiow (Byzantines) in his last match. ruskicanuk (Romano-British) looks favourite to finish second now. In Division B, wins for dkalenda (Sassanids) and paulmcneil (Gepids) see them close the gap a bit on unbeaten harveylh (Indians). markwatson360 (Scots-Irish) drew his last match but can still catch dkalenda if he wins his last 3 matches and dkalenda loses both of his. FlawlessCorn42 has withdrawn from the tournament and will finish bottom of the division. Division C is probably the most exciting in the whole tournament this season with 8 (!) players still in with a mathematical chance of finishing top. Late reserve Hendricus (Visigoths) registered 3 wins this week to move alongside FightingPoultry (Romano-British) and Ulysisgrunt (Indians) and they are all just one point behind youngr (Western Huns).

klayeckles has moved into a clear lead at the top of Division A this week against paulmcneil while second-placed Snugglebunnies had a mixed week with one win and one defeat.
