TUNNERS HIT THE TOP

The Matriarch of the Tunners became a 7 day member 5 weeks ago and they have not lost, now sitting at the pinnacle of the Premiership table, a spot they have never perched on before. ‘They need to keep winning’ is the words that reverberated around the Pro Shop Monday afternoon as it became clear that the expectations on this group were high. It was a smashing of the Wanderers, who sadly appear to have slipped back into those dark days of wooden spoon winning form from previous year’s, that allowed the Tunners to bypass the Tridents to the very top on percentage. It needs to be remembered that it is still May. The regular season is sure to throw a few twists the way of each team before the 8 is set for the July run to ultimate glory. The motivating words of the Tunners Matriarch will continue to sound loudly, she is demanding success and expects nothing less.
They meet the Cup Hunters in what is now one of the games of the round. Just as things have gone sour for the Wanderers, the Cup Hunters have found their voice. A Premiership Record Team high score of 193 have lifted this team to the verge of the 8 from the depths of despair just 5 weeks ago. They have 4 wins from 5 and are among the form teams in the Premiership. They have the ultimate test against the top of the table Tunners this Saturday however their confidence is high and the enthusiasm growing, the coldness of winter is holding less fears for the team then 1 month ago.
The Wanderers are wandering and after sitting pretty 5 weeks ago, suddenly find themselves out of the 8. They have dropped 4 of their last 5 games, 2 of them by the agonizing margin of 1 point and now face the daunting task of defeating the red hot Tridents team that are energized like never before. The Wanderers could well look at their opponents to help unlock the puzzle that represents this form slump. The Tridents are regularly playing every week and are showing great depth across the entire team. Their Superstar GEOFF BLACKMAN is relaxed, without the stress of having to perform each week, The Captains of now and past are gelling, playing well, the team is happy (as winning tends to promote) and the enthusiasm is infectious. They are scoring strongly week in week out, becoming a bookies nightmare as the flood of money is pouring in, backing the Tridents to go all the way.
Wally World and the Brothers in Arms matched up in a blockbuster that left the crowd a little bemused. It was an underwhelming game with a spread of even scores from the Wally Wold team getting them over the line with only KEITH DING producing a round worth reporting on from the Brothers in Arms. Wally World appears to be finals bound with some breathing space between them and the drop from the Final 8 however the Brothers are gone. You would need to have a Nobel Prize in mathematics to find a way for this team to be a finalist in 2010. It is an amazing fall from the top 4 positions they have enjoyed in previous seasons. They will be joining Triple WWW at the snow in July rather than feeling the heat of finals pressure. Triple WWW can teach them how to ski, they are regulars at the snow and will be there again without question this year.
The Buglers are now really struggling. The 2 time defending Premiers have slumped to 13th and there are real doubts on their chances to make the finals let alone mount a genuine defence of their title. They are devoid of the spirit that held them together over the past 2 years and without the sizzling form of ERIC LEHNER over the past month, they would be in even direr straights than they sit in now. The heartbeat of this team may be in Canada. They need the enthusiasm of TOMMY ROBSON back and rumour has it that he will be visiting in July. It may be too late. Can you imagine the devastation he will feel when he arrives and finds out that his beloved Buglers have already fired their last shots in 2010? It is looking very likely that he needs to change flights and get over here in June to watch his team in action or sadly he will miss out.
Last Saturday they were taken apart by a team that has had their spirit return. The Dynasty has entered the 8 and look intent on staying there. The Irish blood is running through the veins again, the international cheer squad is finding voice and the shares in Guinness Breweries are on the way up. The next 2 games are tests though against the top scoring All Night Chemists and 2010 improvers the Wood Ducks. If the Dynasty has visions of grander things in July, they will need to win these matches. You need to launch at the Premiership Cup from a top 4 spot otherwise the continued stress of knockout games will eventually wear you down.
Finally, Cyberspace has been heating up through the week as the impartiality of a certain writer was called into question. A suggestion that the Mighty Ferrets has an enthusiastic supporter is as absurd as the backswing of the accuser. The Mighty Ferrets do not need their tyres pumped up! They have paid their price and are leaving it to talent laden team efforts to thrust themselves back into the Premiership limelight; efforts that are working. They are intent on continuing to rise from the ashes and phoenix-like are moving up the ladder, obviously causing concern for certain sides above them. Teams like the Corruptibles, who would seem to be spending their spare time at the keyboard rather than the practice range. The delicate structure of their essays, which are sent around to such a small circulation, is to be admired however the adjectives used to describe their own golf would need to be heavily censored. No verbs needed in reporting the dissection of the octopus, a swing best referenced as possessing unusual freedom. Yes, running an eye over the entire Corruptibles team reveals there are many moving parts however there is nothing moving about their freedom fighter and pseudo captain’s depictions of weekly events in the Premiership. So maybe it is time for them to down the pen and pick up the game, after all, the Ferrets are coming and they are MIGHTY......
