Heroes and villains

Another week of fun and frolics is in the bag, and many of the results are in. Shock of the week trophy must go to Norreys Barn, who tore up the formbook with a stunning victory over erstwhile leaders the Elephant & Castle. Jaws dropped and bookies cheered as the previously-winless Norreys roared their way to a 2-1 decision over the Evil Empire, lifting themselves clear of the relegation zone and breaking one or two elephantine hearts in the process. Heroism abounded too at the Brewers, where the Pheasant suffered the ignominy of losing the second leg 5-4, and were twice denied a consolation leg by the last-stick valiance of a certain captain. After both the 3-stick and 1-stick playoffs failed to separate the teams, it was decided to let the beer leg decide it, and happily the Brewers prevailed by a single point, for probably the least-deserved 4 points in the history of the game. Meanwhile the Wanderers returned to form with a 3-0 bludgeoning of the Hope & Anchor and find themselves creeping up the table like some sort of endobiotic fungus, while the high-flying Queen's Head also suffered their first defeat of the season, a 2-1 reverse at the hands of the Bell & Bottle.

Here is the latest league table, although I am missing a couple of results due to teams failing to inform me. Enjoy!
