Braveheart Anderson Again

Yeah yeah...we're in it at last.3-1 against NYJC and now it's possible that we can get through an improbable 2nd place and a face-off with VJC...provided these conditions are met

AJC

Next matches:TP,HC,R,T
lost 2 and drew 1 before the win.pivotal games will be against TP and RJ in a stretch of 4.needs a miracle to get through but given this group has been quite evenly drawn,expect a surprise or 2.In fact the mission is a simple one:win all their remaining games and score as many as possible because they might boil down to goal difference


MJC

Next matches:NY,T,R,TP,AC
Having a game on hand against ACJC,they had been quite hot after losing against SA.6 out of 3 games with 1 game in hand they are faves to avoid VJ in the semis.pitch them to edge past Raffles in a stern test.In fact they are tipped widely to win everything,barring a catastrophic loss of plot.predictably they are first


SAJC

Next matches:NY,R,TP,HC
stuttered after their magnificent win against MJ with draws against AJ and AC before coming back against TJ.should they draw a match or two they might as well just pass up their chance for the final.RJ might squeeze a point out of them and they're the team to beat at the moment if anyone wants to re-ignite their title hopes.1 loss out of 4 games might not harm them,but any draws in that streak may be trouble.TP is now widely to be given an assasin role this time round.should there be a draw too many,they might actually face elimination(even 2D2W may actually be fatal if anyone with 16 can conjure a better goal difference,if not a face2face record)


RJC

Next matches:AC,SA,AJ(!),MJ,TJ
sizzling hot with 3 out of 3 wins(HC,NY,TP) but their stern test is up against SA and MJ.dropping any game will mean they're gone case,as well as AJ.draws against both of them might as well mean they are in some kind of trouble.If AC can sneak a draw,they are staring straight at elimination


ACJC

Next matches:R,T,TP,HC,NY,MJ
another outsider with a chance.next match pits them with their eternal rivals.they cannot draw too many matches as they are now outsiders.even with 6 matches to go,since 3 points out of 18 are gone,any draw will render them in trouble.they might actually spring a surprise or two,so watch this space


TPJC

Next matches:AJ(!),AC,SA,MJ,NY
Like RJ they have not seen the big guns yet.they are forced to get maximum points for their last 3 fixtures or they are gone case.this is especially true given SA and MJ are predicted to win them.losing against RJ means they are in a delicate situation
