Virginia in a good position to knock off Dublin, but outright would be near on impossible barring a friendly declaration which would be dumb from Dublin.
Semi Final's looks like SW v Dublin and EP v AV.
Grade 2: NEK in a good position over Craigmore, and with Smithfield looking like getting done, the Knights probably steal back second place! Parafield Gardens would need an outright to bump Eyre from the 4 should they lose, don't think they've got it in them.
Semi Final's look like Craigmore v Eyre and NEK v Smithfield.
Grade 3: ATCO early finish to the minor round, rolling Dublin for 35 and passing, calling game off and having a week off with top spot sewn up. Enfield have 2nd spot locked away, OTH are dead and Eyre Royals are hunting 3rd place. Should win outright and go past Two Wells.
Semi Final's look like ATCO v Two Wells and Enfield v Eyre
Grade 4: Westies a mile clear, Eastern Park well ahead of Angle Vale in 2nd who are outright 3rd. Interesting fight for 4th though - NEK, Craigmore and Enfield - Craigmore look to be slight favorites at the moment needing another 11 to pass NEK and Enfield chasing 242 against Westies.

Don't dismiss this too quickly, Smithfield have a few out.

Would need a lot to go right, but i guess if they rolled Smithfield for say 100, 46 run lead and did it within the 1st 10 overs.. they could bat for 15-20 overs and try to score a run a ball - get around 150 lead. Give Smithfield best part of 40 overs to chase 150 is achievable, maybe enough carrot dangled to entice them to have a crack.
Interesting times.

Smithfield don't need a carrot to want to go the tonk.

Smithfield trying to get their b’s into the finals and lost...... NEK need to bowl well to beat Craigmore but 200 out there is a good score!

I heard this last week, but i'm not convinced - they play Parafield this week, win that, they're in. ATCO was always going to be a tough game.
If they were loading up to win, surely they could've started by batting Lord higher than 8.
Nice to see Jaz score more than half the side though haha!
Gardens beat them last time, I'd like to think that the 4 players were busy this Saturday, it's a pointless mission otherwise.
One, they're sacrificing a home final in the A's, two, I don't see the point in propping sides up to make finals when they will only be undermanned again when it matters.

If my maths is correct, Salisbury West +125 runs is the magic number to hold top spot assuming SW send CU straight in to get the outright and EP roll through AV and win the 1st innings.
If SW bat on whats a safe score to get to and ensure they can still get CU out in time?
How fast could EP get AV out and what target could they chase to take top spot back?
AV will finish 3rd. Dublin 4th no matter what. Not enough points available unless something stupid happens.
Very interesting scenario for the minor premiership.
Interesting semi finals, seems the 6x team divisions has provided some initial success for battlers.
NEK, Smithfield, ATCO, Enfield, Salisbury West B, North Pines, Salisbury West C all finished bottom part of their respective ladders last season, now competing in the major round.

I did hear this, terrible news and crap way to finish the season.
Also hearing Greg Blewett has covid and he was at ATCO Saturday night, so potential they may be impacted.
Really thought by now we would've been over the whole covid thing.
Might have been a good move to split up the A graders for the last 2 weeks to save the whole team being out with covid...I did hear that atleast 1 has confirmed covid positive on their facey account!

Think it was something to do with a club function.
