Congrats to BoozedUP on a worthy achievement.View attachment 2339682
And now for the Spoons, beginning with the Little'un.
There were three frees separating first place with four people in second leading up to the final round. Two of the chasing pack in cats_09 & Scythe got the required three frees, one in DemurePrincess had the bye so was stranded but there was one who picked up a handy five-fer to take a two kick lead - that being NaturalDisaster. All he needed was for the clubhouse leader to get two frees or fewer to become a Little Spoon winner.
NARRATOR: he did not in fact become a Little Spoon winner.
When the going got tough, the tough sucked up to the qumpires and Irish BlueBagger matched ND's Michelle to retain a three kick lead as the fat lady beatboxed.
Here's the final results:
Dragon spiritual leader T2B_ finished in 10th place on 47 frees, one behind Silver Whistle winner MWPP and Demon stalwart tgrs who finished equal 8th. Gold Citizen Cadsky was another kick ahead to finish in 7th place on 49 frees, one behind Bomber matriarch DemurePrincess who ended the season in 6th place.
Then there was a bit of a gap to the top five. cats_09 and Scythe both finished on 53 frees and joint fourth place, with oldmate finishing strongly thanks to another five frees to take third place on 54 kicks. Furies co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-captain NaturalDisaster finished up on 55 frees to be the Little Spoon bridesmaid, but your Little Spoon winner for season 39 on 58 frees for is the sun-kissed Dork for Cork. Congrats Irish BlueBagger on the win, here's your miniature novelty trophy!
And last but not least... well, a little bit least... is the Big Spoon. This was another one that could have gone a few ways, with a round 17 leader holding a small lead over a chasing pack but had a final round bye to contend with. The two people closest in Roonescape and WAbulldog however caught doughnuts, one also due to a bye and the other due to ineptitude.
Here's where the kicks landed:
There were six people that finished in equal 8th place, all conceding 23 frees for the season. They are boncer34 ClarkeM DERRINALPHIL HARPSichord Phar Ace and philreich. One kick ahead of them are dogs105 and jackster83 who finish in equal 6th place. The first of two Bombers in the top five, WAbulldog ended the season on 25 frees against, one behind a trio who share second place - ossie_21 Proper Gander and Roonescape.
But is was the rookie Bomber ruckdog in BoozedUP who takes out the Big Spoon for season 39 with 28 conceded free kicks. Kudos mate, here's your miniature novelty trophy!
Congrats to all the winners, and to those who bother the qumpires. I'll be back in the next day or two with the end of season summaries for each team, plus all the other palaver.
