I thought I'd have a go at making some predictions this week:
Patriots 3-4 Hot Shots
The Patriots played poorly against us last week but should get back to winning ways soon - just not this week! The Shots to nick it!
Rack Pack 2-5 Red Deer Eagles
Can anyone stop the Eagles this season? Got a sneaky feeling that the Pack will get off to a great start, but then the class will shine through in the end!!
Propellor 3-4 Bloodhounds
There's a bit of confidence in our camp having won 4 on the bounce! Not bad for a team that looked like relegation certainties at Xmas!
This should be a closer game than the drubbing that we took earlier in the season (6-1). You never know we may even nick it.......?
SAS 1-6 Rileys Unpredictables
A win for the SAS would be perfect for us, but the Unpredictables are a far more superior team! I can't fathom why they're struggling this season. On paper they look very strong!! What's happened Knocky??
Cuemasters 3-4 Farley Eden
This is a tough one to call. The Eden are in great form at the moment, whilst the Cuemasters are in slight freefall. Can see this going to a decider.....Eden to nick it!!
I guess that leaves a bye for the Coney Cues! |

Patriots 2 Hot Shots 5
The Hotshots are going to want to start doing some catching up now, Patriots have the home advantage, but if they turn up with a full strength team I dont think home advantage will be enough for the Patriots
Rack Pack 2 Eagles 5
Eagles are playing well at the moment, so I reckon a 5-2 win over the Rack Pack is realistic
Propellor 4 Bloodhounds 3
Although the Bloodhounds have had some good results lately, I think that this match will go the other way, sorry Bloodhound! If the Bloodhounds play like they did against us in the first match, going for good finishes and getting them, my prediction will probably be wrong, I just think there is a bit more experience within the Prop if things get tactical
SAS 2 Rileys Unpredictables 5
SAS have not had a good season so far but they do have some good players who can take out quality finishes, I reckon they can nick a couple of frames
Cue Masters 2 Farley Eden 5
Eden to get back to winning ways in this match. Given the opportunity the Eden are taking out some top quality finishes and I would reckon on them getting the edge in tactical frames.
We have a bye, not sure what our result will be, 4-3 loss?

Patriots 2-5 Hot Shots
Hot Shots have to keep winning and hope for a slip up by the Ego's, after the drubbing last week hard to see the Patriots winning this one.
Rack Pack 3-4 Eagles
Last season you would have had this down as a banana skin match for the Eagles. I saw the Rack Pack throw away chance after chance the other week against the Prop with only 5 players. This contest may be closer than most of us think.
Propeller 4-3 Bloodhounds
Massive win last week for the Hounds, and with the added bonus of seeing what the Unpreds are up to on the other table at Suzy's, may inspire them to push the Prop to the wire.
S.A.S 3-4 Unpreds
Dare we think the Unpreds will suffer a defeat tonight and gift the SAS their first league win of the season? This is a MUST win for the Unpreds. Everyone knows the Unpreds have the players, so did the Cuemasters / Legion and they both lost in recent seasons the battle for Div 1 survival....
Cuemasters 3-4 Eden
Recent weeks have seen an Eden revival, some great results along the way and in defeat last week we overall played the better pool. Cuemasters have struggled for numbers last few weeks but if full strength tonight it will be close, always is.

Certainly the match of the night is Cuemasters vs. The Eden
Very close one to call.
Will totally depend on the Cue Masters personel though.
A full team, at home, and I make them favourites.
Will the Eden get lost in nostalgia going back to thier roots. . . .
The Patriots will give the Hot Shots a good game aswell.
At Suzy's, no less than 3 division 1 games.
The Bloodhounds have been in fantastic form of late, but the Prop away will prove a bridge too far. Coupled with the fact that the Unpredictables will pick at least 7 points up tonight (If not all 9) it means that the relegation fight will be tighter than Vanessa Feltz's knicker elastic.

Cuemasters v Eden. This will probably be the last ever match between old rivals, which is a great shame. Last week v Hot Shots was probably the flattest match in terms of atmosphere that I've played in. At about 8.40 there were two of us and three of them, they ended up with a full team but we could only muster 5. Our players can't wait for the season to finish. |

patriots 2-5 hotshots
rat pack 2-5 eagles
sas 2-5 unpredictables
prop 5-2 bloodhounds
cuemasters?-? eden
always a tight match against the eden boys more than likely always goes 4-3 one way or the other. will be a shame if its the last ever meeting but with new blood in the eden ranks maybe it wont be. |

Don't worry about the Eden. I hear that the Dukes have got ten players signed-up now !! Perhaps if Alex can overcome his recent shyness and start talking to people again,he might be able to con a few more suckers into joining their team !!   |

bromley cuemasters 4-3 farley eden
who would have gueseed a 4-3 betwenn the cuemasters and eden? nice to get a win and do the double over our old rivals, at 4-1 up we maybe should have done more but credit to them for the comeback. nice to have a full 7 players for a change as well, makes a difference,! hopefully the eden boys will carry on next winter as it would be a big loss to the division if this was the end, |

Pretty poor game, no one performed well but it's not easy to play on that table. |

Just had a look at the last 5 games for the title and relegation contenders. Relegation battle could be decided over the next 3 weeks and Rack Pack SURELY have to deliver two back to back wins over Unpreds and Hounds otherwise the drop looks reality. Bloodhounds & Unpreds have Eagles/Hot Shots still to play. Hounds finish with Eagles and then Hot Shots. Unpreds have the equivalent of 4 home games out of their last 5 matches. Hard to see based on the current standings and the matches left to play, the Eden or Coney being dragged back into the battle...
10 points adrift is massive amount to pull back for even the Hot Shots but they do have the slightly easier run in, though are still big second favourites. It's the Eagles to lose....
TITLE RACE:
=========
Eagles:
Coney (H)
Unpreds (A)
C/Masters (H)
Bloodhounds (A)
Patriots (A)
Hot Shots:
Prop (H)
SAS (A)
Rack Pack (H)
Unpreds (A)
Bloodhounds (H)
RELEGATION BATTLE:
===============
Bloodhounds:
SAS (H)
Rack Pack (A)
Unpreds (H)
Eagles (H)
Hot Shots (A)
Unpredictables:
Rack Pack (H)
Eagles (H)
Bloodhounds (A)
Hot Shots (H)
Eden (A)
Rack Pack:
Unpreds (A)
Bloodhounds (H)
Hot Shots (A)
Eden (H)
Bye (Bye!)

Well played to the cue-masters in a typical 4-3 encounter
Played on (As longshanks has said) a pony table but take nothing away from them as they potted the balls when the chances arose - us alas again did not - Another season of mid-table/nothing to play for 
Ah well at least we have a chance to progress in the Lge Cup on Monday - Bring it on....
Title - already done/dusted unless the Egos have a mass panic attack (No chance)
As for relegation - looks like 1 from Rack Pack/Hounds & Unpreds - i think it may be the rack pack unless they can start string some victories together,
I have to point out what a good season the Bloodhounds are having, regardless of what happens - They have come in & really done well in what is as always a very competetive league -
