At the top of the table St Caths edged past the Brains after a pretty even (and low-scoring) first half. This result leaves St Caths at the top one point ahead of the Braggarts, though the Braggarts have a game in hand.
The Braggarts got back to winning form this week with a comfortable victory against the mercurial Opsimaths down at the Griffin.
A more dramatic result took place in Chorlton with SWMCC trouncing the Historymen in the battle of the newcomers. With a 'sit out' week still to come this seriously dents the Historymen's chances of the league title.
The form team of the moment, Snoopy's, won away at the Red against the Pigs. Snoopy's have a game in hand on St Caths and the Historymen and could yet provide the strongest challenge to the Braggarts in the run in. Significantly they play the Braggarts in their final game of the season - this could be one for the fainthearted to avoid.
In the other result of the week Albert Park won a close match against TUFKAC at the Albert Club.
The paper this week was set by the Albert. General reaction was an interesting but pretty difficult first half with much easier questions in the second half. Overall the aggregate scores were around the 70 mark which is a good indicator of a reasonable paper. Most comment seemed to surround the pair of questions about George Dubya's coalition (Round 3 Questions 5 & 6). Much mirth at the Griffin as we pondered whether enrolling governments had a box to tick on their Coalition application forms stating whether they wanted to avoid publicity in the event of a victory - or, indeed, whether they had to indicate if they wished to be circulated about similar campaigns which they may wish to consider as and when they became available. Dave at St Caths commented "If 15 of the members of George Dubya's coalition are anonymous, how do we know they are in it?".
My question of the week - for those of you who can remember Muffin the Mule - is Round 8 Question 4:
Who had a daily help called Mrs Scrubbit?

And finally some cheering news....
Picking up the paper at the Red who should I bump into but Gerry Hennessy back in circulation and able to down a pint of Guinness. He was in good spirits and sends his regards. Let's hope we see him at the end of season do at the Albert Club (if not earlier).
