Yes i think its wrapped up alright! Great win...Looks like next season will be a bit tough for you though!

How does a team posses such skill to ward off any threat to their position? mmmmmmmmm..the mind boggles!

Precisely.

Skinks would obviously need to have lost another game and possibly a third for the 49ers to move to #1. As it was, I decided it was more important to give some kids an opportunity. My loss was a confidence boost for Kami (albeit a soft win); whereas your loss should be a concern to Skinks regardless given was playing with a full strength side.

I put that loss in the 'what can you do?' basket. There were no real surprises on offence or defence, the game looked much the same as most other games played this season but it was a loss instead of a win. 9 weeks out of 10 that's a 2 or 3 touchdown win, this week it wasn't.
