Well last week and in our league all to play for prediction wise. I have updated the league scores with the result yesterday so our league looks like this and after leading for most of the season Thatbloke has fallen into 3rd place so it's now Bin Lickers to lose. I see the North Premier prediction league has gone this season. I wonder if there'll be anyone to pick up the new leagues next season?

Bin Licker.                 158

Friendly prop.            154

Thatbloke.                 153

Running man.           150

Stinger                      147

One for the ditch.     126

Rich Mids                   85

This weeks fixtures are. 
Nuneaton v Newport (Salop)
Paviors v Doncaster Phoenix
Sandbach v Burton
Sunny Scunny v Bromsgrove
Sheffield v Broadstreet
Syston v Bridgnorth
Oundle v Dudley Kingswinford

Thanks for reminding me FP - plucked defeat from the Jaws of victory so I'll probably have to risk dropping out of the medal positions altogether and go for some weird predictions in this last week and hope for a miracle!

Right - desperation time!
Nuneaton v Newport AWAY I'm not desperate enough to vote against my own team😂😂
Paviors v Doncaster Phoenix AWAY Good win for Pavs against Scunny in the cup last week but I'll go for Donny - simply because I have to!
Sandbach v Burton AWAY This should be a cracker and I'll plump for the Staffordshire lads
Scunny v Bromsgrove AWAY Doubtful given Grove's away record but I'll give it a punt
Sheffield v Broadstreet HOME Sheff promotion party in a pointsfest
Syston v Bridgnorth HOME Syston to win the battle for 3rd - again another pointsfest in the making
Oundle v DK AWAY Oundle not offered much all season apart from lots of promise and a few near misses

Hey Richmids, Nuns to lose to the champs?? Thats why I haven't done predictions for a while - couldn't back against the Nuns. Elmo to score a few and the Nuns to WIN.

I too am very capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I am sticking with my tactic of generally going home unless promotion teams are involved. Without relegation many games become meaningless and home advantage seems to prevail.

Nuneaton v Newport (Salop) AW Home and dry and cannot see Port slipping up
Paviors v Doncaster Phoenix HW
Sandbach v Burton HW always a boisterous home crowd at Bach
Sunny Scunny v Bromsgrove HW Long trip for Grove with nothing to play for bound to be missing/trying new players
Sheffield v Broadstreet HW As above
Syston v Bridgnorth HW As above
Oundle v Dudley Kingswinford AW Going away as Oundle seem to be so off the pace now. That really is the kiss of death!

Sheffield v Broadstreet HW Sheffield to cement their 2nd place.

Section19 I know what you mean it did not feel right going against the Nuns. On a stag in Manchester this weekend so kept checking for the results. Looks like put up a good fight as was not sure if Newport would take it easy as won the league or finish with a bang.

Mixed bag this season after a slow start, luckily no relegation but hope next season we are more midtable.

They think it's all over, well it is now. The final week of the Midlands Premier league as we know it.
Star performers this week were OFTD who was the only person to predict the Oundle win Clap, Running man, Rich Mids & That bloke, Clap Clap Clap. Bringing up the rear, Stinger Ouch. Our final league positions are 

Bin Licker.                 163

Thatbloke.                159

Friendly prop.            159

Running man.           156

Stinger                      150

One for the ditch.     132

Rich Mids                   91

That is it for this league it's been a tough league this season, Well done to Newport, the Salopians have been worth their champions role and Sheffield will go up with them. It'll be interesting to see where the remainder of us finish up in the new leagues. I will be sorry to not be travelling to some of the grounds where we have been and meeting what I would now describe as good friends in rugby. It may be that our paths will cross again as does happen in these circles. We may go from being the most northern club in the Midlands to the most southern club in the North east LOL. We will keep some of our NLD teams but gain new teams from the North and start back up rivalries from the days before leagues (for those of us who remember them Wink). There will be some happy with their lot and others less so. Goodbye to those I've met in the prediction league and I'm sorry not to have partaken of a beer with those who I've not. Good luck to you all.

Good Luck to you my friend. Its been a crazy season for the Nuns, all those away games at the start of the season meant our season never got off the ground.Ouch Keep watering the pitch and who knows we may meet up again sooner than you think.Clap

Congratulations Bin Licker although I wouldn't be keeping your eyes peeled expecting the postman to arrive with a big box!? 😂
Many thanks FP for doing all the admin on this and being gracious enough to place me 2nd above your good self. Is it because I predicted more wins, or got more draws or did it come down to points difference? We will miss everyone in Mids Prem but particularly the clubs that we share a special relationship with and that obviously includes Scunny where FP and his cronies always provide wonderful welcomes and hospitality. Thank you from everyone at Newport.
That said times move on, rugby moves on (even though it might seem to be going backwards at times) and we are looking forward to the challenges ahead. I honestly think we'll do alright, it would appear to be a good time to go up with a perceived dilution in standards caused by the re-org.
Good luck everyone - hope you find yourselves where you want to be and maybe we'll meet again following the next restructure (which I predict will come about in 3 years time when Nat1 and Nat2 sides will want their 2nds (if they run them?) entered into the ECC having become totally disenchanted with pampering to the Premiership clubs with loans and Dr's and all that mularky that makes a mockery of the whole league system

Well unfortunately since you haven't had the gonads to identify yourself it will be difficult to share the prize with you as I did with That bloke this season. Also it's highly unlikely our paths will cross with us heading north unless you're from Pavs, DP, Derby or WB.

Nuns trailed 21-25 with 15 minutes to go and put in a fair performance. Don't know how strong Newport were, but they outlasted the Nuns.
