With the BBQ weather down in your neck of the woods I'd have expected you to see everythingbutthegrill.

We're in some decent company down that end of the table this season though.

[Oxford NZ]

We have both goats and a good supply of BBQ's here and the weather is just heating up just in time for some slow cooked goat on the bbq
Yes the competition is tough in that lower part of the table and I hope I do not draw Blah in the next round

(Yes, it is very tough down here this year!)

GW11 Results are in and posted on the first page.

Match 1: Another win for ajcairns and with just 1 GW to go velcro is left with a bit of a mountain to climb trailing 1-11

Match 2: Small steps by Mo Bot after gaining another MP, but he now leads Fred1266 8-0

Match 3: This one looks like it's all over with a 14MP lead for Taff Murray. mad dog is going to have to get rabid to pull this one back.

Match 4: All still to play for in this see-sawing battle. Stena Bib currently holds the lead 7-6.

We had joint top scorers this week with Isalla hauling 90 points in Match 29 and thebillfella doing the same in Match 49.

Nobody is quite in the Pipe And Slippers Club yet, but a few are hammering on the door with Spencer4, Stemania, Calvin1979, sdhough, Joccki_10, DAREEL and Morrison Dullforce all practically home and dry.

Good luck in the final week of Round 3 everyone.

[Talkie Toaster]

The scores are for GW12, the final week of Round 3, are in and have been posted on the first page, and also a permanent copy posted below along with the Fixtures for Round 4.

In our top matches:

Match 1: ajcairns eases into a 14-1 (16-4) win over velcro.

Match 2: Fred avoids the whitewash picking up a MP on the last GW to limit the damage to a 14-6 win for Mo Bot.

Match 3: Taff Murray piles on the hurt on mad dog and makes it a 17 - 3 victory.

Match 4: nevblake turns it around in the last week and takes the tie 11-7 (12-8).

Match 40 was the only 20-0 scoreline with a great result for MorrisonDullforce.

Just the one tied match as well in Match 25 where Tall Paul and Wiseowl65 finished on 14Match Points each after TP had leapt out to a 14-0 lead in the first 2 weeks.

Top scorer for the week was primitive man with 76 down in Match 51 which helped him to a 17-3 win over Doogal.

Just above him TBF and Britinus had a high scoring week which resulted in a shift of just 1MP: 72-71 to Britinus.

Good luck in Round 4 everyone.

Fixtures for Round 4 are arranged according to Victory Points.

A couple of fixtures have had to be rearranged to avoid the same teams playing each other more than once:

Match 24: Dorset Hammer vs yorkshiredragon Match 24 Dorset Hammer vs ryan2032 & Match 25 yorkshiredragon vs The Catman.

Match 41: hiragii vs Hödi Match 41 hiragii vs S_sutton87 & Match 42 Hödi vs Hoos01.

As we have a large number of entrants I have included Match Numbers to hopefully make it a bit easier to find your results, when they are published, if your match is in the middle of the pack.

[Smurphy Paw]

Easy enough to find our fixture, blah
At least one of us will finish GW16 with a win!

[Talkie Toaster]

GW13 Scores and the first action of Round 4 are posted on the first page.

Match 1: Just the width of a playing card in it as Taff Murray leads taivt by a solitary point.

Match 2: Spencer4 is edging ajcairns by 3MPs

Match 3: Mo Bot is off to a flying start with a 7MP advantage over nevblake.

Match 4: Fuzzy and Hogmeister cant be separated after scoring 52 points each so it's still 0-0 on Match Points.

yorkshiredragon was the GWs top scorer with an excellent 68 and an 11MP headstart in Match 25.

[Talkie Toaster]

GW14 scores are posted on the first page and being a high scoring round for most, many of the matches have been shaken up a bit.

Match 1: taivt hits 104 and a large lead over Taff Murray 14-1.

Match 2: Spencer 4 turns a small advantage into a big one and now leads ajcairns 11-0

Match 3: nevblake almost takes it all back in one go and now trails Mo Bot by just 1 MP 7-6.

Match 4: The deadlock is well and truly broken following a 9MP swing for Hogmeister against Fuzzy.

Many teams are virtually in the Pipe and Slippers Club after just 2 GWs in Round 4, but I think that blah might be on the verge of a big comeback in Match 54. (SP's 15MPs is maybe the biggest swing we've seen in this game in a single GW though.)

7 Teams scored over 100 points this GW: taivt, Spinynorman, Stormrider, jamesozzie and 1albert. In Match 15 Isalla and baganboy scored 105 and 106 points each . BB's 106 was the top score for the week.

[Talkie Toaster]

GW15 scores are in and posted on the first page.

Match 1: It looks as though taivt has this match wrapped up with a 17-1 lead so it's damage limitation time for Taff Murray.

Match 2: ajcairns pulls back 7MPs to keep this match close going into the final week at 11-7.

Match 3: nevblake nudges into the lead with another 2MPs. It's now 8-7.

Match 4: Another MP for Hogmeister leaves Fuzzy with a bit of a mountain to climb and 10MP to make up.

Top scorer for the week is primitive man with 72 in Match 35 giving him 11MPs and virtual membership of the pipe and slippers club.

Others joining primitive man in and around the lounge are vekcro, Bølla Pinnsvin, coryphaeus, yorkshiredragon, no eye deer, Binod, tenpinterry, Smurphy's Paw, kingcurtley, Swagat 08 and snakzz.

needed a 9pt swing and think i managed it

The scores for GW16, the final week of Round 4, are posted on the first page and a permanent copy posted below along with the fixtures for Round 5.

Match 1: Taff Murray attempted an impressive comeback, but it was too much to do and he eventually lost 17-12 (13-7).

Match 2: Spencer4 snuffed out ajcairns' attempted comeback taking a comfortable 18-7 (15-5) win.

Match 3: After Mo Bot's good start back in GW13, it's been nevblake chipping away ever since and taking the tie 11-7 (12-8).

Match 4: Another comeback attmpt, this time by Fuzzy, but again it falls short and Hogmeister hangs on to win 10-6 (12-8).

We had a fair few 20-0 wins this time around: velcor in Match 5; snakzz in Match 8; Bølla Pinnsvin in Match 9;coryphaeus in Match 17 and Binod in Match 47.

Match 24 was the only tied match this Round. Dorset Hammer and ryan2032 kept it tight for the first 2 weeks then there were a couple of large swings in the last 2 and it finished 8-8.

Top scorer for the week was dino1980 who had a mountain to climb against wonkypenguin, but managed to pick up a score of 70 and an 12 point swing, just taking the tie 19-18.

Good luck in Round 5 everyone.

[Talkie Toaster]

Round 5 has opened with a pretty wild week and the scores are posted on the first page.

Match 1: It's pretty close on the top table with taivt taking the early lead over Spencer4 by 4 MPs.

Match 2: velcro jumps out to a 6MP lead over Bølla Pinnsvin.

Match 3: Neck and neck between snakzz and sdhough after each scored 58 points.

Match 4: A good start for Taff Murray with a healthy 8MP lead over nevblake.

Top scorer for the week was Dorset Hammer who took an 11MP lead over Binod in Match 23 afer scoring 92 points.

[Talkie Toaster]

GW18 scores are posted on the first page. Unsurprisingly in a BGW there aren't many big swings about.

Match 1: Another good week for taivt sees him extend his lead over Spencer4 by 5MPs and now leads 9-0.

Match 2: velcro also extends his lead by 5 making it 11-0 against Bølla Pinnsvin.

Match 3: Another tight week in Match 3. This time snakzz just edges it by 2MPs.

Match 4: nevblake keeps it close this week, but it still just goes to Taff Murray and he increases his lead to 10-0.

Top scorer for the week was coryphaeus with 65 points and a 6MP swing in Match 5.

[Talkie Toaster]

GW19 scores are posted on the first page. Being a DGW this was pretty much the exact opposite of GW18 with big swings aplenty.

Match 1: A massive 13 MPs for taivt effectively decides the match in his favour with a 22-0 lead.

Match 2: I'm pretty sure that Bølla Pinnsvin's score of 16MPs in a week is a new record for this game and puts him back in the match with a decent lead.

Match 3: This was a cagey match until snakzz hit 11MPs this week and now leads it 13-0.

Match 4: Another 13MP swing sees nevblake come back from a standing start and take a small lead 13-10 going into the final GW.

In match 46 goooner is entitled to feel somewhat aggrieved after scoring 120 points and then being on the wrong end of a 12MP swing as they were up against this GW's top scorer, DavidLloydIsAHero, who scored 154 points.

There are too many scores over 100 this week to mention and it's standing room only in the Pipe and Slippers Lounge as many matches are effectively over already.

Good luck to all those with something still to play for.

[Smurphy Paw]

Match 2: I'm pretty sure that Bølla Pinnsvin's score of 16MPs in a week is a new record for this game and puts him back in the match with a decent lead.

So my 15MPs record score didn’t even last a whole round!

The scores for GW20, the final week of Round 5, are posted on the first page and a permanent copy posted below along with the fixtures for Round 6.

Match 1: There's a bit of damage limitation from Spencer4 as he pulls back 7MP to limit the loss to 17-3.

Match 2: Bølla Pinnsvin pulls out another 4MPs and takes the tie 15-5 against velcro.

Match 3: This tie ends almost as tight as it stated with a solitary point going to snakzz to complete a 16-4 win.

Match 4: Taff Murray overcomes nevblake's DGW haul to retake the lead and the tie 15MP - 13MP and an 11-9 win.

Congratulations to taivt who remains op of the standings again.

Quite a few 20-0 wins again this Round, all in the bottom half of the standings: Stena Bib in Match 28; kingcurtley in Match 29; thelimey in Match 44; Hoos01 in Match 45 and Stevieste in Match 48; Doogal in Match 49 and FranckKessie in Match 53.

There were no tied matches this round.

So my 15MPs record score didn’t even last a whole round!

This game is getting tight!
