the plot thickens - update (sn.25(9)/rd.13)

Series: III.9

 Team                      Played  Goals  Points
1.  Lord Ofir              13  54-23  31
2.  haifa boom             13  18-14  20

3.  hapoel kolbo-shalom    13  34-31  18

4.  Atlantque              13  28-30  17
5.  F.C Hnana              13  19-28  17
6.  IsraeliskullS          13  27-37  17
7.  Dodos                  13  27-31  16
8.  beni herzelia          13  18-31  13

this is our league table, with one more round to be played. we play beni herzelia, who managed to squeeze away a point at our shalom meir stadium on round 1.
the three teams who threaten our precious spot above the "pink line" (that seperates 4th place from 5th) are atlantque (will play against dodos), hnana and skulls (will play each other). i am 1 point ahead of these three teams.
this means hpoel kolbo-shalom will not finish 7/8th, but might well finish in 6th place.
we need to win!
(then again, a qualification is not that bad - extra training etc - as long as you win)

update (sn.25(9)/rd.10)

after playing 10 games this season, hapoel kolbo-shalom stands at second place, 4 points behind lord ofir. we're also 8 points away from the red line, with 12 more points to compete for. theoreticaly, enything can happen.
in relity though (HT reality, of course), we probably won't take first place. it's more likely that in four weeks we'll find ourselves in a qualification match (fighting demotion, of course) than in first place.
our next match is against series leader lord ofir. we managed to squeeze a point in the away game, but this week we expect nothing more than a nice income ;) . points would be nice, but they'll be coming as a surprize (meaning the probably won't come at all) :( .
