Galacticos Shine

The top of the table clash between the G31 Galacticos and the Cape Crusaders did not disappoint this week. Colin Moffat's men edged the win 61-60 to keep their 100% record. The only other team to match them is young Lachlan Eggo who also boasts three wins out of three with Oisin's Eleven.

Rapid risers Dynamo Kev saw off a struggling Gianfranco Gorgonzola thanks to Ashley Young's star performance in helping to dump Liverpool. Elsewhere the Colthart family (Colin and Ethan) dumped the Rinaldis (Carlo and Stefano) to boost themselves up the table.

Serafino Ingardia's luck ran out as a meagre 31 points saw him slump to defeat against Alex Robertson who recorded his first win. Nonetheless, Siciliana stay in a group of teams on six points which also includes Kenny Eggo's Galliano Hotshots, Doug Archibald's Rockstars Fragmented, and Steve Wilson's Biancoverdi.

Elsewhere, Willie Johnston returned from pre-season training in Tuscany to scrap out the first draw of the season with last year's champions Team Ramrod. While Iain Pollock's Lockerbie Legends - a bit like his heroes Liverpool - remain stuck on three points.

Rooted to the bottom at present is our Australian challenger, Pat Cook, who is in danger of emulating his nation's Ashes performances. Alongside him is recent-dad Stefano Rinaldi - are the late-night feeds taking their toll? And shouldn't those late-night feeds involve his son, not just himself?

In Serie B the bold Mike Maliskas has toppled David Wynn for the time being. There were other strong performances from DG Standard's finest Kieran Westbrook who looks threatening in third and Graeme "I'm paying attention this year" Nicol who would have done better but for a late goal conceded by Brad Friedel.

A poor week from Raith Rovers 18th most famous fan Midge Mowbray allowed Steve Fitzpatrick, Rossella Marrai and Falkirk's 12th most famous fan Stef Todd to close the gap on him in 4th. While Elia Davidson closed in on Siofra Eggo in the young female manager of the year category.

Peter Bourne continues to struggle ahead of our American bosses who are still getting to grips with the game. Bill Isley, Stephen Heath and Frank Bentz have a lot to learn. Will they manage it before the season ends?
