It’s nearing crunch time in this year’s League campaign and things are coming nicely to the boil in the prediction mini-league as well.

Following last weekend’s series of games we have a new leader in the mini-league. The young buck had a bit of a mare in his predictions for last weekend – I completely forgot to do mine and the default number of points I was awarded was higher than what he got – and so he slips from top spot to third. My senior moment only cost me a few places in the table, I’m down from 32nd to 37th, but that’s all academic in the overall scheme of things.

Liam Murphy – who was second in the table going into the weekend – now heads into the second-last full week of matches with a 33-point cushion at the top. As last weekend’s results proved, though, things can change rapidly from week to week so it’s all to play for yet.

Here’s the latest leaderboard for the mini-league:
