It was another exciting week of Fantasy action made all the more significant with it being the First Round proper of the Cricket Giants Cup.
League action first and what an arrival to late comers the Jessey boys who in their first week in the league were top point scorers and co- Managers of the Week. Many congratulations lads.
At the top of the table there was very little change with just Des Wiltshire swapping places with Luke Heskett to move from third up to second.
Team of the Week - Jessey Boys 858 points just edging out Asad by a point
Top of the Table
Andy Yeats 4216
Des Wiltshire 3952
Luke Heskett 3851
Myles Baldock 3813
Nathan McCarthy 3672
Onto the Cup action and there was one major upset as 25th placed Ibtisam Baig beat 4th placed Myles in a tight contest separated by a mere 17 points. In the Yeats derby father smashed (lol) son - Ben shot himself in the foot by removing himself as his Fantasy captain and then proceeding to make another hundred with the bat. School boy error. Matt Fisk can consider himself unlucky to have amassed a weekly 748 points and still gone down to defeat to the in form Des who totalled 812.

For this those out the cup and towards the bottom of the league - do not despair plans are afoot to ensure we keep interest up with a second cup tournament with a different format and remember everyone has one wildcard where you can make unlimited changes in one week without penalty. Also every team has a captains wildcard to play once in the season giving you a triple points bonus for your skipper of choice.
New players are being added all the time. The Jessey family are all available for selection for example.
