Forget the Guinness Premiership, at last the table you've all been waiting for is published. Many apologies for delay, circumstances beyond my control you understand .. Wasn't that European Challenge Cup final entertaining? (Seamless change of subject to avoid answering awkward questions).

Before I announce the result, a quick look at some of the stats.

  Firstly let us look at the top performing players from each team in our pool:

 Backs

1. Shane Drahm ( Worcester ) 14.5FP, 0.2T, 1.3C, 2.6P, 0.2D, 290TP

2. Jason Strange ( Bristol ) 14.4FP, 0T, 1C, 3P, 0D, 316TP

3. Bruce Reihana ( Northampton ) 13.5FP, 0.2T, 1.5C, 1.9P, 0D, 284TP

4. Olly Barkley ( Bath ) 13.5FP, 0T, 0.9C, 2.8P, 0D, 162TP

5. Ludovic Mercier ( Gloucester ) 12.9FP, 0.1T, 1.1C, 2.2P, 0.1D, 284TP  

Forwards

1. James Hudson ( Bath ) 4.7FP, 0.3T, 33TP

2. James Forrester ( Gloucester ) 4.3FP, 0.2T, 68TP

3. Dan Browne ( Northampton ) 4.1FP, 0.1T, 70TP

4. Tony Windo ( Worcester ) 4.1FP, 0.1T, 86TP

5. Mark Regan ( Bristol ) 3.7FP, 0.1T, 67TP

FP = Fantasy Points per appearance

T  = Tries per appearance

C  = Conversions per appearance

P  = Penalties per appearance

D  = Drop Goals per appearance

TP = Total Fantasy Points scored for the season

And next those with a less than sporting attitude:

Worst Discipline Record

1. Andrew Higgins ( Bath ) 1Red, 1Yellow

2. Terry Sigley ( Gloucester ) 1Red, 0Yellow

3. Thinus Delport ( Worcester ) 1Red, 0Yellow

4. Kai Horstmann ( Worcester ) 1Red, 0Yellow

5. Sam Cox ( Bristol ) 0Red, 3Yellow

6. Peter Buxton ( Gloucester ) 0Red, 3Yellow

7. Zak Fea'unati ( Bath ) 0Red, 3Yellow

Huddo and Higgins eh?  Hmm …

All that leaves me to do is congratulate the winner Bath_mp , making it an unprecedented 2 in a row.  Not sure what this means for the prize, perhaps he'd like to award it to the runner up.  Congratulations also go to those Bristol supporters who took part and took an early grip on the Allegiance mini-league, never to let go.  Well done.

Next year will see an improved fantasy league, where not only who you choose counts but where you play them, plus a few other rules to make life interesting.  See you all next season.  I thank you.
