AVSL Round 9 Wrap 2024-25
The weather at Doncaster was in the high 30s for most of the day. We ended the round in 7th place with a creditable score of 30 329 points.
This round’s Premier Division ladder was DIV, GHY, EAG, ESS, BOH, WEN, WES, MEN, SBE and CHI.
The seasonal ladder is: EAG 88, DIV 84, ESS 57, GHY 54, WEN 51, WES 45, SBE 41, BOH 36, MEN 35 and CHI 18. Only ESS is left to play their Power Play. Our last round is next week and BOH and MEN will be fighting to avoid relegation and EAG will come out strong in a bid to take out the premiership.
