Finals

#2 Straight Shots vs #4 Magic Pool
Regular Season Meetings: Week 2 - 5-0 MP & Week 9 3-2 SS

Straight Shots were able to defeat a solid EPC squad this past week because their players rose to the occasion. Magic Pool were able to defeat the top team all season long in nine games (Freedoms final 2 players apparently had to rush to leave), but with all that aside we see a finals match up no one would have predicted.

Nigel & company will be coming into the match as the streaking favourites, with players like Nick, Shannon, Nish, Jay & Sail leading the way. Nigel has been able to depend upon those 5 the most all season and they'll need to continue the streak this weekend to give SS GIT's first championship.

Chris & company on paper are the favourites, and after last week's performance they should be the favourites, but after a slump at the end of the season dropped them to 4th, Chris will be behind the 8 ball with his match ups. If Chris is smart and doesn't pull a Dina, Chris will be able to count on Jordy for two break n runs, with himself, Anil, Andy & yes, even Joe to try and pick up a few wins. Captaining an away team in such a vital game is always tough, but if Chris can pick up on any of Nigels tendencies (like this little cowboy) then Magic Pool should be able to win the second straight interleague title to start off 2010.

Prediction - 5-3 MP
