\"Neville<\/p>\n

There were winners and losers aplenty on Saturday as the Neville Richards Premier League home-and-away season wound up.<\/p>\n

Needing a win to secure a finals berth, the Chris Dodds-inspired Tornadoes put in a great team effort to advance, ending a wretched few weeks for the hapless Hookers, the winner of the \u201cweak as water\u201d prize for the umpteenth time.<\/p>\n

The Bulllies needed to upset the ladder-topping Peakers and have a couple of miracles occur, but appeared to have their hopes alive when Angela \u201cChoco\u201d Royal peeled off a Travis Mathew-winning score of 40 wonderfully crafted points.<\/p>\n

But while Dale \u201cFlea\u201d Pollock had the team\u2019s best score, the hero of the day for the Peakers was last man out Cam \u201cRim\u201d O\u2019Keefe who needed a birdie on the ninth \u2013 his final hole \u2013 and knocked in a putt to achieve that feat.<\/p>\n

It was a tough pill to swallow for the now past champs whose score was the day\u2019s second best, but one solitary point shy of the Peakers who secured the minor premiership alongside the Callaway prize for the day\u2019s best score.<\/p>\n

The Pirates finally showed some collective ticker with Richie \u201cThurston\u201d Howells, the \u201cTickle-less\u201d Justin McGrath and Dennis \u201cColling\u201d Wood the mainstays of an upset that threatened to derail the Warriors\u2019 finals aspirations.<\/p>\n

With Joel \u201cMilkman\u201d Launer not living up the pre-round hype, the Warriors (245) also went down to the Crusaders (251) in a tight Survivor competition finale.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all bad news for the girls and boys in green, who limped into the finals when those same Crusaders were no match for the Goblins, who seized the double chance despite the no-show of Toby \u201cRadox\u201d Prime and a self-submitted image for this week\u2019s video that you\u2019ll have to see to believe.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it\u2019s on to the finals.<\/p>\n

The qualifying final \u2013 with the winner to advance straight to the grand final \u2013 will feature the Peakers and Goblins.<\/p>\n

And the elimination final \u2013 with loser out and winner to play the qualifying final loser in the preliminary final \u2013 will be fought out between the Tornadoes and Warriors.<\/p>\n

Congrats to the Crusaders on their Survivor victory \u2013 remarkable for a team outside the finals \u2013 and good luck to all finals combatants.<\/p>\n
