'Chiefs Spring Surprise'

The Waikato Chiefs have beaten their more fancied opponents the Taranaki Ferdies in a gripping final that swung several ways over the concluding stages.

The Ferdies have earned the right to be known as the most consistent team in the Super comps, they have held the nucleus of their side together PJ, Heather, Maurice and Bryan for what seems an eternity and with the addition of Stags superstar Nekky they have formed a formidable outfit.

Winning the Minor Premiership seems second nature to the Formidable Ferdies, however it's the biggest stage which seems to be the Achilles heel for the Ferdies, falling at the last hurdle.

When glancing over the team line ups at the start of each comp and picking the final 5 semi final teams the Ferdies always figure highly, look forward to catching up with the ferdies again in the Summer months where maybe they can seek revenge on the Waikato Wonders

Thanks to my team-mates

Jack- A Waikato stalwart the heart and soul behind the Waikato team a team-mate who can always be relied on in the big occasions and it was fitting Jack finished finals day on top, a consistently good scorer Jack is one of the unsung hero's of the Waikato side

Casper he calls himself the Ghost with the most and the most is what he ended up with heading the Magnificent 7 leader-board Casper needed to produce against the gallant Pegs Pride on Grand Final Day and produce he did.

Sylvia- Sylvia ended up the Chiefs Hero the Naki Brigade were in full voice heading into the last and they needed to be silenced, and a wonderful rendition of Silent Night ended the Ferdies charge as the well backed Silent Sedition saluted to all in the Waikato

Catalano his consistent performances held the Chiefs in good stead over the earlier rounds and deep into the finals was somewhat unlucky yesterday as some of his super subs saluted

Captain- his big call was on playing the Joker and this enabled the Chiefs to chase Group 1 glory

thanks everyone for a most enjoyable Spring Comp see you all in the Summer

And that's all they wrote folks!!!!!!!

.....Five of the Magnificent 7 made a profit which is an amazing result after being asked to select in 155 races (across two countries) not of their choosing, and still come out on top. Look out Mike Dillon !

Huge congrats to Casper for an astonishing tipping effort to win by such a large margin. No.1 pick for any Draft Comp in future, no doubt.

Thanks for the wrap Peter

I don't see myself as the #1 draft selection

More than likely not to figure on the magnificent 7 table next comp

I have seen many fine tipsters on here all capable on their day of beating anyone, and whoever gets on a roll is going to figure high on the Magnificent 7 board.

Looking forward to the next comp already, you don't need money to have a fun and enjoyable comp, the dignity and professionalism you show to all  makes these comps a pleasure to be part off.

cheers
