WINDMILL WHACK UPDATE

Paul Middlemiss

Group stage nears conclusion with four games to play

There are just four games left to play in the Group Stages of this year's Windmill Whack, but there is much still to play for.

Wednesday night (22nd) will see the BrewDog Braves take on the Mullis & Peake Monarchs, and the Braves know a win would guarantee them a place at Finals Day and would also put them in pole position to top the group and go straight to the Grand Final. The Braves have been in good form so far under the leadership of Rob Mack and Alex Ward, with two wins from two, while the Monarchs have won one and lost one, narrowly losing out to the Govani Maestros last time out. The Monarchs know one win from their final two group games will likely put them through to Finals Day, so they will be hoping to pick up that win tomorrow.

After tomorrow night's action there is a two and half week wait until the final set of group games take place on Sunday 9th August. That day will begin with the Govani Maestros taking on the Griffin Grandmasters, and the Maestros know a win will secure their place at Finals Day as they have won two out of two to this point. The Grandmasters know they will likely need a win to have a chance of making it out of the group stage as they have one win from three games so far under the captaincy of James Burchell and Max Carter-Miller. Game two on the 9th will see the Maestros in action again as they take on the Braves, and at this stage it looks like that contest could decide who goes straight through to the Grand Final. The final group game will then see the Kushoom Bugh Tigers taking on the Monarchs. The Tigers have lost their first three games and currently sit bottom of the table, but depending on the results of other games it could be that they still have an outside chance of making Finals Day by the time this game begins.
