Nine games in, and we are still looking good for promotion into the second phase of league play. We have slipped into 5th place, and our 17 points (5/2/2, +3) puts us 3 points ahead of the 8th and final promotion spot. Our two losses so far have come on long pitches and I hope this isn't our undoing.
