The headlines are:

A much better week than of late with scoring into the double figures.

A pair of Full Houses: a scoring one for Magwitch and a non-scoring one for Psycorp

Both riotact and Psycorp attack on upwards in their own way, coming as they did, second and first respectively. Well done chaps

No me[Andy]g, this was not the weekend to go againts the grain as your all will attest. (As for you B, well your 'Big Mac no fries' is more a case of normal service being resumed )

The race at the top has definitely tightened up a bit as Orcus stumbled.

There is a densely packed mid-table, who knows how this will resolve itself in the weeks to come

That'll do nicely. Thought I'd have my work cut out catching B, but it seems that my concerns were misplaced.
