SAIF ZONE SOCIETY LEAGUE GOES TO THE WIRE
The penultimate round of fixtures in the SAIF – Zone Golf Society Leagues Worldwide Golf and SNTTA Leagues once again proved exciting affairs as, poised going into the final round of league matches (scheduled for February 18th), 8 from the 12 participating societies can still progress to the quarterfinal knock out phases which start in March..
Although Dubai ExPutts 1 seem in control of the SNTTA league on 19 points they play 4th placed EPC Hole Diggers, who, if achieving a 6 – 0 whitewash still stand a chance of sneaking into the second qualifying slot. KEGS 2, in 3rd place, have the easiest fixture on paper, playing bottom of the league Dubai ExPutts 2, but you can rest assured the KEGS will have to fight for every point against the league leaders compadrais as they try to ensure as easy as possible a final leg for the ExPutts 1. Massin 2 who currently sit in second place play second bottom FIGME. Pundits expect MasSin 2, who are defending champions, to progress safely to the quarter finals, however there are a number of familiar faces within the two societies and MasSin will not turn up expecting an easy ride.
The Worldwide Golf League is event tighter with only 4 points separating 1st and 4th place. The Ackerdemicals and DIGS prop up the table. Neither can qualify and they play each in the final fixture meaning only a battle to avoid finishing bottom. This means the top 4 face an intriguing head to head battle to secure the all important top 2 spot. Interestingly enough any team from the top 4 who achieve an 6 – 0 whitewash is certain of qualification. Dubal (16 points) and Dubai Divots (15 points) hold the upper hand should the fixtures be tight as Massin 1 and the Filipino Golf Society sit third and fourth respectively on 12 points.
