The Poets at 4-1 lead the intense Norris Division, one game ahead of their divisional rivals. The Wild Boston Terriers improved to 3-2 accounting for Phants Rage fifth consecutive loss of the season. The Basasses win over the Poets move them to 3-2 while the Collared Greenz upset loss to the Drunk Ground Hogs, drops them to 2-3.
In week five, a total of five games hung in the balance until the last quarter of the Monday Night. In fact, so close was one game, that Coach Pioneer threw a red flag 20000km to challenge a Braylon Edwards (Green Beans) touchdown, only to have his own Thomas Jones (Taipans) finish off the score. The Taipans finish the night 1 yard short of taking the division lead.
In a round of upsets, #13 team Show Me Your Td's plucked the #2 team, Helmand Nighthawks, when their defense failed to score a point, allowing the TD's to win 105.74/95.74 The win for Mookie closes up the Sub Simmers division into a three way tie.
Ever so quietly, in the Old Schooners Division, the defending Dragons have quietly improved to 4-1, leading the division and asserting themselves as a potential threat as the # 3 team in the league.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
