Fantasy Cricket 2017 – Week Seven (by Ian Hewson)
Not a good weekend with three losses for the club. Aks Latifi stays top but Hewson has closed the gap to 6 points, while Alex Sparks and Arron Campbell keep the pace. Hewson still leads the Manager of the Month (boo!) with just one week to play.

Players
Weekly
After three years, many attempts to result-fix and a good decision to exclude Andy Hurry from the list of players, Ian Hewson finally wins player of the week. Nick Crossing’s first 50 for the club sees him get second place and may prove a worthy addition to a few teams, given that he is down as a bowler and can’t lose points.
| Player Name | Score | |
| 1 | I Hewson | 32 |
| 2 | N Crossing | 24 |
| 3 | R Moysey | 20 |
| 4 | D Luxton | 15 |
| 5 | R Davies | 15 |
| 6 | T Trott | 15 |
| 7 | K Hine | 11 |

Overall
Thom Trott consolidates his position at the top of the player rankings, increasing his lead to 47. Hewson’s good week sees him in triple figures and in third place. A good week for Jake the Snake, Bevett and ‘Tromboning’ Saunders could see them hit 3 figures too.
| Player Name | Score | |
| 1 | T Trott | 179 |
