Division-by-Division Review by Fantasy points - Division 8
Division 8 saw 206 players take to the field, although 85 of these only played one or two games.
League Winners – Bagenalstown
If my memory serves me correctly, Bagenalstown suffered multiple relegations throughout the Club in 2014. They have proved their bouncebackability straight way with a league title. 8 wins, plus 1 walkover win against 2 no results and just two defeats left them to lift the title. They did however score the most points as Leinster CC could only match their total of 199. Leinster however finished third, suggesting that when they were good they were very good and when they were bad....
Total Points scored in Division – 36,099

Most Ducks
86 players shared 109 ducks. Here are the unfortunate ones who had more than one duck this season. Poker player David Lappin of Leinster CC won’t get much for his pair of ducks, will he? T Koen appears here, but is also a divisional overall points leader in Division 14.
