Division 9 review - Part 1

Division-by-Division Review by Fantasy points - Division 9

Division 9 saw 232 players take to the field, although 101 of these only played one or two games.

League Winners – North County

North County are the only league champions who had fewer points than two of the chasing pack and yet still won the league on percentage. Greystones scored 21 more points, but finished fourth, whilst Adamstown scored 17 points more and finished second, just 0.04% behind the winners. It has to have been so very tight at the top, proving that even in defeats, every point counts.

Total Points scored in Division – 40,650

Division 9 favourites for 2016, if the OCC leave them in this league, will unquestionably be Greystones. The Club continues to expand and with its grounds in Druids Glen maturing one expects them to continue to nurture players for the future. In Eoin Lenehan they have this seasons fantasy point winners and top bat, but add in Sinto John and his bowling they will be again formidable.
