Last Sunday at Brown Deer Park marked the final round of the Milwaukee Hurling Club League regular schedule with three teams waving goodbye to advancement while the other eight readied for the Playoff’s.
The Irish Pub Ninjas in defeating then second placed Brocach secured their top seed birth for the Playoffs while early season favourite Slims West came right back into the picture to wrap up second spot with victory over recent league leader All Tool. Shamrock Club came from sixth place to grab third seed with a comfortable win over Ale House as Burke’s remained in fourth place when upset by the improving Trinity.
The bottom half of the seeding sees All Tool, Brocach, Ale House and Trinity secure fifth through eight respectively with County Clare, Silver Spring House, and McBob’s losing out in the Playoff race.
On Sunday the Playoff’s begin with lose and you’re gone criteria. Match dynamics change, the stakes increase but still each team will feel that they have a fighting chance of making the semis.
