The Game of Snakes and Ladders

Curramulka placed another twist to the ladder on Saturday when they defeated Warooka at Warooka. The ladder is reminiscent of the game of Snakes and Ladders, when you win you go when you lose you slip down a place or twp. Warooka had slipped out of the top four now and are in fifth position four points ahead of Stansbury. On the other hand, Curramulka has climbed the ladder into fourth place.

Minlaton scored a good win against Port Vincent to give them a lift up the ladder to third place whilst stansbury landed on a snake and slipped to sixth place. They will need a good role of the dice in the last few games to make the finals.

Regardless of results from hereon in Yorketown and Edithbrugh are safe at the top of the ladder and will not lose their positions,.
