After that truly unexpected result, Kent sail home early as champions. Congratulations to @Iridium on finally toppling New South Wales. The final match is now something of a dead rubber:

That was expected. This after all is a team in heavy decline.

Hoping we can save our best for the last and give the home crowd something to cheer about.

So New South Wales has finally been beaten.

AT LAST!! Props to NSW for their run but it feels good to finally get one over them. To be the best, you have to beat the best!

Don't worry about cluttering the thread, that's always a nice post to find.

There are potentially another 95-ish seasons of this left to run with a gradually increasing number of teams, so there should be a manager's job going reasonably soon if you want one.
