Rapid - Dive on Form with Six Straight Wins

The Club Rapid reaches its final week this week with Russell Dive brushing aside the opposition, and seeing off his traditional rival Anthony Ker in round 8. I didn't see any of that game, but I did see him torturing Mark van der Hoorn in the previous round with a typically Divesque queen side storm - vintage stuff! Mark came back the following round to dispose of the upstart Alan Aldridge, who had previously had an unbeaten run, including victory over Bill the previous round (you can see that game on the website)
Further down the list, Rama Rao Miriyala is having a great tournament (three wins, one draw, no losses), but he has missed 2 weeks' play. Roshan avenged himself against Pat Cunningham, reversing their result in the Autumn Cup which decided the E grade title.
Unfortunately, Layla was absent through sickness this week, and she will also miss the last 2 rounds as she is playing in Auckland. Hopefully we'll see her back at the club soon.
