Cheltenham had to wait until the conclusion of the third men's Division 1 game at Haberdashers today (11 December) before confirming their place alongside Penguin, Polytechnic, Manchester and Lancaster in the Super 5s.
At the start of the day, Cheltenham were up against Sheffield, who knew they would qualify for the Super 5s with a win or draw. Cheltenham triumphed 11-7, putting Super 5s qualification firmly in their sights - providing Invicta didn't beat Manchester in game three.
Two points for Invicta would have put them level on points with Cheltenham - but with the Super 5s slot going to Invicta by virtue of their 14-13 win against Cheltenham earlier in the season! In the end, all the conjecture was unnecessary - Manchester resolved the dilemma for Cheltenham by winning 8-4.
Cheltenham took a while to settle against Sheffield and trailed 4-2 before taking charge, including a couple of fine goals from Charlie Brogan in the centre-forward position. Penguin completed an undefeated season with a runaway 28-10 victory over Caledonia.
