The fierce contest which has become a treat of no retreat no surrender has seen the top three teams involved fights for every game even if it may cost a major drop of their blood. No doubt, mother nature might as well play a determinant in who eventually goes to Europe next season, but they sure had to put in their best if grace may abide on one of the three contenders for a top four position.
