British XV Finals - Week 1 Lodgement and Banter

[GoLions]

Final match results:



The Dragons escape with a win against the Hurricanes, and can count their lucky stars that they weren't up against any other team in the top 8 this week! The Hurricanes are looking at being knocked out in straight sets at this stage with a score like that. I should note, that if iZander backed in good ol' Jasper P over May, the 'Canes would have won by 3 points. The Hurricanes will be up against the Steins next week, and the Dragons get a break to address a few things, as this scoring won't win them another final.

Leeches have a convincing win over the Werewolves, who were simply missing too many players to cover effectively. Leeches are arguably the favourite to take out the premiership this season if they can keep up this scoring, but we all now how well the Dragons can go on their day as well. The Werewolves have a tough job against the Bunnies next week.

The Owls were just hit too hard by injury, and the Steins got over the line comfortably at home. A very winnable game against the Hurricanes awaits them next week, and they'll consider themselves favourites going into the game. We say goodbye to our reigning champs though, but expect them to come out all guns blazing next year with a fit and firing squad!

And in our other knockout final, the Bunnies come out as huge winners over the Magic, making a statement to the rest of the other finalists, that they mean business! They'd be a tad annoyed that they face the Werewolves, and not the Hurricanes, though. Will be a very tough match, especially with the Werewolves having HGA. Meanwhile, we also say goodbye to the Magic, who will be devastated that they gave up that top 5 spot in the last round of the year, which has turned out to be very costly indeed.

For those in the bottom 8, feel free to modify your team each week if you want to take part in the 'Consolation Finals' set up in UF. This will have zero impact on ladder position and won't have HGA or anything, so just for a bit of fun :)

And what about our bottom 8, eh? :P

The Breakers put up a very good score against the Knights, who must have been extremely exhausted after their last 2 months. A few outs didn't help.

The Hedgies managed to get over the Hawks, with a few outs for each team perhaps impacting the result as well.

The Giants and Hoods both put up solid scores, with the Giants getting over the line in the end.

And finally, the Badgers get their first win since Round 3 of the H&A season, just managing to outscore the Rams ;D
