Wisconsin Cockerels 21.11.137 defeated Houston Bombers 18.11.119
(Real: 2055 vs 1785)

Houston gave it a fair shake in comfortably their best performance of the season, but Wisconsin were out for blood after two poor losses in a row - bet they wish they saved a 137 for one of those games instead of on Houston. Imagine being Houston and putting up a 119 and losing percentage?


Quito Quetzals 17.13.115 lost to Chicago Sharks 17.14.116
(Real: 1722 vs 1737)

Not a great showing for either side, but the Sharks get up by 15 SC points - the same score that Jack Bowes gave them (he was subbed off so his score is irrelevant but still). If you ignore the Bowes incident, plus Barrass, Florent and Gaff going sub-50, Chicago were good. Quito only had the one sub-50 (plus Setterfield's 51), but couldn't quite match the Chicago C/VC going 134 and 128.


Las Vegas Sinners 22.9.141 defeated San Francisco Grizzlies 15.11.101
(Real: 2121 vs 1520)

Surely nobody has ever conceded two 2000+ scores in a row? Whoever did this fixture must be cooked out of their mind.


Ottawa Otters 19.11.125 lost to Carolina Panthers 20.8.128
(Real: 1880 vs 1917)

The Otts were SO close to greatness, but the class of the Panthers prevailed in the match of the round. JVR and Luko twin 33s, with Hogan and Balta not much better, soured what could've been a real ripper Ottawa score (and victory, of course). The Package delivered just in time for the Panthers to clutch out a win, as it was his only score this season that would've been enough to win the Panthers this game.


Boston Terriers 19.7.121 defeated Anaheim Mighty Ducks 13.12.90
(Real: 1808 vs 1353)

Remember when Anaheim were 1240 with Cotchin, Chol, and Cumbo left? They managed 58 points between them, as Anaheim flounder to another 90-odd and get smacked by the rampaging Terriers, who probably would've beaten whatever Anaheim could put up, in spite of having six scores sub-60 - Porko just carried them to the stratosphere.


Colorado Avalanche 17.8.110 lost to New Brooklyn Hawks 18.7.115
(Real: 1649 vs 1724)

This may not look like a great Hawks score, but they had a 72 as captain and 5 of the last 8 names on the teamsheet scored 51 on under. Cripps put the team on his shoulders (thanks to playing West Coast) against Colorado whose midfield was great, but the rest of the team...not so much.
