ROUND 15 Draw

Winchester Werewolves v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs @ The Rose Bowl
Werewolves suffered a surprise loss and will be looking to bounce back to answer challenges being posed by the Hawks and  The Hoods. Ablett should be better for the run last weeks for the Werewolves. Hedgehogs have been a little disappointing over the last 2 weeks and would need to win this one if they are to keep their flickering final 8 hopes alive. Werewolves to win this one.

Leeds Leeches v Manchester Magic @ Elland Road Stadium
Leeches have been going wlwlw for the last few matches. So based on that stats say magic should win. However magic have been very disappointing and need to get the right players in the right position if the are to prevent Leeches breaking their sequence. Leeches to triumph here

Bradford Badgers v Hastings Hurricanes @ Badger Village
My match of the Round. Badgers upset the werewolves last week and if that form is brought this week they have the ability to upset the 3rd placed Hurricanes. A win by the Badgers would see them displace the Hurricanes in the Top 4. Hurricanes would not to relinquish this position so can expect a titanic struggle between these two relatively even matched teams, Toss of the coin here and neither team can afford to be partly off their game.

Oxford Owls v Nottingham Hoods @ Incheon Stadium
5th v 8th Both Teams had strong wins last week.  Hoods had their highest score for the season and if they can maintain this momentum they should account for the Owls. Owls sit precariously in 8th place and a loss will open up 8th position for the Cruisers and Leeches. Owls are capable of upsetting the Hoods but can not see it especially if Hoods play like last week.

Grope Lane Giants v Crosby Cruisers @ Giant Stadium
On paper this should be an easy win to the cruisers. However the Giants really pushed the Hurricanes last week just falling short and if they can maintain this effort they may upset the Cruisers. A loss to the Cruisers will really put a nial in their final aspirations so expect them to come out firing. Cruisers tipped here but a Giants upset would not surprise.

Blackpool Bunnies v Birmingham Dragons @ Bloomfield Road
This is a match between two of the lower teams.  A win by the Bunnies may see them out of the bottom 4 and that should be incentive enough to overcome the Dragons.  The Dragons though should be strengthened by the return of Tom Rockliff so Bunnies will need to be on their game if they are to win.  Bunnies should win but a Dragons upset again will not surprise.

Swansea Breakers v Liverpool Rams @ Swalec Stadium
The other contender for match of the round but put my bias aside. Little really separates these 2 teams despite their positions on the ladder. If these 2 teams played each other last week Breakers would have triumphed narrowly so we can expect a tight tussle between the 2 teams. Breakers have a better % than Rams so a win by the Breakers may catapult them into top 4 depending on other results.  Rams will not relinquish that position lightly as well.  Breakers HGA may see them home but really too close to call this one.

Huddersfield Hawks v Staines Steins @ Galpharm Stadium
With Steins really struggling due to injuries it is hard to see them overcoming the 2nd placed Hawks. Hawks by plenty here.

There are a few matches where the result will dictate positions in the 8. There is only % and 1 game separating positions 2 - 8. Also 1 game and % separating positions 8 - 10.  So we may see big changes in the table after this weeks game.

Remember too Hawks and Hoods are fighting for the Rob Roy shield.

Good luck to everyone with teams to be lodged in this thread.
