Suns Exit Light; Enter Berlin Night

AW SHIEET SARN! After once being 268 from 4, Berlin have had a Sunday to remember with all it's Sunday players scoring centuries! It was Max Gawn that brought the Brewers back into the game, and Jack Steven that earned its Coach his first Coach of the Week title for 2016! The Suns would have liked much more from its captain Rockliff; with this loss hurting its minor premiership campaign...

... or does it?

Thunder take up residence in Armadillo Shells

It was a rough day at the office for the Thunder; they just can't seem to shake the odd 120-130 score, and it'll hurt their quest for the finals, but it's far from the killing blow. The Dillos just keep on winning, except with Tom Nicholls being the one to stand up.

Reindeers play in Crooke Park

Gee, it would have been a long time since Dublin walked out of Crooke Park as the losing team? This was a HUGE win for the Reindeers, HUGE! With this, they fully deserve to be a top 4 team and they also get a mental advantage should they play Dublin in the finals. With the Suns losing, Dublin had a prime opportunity to sit by itself as #1 on the ladder (and vice versa), but couldn't get over the plucky Reindeers.

Dublin Destroyers (21.6.132) lost to PNL Reindeers (22.10.142)

Royals defeat Lingering Sands

This was a pretty tight match the whole way through, with the Royals winning by 2 SC points if they didn't have HGA. But it was the efforts of Rampe and Shuey that got them over the line. The Sands were pretty good though; but would be annoyed that this effort would have beaten the Royals any other week of the year  :-X

Saints Survive Spetsnaz Scare

I tell ya what, this Saints team has been lucky this year (in regards of results). The Spetsnaz only had 14 players to choose from, and looking at the scoreline, the lack of a 15th man was the only reason why the Spetsnaz lost. A bitter pill to swallow for Moscow.

Moscow Spetsnaz (20.11.131) lost to Christchurch Saints (21.7.133)

Best
Moscow: Sam Docherty, Robbie Gray, Jesse Hogan
Christchurch: Matthew Boyd, Jake Stringer, Sam Mitchell
