Draw for Rd 4 with First Named Teams having the Home Ground Advantage.

Oxford Lions v Hastings Hurricanes
1st v 3rd - This should be a cracker of a game with the two undefeated teams clashing. Before teams are changed UF prediction has 1 point separating the teams. Bost teams had very underwhelming captains scores last week so winner may come from which Captain bounces back more, Lions have the stronger attack and this may just see them over the line but a real toss of the coin.
Wrexham Knights v Staines Steins
9th v 6th - After a very strong first round the Knights will be looking to rediscover this form if they are to topple the Steins who have put two strong performances after their shock 1st Round defeat. Knights have the 2nd stingiest defence and they will need to be at their best to contain the Steins attack 2nd strongest in the comp. If the knights defence hold will they score enough to defeat the Knights. Another real toss of the coin with maybe the Steins attack breaching the Knights defence,
Winchester Werewolves v Birmingham Dragons
14th v 15th - Which one of these teams will have their first win of the season. Should be a close match with maybe the Wolves getting over the Dragons who have the leakiest defence in the competition.
Huddersfield Hawks v Liverpool Rams
8th v 11th - Another close game here with little separating both teams on %. Hawks with 2 victories over the Rams 1. Another game hard to separate teams with a result hard to predict. Rams Captain was a little below  par last week and if he can lift and match Hawks Captain then maybe they just might get over them.
Grope Lane Giants v Swansea Breakers
7th v 13th On paper should be an easy win for the Giants. Breakers have shown improvement but do not think they can overcome the might of the Giants,
Bradford Badgers v Leeds Leeches
16th v 12th - The Leeds coach went missing last week and will need to be in charge of the team this week to keep them on track should they wish to overcome the bottom of the table and injury hit Badgers, Leeds easy winners if coach is there to direct them,
Manchester Magic v Blackpool Bunnies
5th v 2nd This is another close match and hard to predict with the Magic coming off two strong successive wins after a close first round loss to the Hurricanes including putting up the highest score of the year in Rd 2. Bunnies have the best attacking record in the comp but can leak in defence. Can the Magic exploit this. The clash between the two captains will be worth the admittance. Boak has had 3 best on ground for the first 3 rounds and will need to be contained and Cripps is gaining confidence with every match. Will go Magic in a close one.
Nottingham Hoods v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
10th v 4th Hoods were unlucky last week with Leeches Home crowd getting them home in the last few minutes. Hoods would need to contain the Hedgies attack if they are to prevail and then find a way to get through the Hedgies defence,  Can not seethe Hoods doing both so a Hedgies win here in another close game.
