Some very interesting games this weekend which will have a make up on the final 8 and will also decide the Dungeon Award.

Werewolves appear to have the major premiership sown up unless the falter at the hands of the Cruisers or the Hoods have a very large % booster against the Giants.
Badgers and Hawks playing each other so one will drop down the ladder. The winner may finish 4th if the Hurricanes are defeated by the Breakers so they will have one eye on the Breakers Hurricanes game.
Hedgehogs need to Defeat Owls to shut Hoods out of the 8.
If Hedge hogs are beaten and the Hoods have a % boosting win over the Leeches they may displace the Hedgehogs in 8th place.

The dreaded Dungeon award will be decided by these matches:
Lobsters V Falcons
Owls v Swaggers
Lobsters need to win to hand the award to the Swaggers but face a difficult task.

So all games this week carry some interest for Positions in the Top 8 and avoiding the Dungeon.

Good Luck to all.
