Brewers keep hope alive

Cairo's habit of losing to bottom 10 teams (4 wins, 4 losses) is really starting to hurt them! And with clashes against the competition's top 2 teams to come, maybe they aren't a certainty for the 8?

Berlin meanwhile has kept its slim finals hopes alive, with its best performance of the year.

Hope some of our injured players get through fitness tests this week - With Laird a late wihdrawal had only 16 players available from the list.

Will have to address depth in trade period.

Big thanks to JPK, Cotch, Pittard and Martin who held our team afloat this weekend.

Pumas Roar

As mentioned in one of my write ups in my thread, technically Pumas can't roar. Only the 4 big cats can, i.e Lions, Tigers, Jaguars and Leopards. But I'll forgive you since we won ;)
