Round 7 results

YST Peggers 7 v 4 RSL Tigers

The Peggers keep up their impressive season with a hard fought win over the Tigers, who were a player short on the night.

MDBC Dragons 5 v 6 MDBC Dolphins

The Dolphins pick up what has to be the biggest surprise win of the season beating heavyweights the Dragons who suffered missing their star player, Nick Potente.

MDBC Eagles 6 v 5 MDBC Scuttlers

The Eagles tremendous run of form continued with a tight win over the Scuttlers which saw Captain Brett Napier take the victory in the final game against his opposite number, Breanna Blyth.

RSL Brewers 3 v 8 MDBC Tryers

Another huge win for the seemingly unstoppable Tryers as the Brewers continue struggling to find a win.  The win sees the still unbeaten Tryers move even further ahead on the table.

Round 8 results

RSL Tigers 4 v 7 MDBC Tryers

The Tryers seems unstoppable but the Tigers once again put up a great fight before succumbing. The title is starting to look like a foregone conclusion.

MDBC Dolphins 2 v 9 MDBC Scuttlers

The Scuttlers got themselves not only back into winning ways again against the Dolphins, but managed to worm their way into the top 4 for the first time this season since round 1.

MDBC Dragons 6 v 5 RSL Brewers

A replay of last season’s grand final saw the Dragons come out on top again as they seem to in the league matches, but the Brewers have now lost 4 games in a row and are sitting in the bottom half of the table in what is a huge comedown for the current champions.

MDBC Eagles 6 v 5 YST Peggers

The Eagles magnificent run of results continued this week with yet another impressive performance, this time over the Peggers who gave them a run for their money but came up short at the end.

Dragons 57
Peggers 48
Scuttlers 46
Brewers 43
Eagles 39
Tigers 26
Dolphins 25

The Tryers are way out in front at this point and will take some serious catching if they are to lose the Minor Premiership from here, but the Dragons, as usual, are never far behind the leaders. The fight is real for the next 4 teams as they battle it out for the two available slots in the A-Grade finals, and if the Brewers don’t pick their game up soon cold well find themselves in contention for a B Grade title.
