In Division Two new boys Willingham Wizards made Blues Knights fight hard to win 9-1, a scoreline that gives a false impression of the play.

Kestrels beat Blitz Eagles 9-1, also.

Blues Dynamics made few mistakes during their 8-2 win over Methodist Batmen, while a 5-5 draw between Blitz Gallacticos and clubmates Falcons seemed a fair result with Gallacticos’ Joe Sheehan winning three of his team’s games.
