BUGS WON THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. With the return of inspirational Bugs mentor Mike returning for a game, they took out Blitz 2 (15-8).



UQ lovers - Moto

In a match that started with both teams playing savage, the Lovers zone D generated a lot of turns in the first half through a mix of strong D pressure and some wayward throws from Heroes. Offensively there were a lot of big shots taken with our receivers pulling down almost everything. Heroes mixed up their D in the first half with some zone which could not stop the Lovers flow and we took half 8-2. Coming out of half we got a couple more breaks to go up 10-2 but fatigue began to set in with the D structure getting a bit loose and few options not coming off. Heroes began to pull it back however the deficit proved to be too much and Lovers took the game 15-10.

It was the last game (potentially for a long time) for Gareth who has been with the club for his BPL career and he certainly made an impact, playing possibly his best game this year. Our all-stars also had a big game both on O and D, showing that the Lovers are truly a team to be reckoned with. Now to crush Dojo in our final game of the season and make the semis.

Blitz 1 - Cunliffe

Well it's was a top of the table clash and it was a cracker!

Cobras struck first - multiple times - jumping out to a 6 v 2 lead.

Blitz was making a loads of simple error - we were dropping uncontested discs, miscommunicating on basic dumps/swings and our long throws seemed to all be falling short or sailing long.

Cobras on the other hand were capitalising on every gift we gave them.

Troy and Reece we sending down lasers like hucks. Wetty and Bryan seemed unstoppable when they went long. It was Cobras in full flight.

Cobras took half 8 v 5 - but at half time it all changed. Blitz came out firing, we put away the simple errors and kicked up the defensive intensity by switching to man - it's was soon 12 v 9 in Blitz' favour and that was a big enough lead to run away with it.

All in all it was a fun, high intensity, yet pretty well spirited game given we were duking it out to stay in the race for the minor premiership - and it's set the stage for another top of the table clash next week - Blitz 1 v Slamtown - where the winner will take the minor premiership and loser will have the grimm prospect of facing the Cobras in the semi.

Very exciting times in BPL!
