Wow, the general consensus earlier in the season was that this EBBL season was a pretty strong set of teams, but we've all been shown to be rubbish.

I just hope all of these beast D2 teams are too busy with the cup to make it into the EBBL next season...

My priority has been on staying in the EBBL and training my players. I only wish some more of the EBBL teams would have stayed in for longer and lost more of their league games!
However if you look, the teams have similar records so it will be a frantic end to the season...

i think both teams on the road have it very hard. i think the Colliders will make it through to the final. As for Durham/Risk and Reward i have no idea. If either crunches they will make the final but probably not then the cup

Risk and Reward are massive favourites in my opinion. They look good for promotion and having already beaten Hadron on the road won't be too worried about who they play in the final.

I know how good Nathaniel Team are, I've never beaten them, though the last twice I've rested starters against them because the Cup games those weeks were more important. Still I think Hadron have an edge in that semi.

We've all beaten EBBL teams along the way which I think makes us all deserving semi finalists and whoever wins the Tournament can feel they deserve that too.

I think the Wasps, having stung Ashington and the Tigers on consecutive thursdays, probably don't have the wings for a third miracle. We'll give it a go though.

A disappointing end to my tournament run for this year, though not an entirely unexpected one.

Risk and Reward did look better on paper and that was how it looked all through the game. Better players all round, leading to better rebounding, better shooting and better defence.

It was hard work for my players throughout, and when our star man, Lescarret, fouled out in the 4th it looked over. In the end I think it could have been far worse than a 16 point loss.

I have to say well played to Zombie, a deserved win. Good luck in the final.

Cheers mate. Enjoying the first win. Was a good game till the end it seems even though it seemed pretty done at half time. Didn't plan on winning until the semi's and then i didn't want to let it slip away! Lets hope promotion doesn't slip away now... Well done Hadron, good tourney, good effort.
