Game 5: Hobos vs Chumunga - This was the first match up between two Earls for the round. Both teams played exactly the same tactics and both came to shoot the lights out! The first quarter turned out to be a decent are wrestle between two evenly matched sides. Chumunga found range from downtown and hit 5-9 in the 1st while Hobos managed only 2-9. Surprisingly only 1 point separated the teams at the 1st break. Hobos turned the tables in the 2nd shooting 4-8 3's while Chumunga hit only 2 of 10. This time Hobos lead by 1pt going in to half time. Hobos then put the hard yards, in to add another 8 points to their lead before the final break. Unfortunately for Hobos Chumunga weren't even nearly done, piling on a massive 44 points to 24 to win by 11. An amazing last quarter come back for the winners and a very demoralizing loss for the Fannyman. End Scores: 106-117
Stats: The two main standouts for Chumunga were (PG) Koneth and (SG) Nicholson both scoring huge numbers, 42pts & 35pts respectively, Koneth shooting 8-16 3pt attempts. (SF) Bokgård helped out with 23pts, 9reb & 6ast while (C) Sultan ripped down a game high 22reb. For Hobos (SF) Chaturvedi top scored with 29pts plus added 7reb & 6ast. (PG) Desgastell put up similar numbers with 23pts, 7reb, & 8ast while (C) Verhoeven put up a nice double with 16pts & 17reb. (PF) Iracusta pulled down 20reb but failed to impact on the scoreboard.

Game 6: Amos Rogues vs Zazzocalypse - Next up was another battle between two Earls, this time the rebuilding Rogues suffered a crushing defeat to the Zazz. One might have thought a fellow Earl might have taken it easy on his conference leader but it wasn't to be so. Zazz put up big numbers and gave no easy baskets to the 3 rookies holding the Rogues together. The end result, a 106 point obliteration. Hopefully we'll see some new names in the coming weeks so the Rogues don't have to cop this week after week.
End Scores: 36 - 142
Stats: For Zazz the points and game time were shared out pretty evenly so pretty much everybody got a turn. (PG) Švorinic top scored with 23pts shooting 50% from the field as well as beyond the arc. (SG) Villarreal added 20pts along with 6reb, 8ast & 5stl while (PF) put down 20pts, 23reb, 6ast and 3blk. Rogues (SF) Nair managed to knock up a tally of 20pts but hit only 7 of 30 attempts. He came close to a double falling short by just 1 rebound with 9.

Game 7: Crockers vs The Dons - The Crockers moved to the top of the league ladder after a strong win against fellow Rook, The Dons. This was a game that never looked in doubt, though The Dons can hold their heads up for not giving in. The winners may be guilty of showing some compassion in the final quarter, unlike a certain team under the Earls banner. Life won't get any easier with their next game up against the current number 2 team in the league and a team unlikely to show any mercy. End Scores: 124-103
Stats: The Crockers were well lead by (SF) Balaji knocking down 29pts at just under 50% and getting his hands on 9reb. Next up (PF) Kirk nailed 25pts and doubled up with 14reb who was closely followed by (PG) Seman with 24pts. Seman appeared to be spraying shots all over the place tonight, not even once managing to find the hole from beyond the arc. Luckily his passing wasn't off though, finding his team mates 8 times for the assist. Dons (SF) Plasier top scored the game with an impressive 39pts shooting 5-11 3pt and grabbing 10reb. (SG) Ots managed a respectable 23pts, unfortunately his night ended short with an injury. The courtside Doctor advised it was nothing serious and he should bounce back for the next game just fine.

Game 8: Baxter Bogans vs Monkey Business - The final game of the round was the most anticipated game, featuring the two big dogs from the Earls. Both teams looking to bounce back after difficult, close losses to Rooks last week. A fantastic defensive effort from MB allowed them to get out to a 4pt lead by the end of the 1st. BB struggling to find range from 3pt land missing a total off 11 3's in the 1st. MB (SG) Chaudier rubbed salt into the wound by hitting 2-3 on his own. Chaudier went missing in the 2nd, while BB (SF) turned it on with 12pts, allowing his side to enter half time with a handy 7pt lead after an 11pt turn around. Both teams gave as good as they got in the 3rd scoring 30-32, MB shortening the deficit to 5pts. The crowd filled stadium were on the edge of their seats in anticipation of a thrilling battle in the final quarter. MB now gaining a reputation for blazing 4th quarter finishes, piled on 35pts to 24 to win the game by 6pts. This now has the highly touted Baxter Bogans currently sitting at the opposite end of the ladder as to that which was predicted. One would think this horror run can't last forever though after a tough draw to start the season. End Scores: 103-109
Stats: MB (PG) Chaudier top scored for his side with 26pts shooting 62.5% beyond the arc with 5 triples and also dishing out 9ast. (SF) Condeixa contributed with 25pts & 8reb while (SG) Guillestegui fouled out in the 4th with 20pts. (C) Coffey put up the only double for the game with 14pts, 11reb and 4blks. Not to be outdone by his direct opponent BB (PG) Lopinš hit a game high 28pts but shooting a woeful 14% from outside. (SG) Duong chipped in with 23pts, 6ast & 5reb also shooting equally as bad from outside at 14% and 27%fg. Reckong the coach will have these lads doing basic shooting drills all week. Finally (C) Rollán monstered 21reb failed to make double figures on the scoreboard.

damn mate, these reports are very very detailed ! i can see why the reviews have stopped over in our league ! hahah
ur spending wayyy too many minutes over here

Yeah I figured i'd cut back to one update a week in the div II league. I'm spending way too much time reviewing the PL games to write these reviews. :-P

your doing a great job though mate. so keep them coming.

TEA CUP Season 2 is about to begin!

12 teams, 12 weeks of intense private league games good enough to rival any league out there.

Any teams interested, send me a PM

I highly recommend anyone not in a private league to join one, it gives you an extra game a week and even better it is a game where everyone plays their best roster. It is worth geting upporter just for this as well as helping the game we all love. Joining an all aussie league with a strong community would be a bonus.

The Fish Bowl is soon starting its third season. We have 3 divisions, 32 teams, weekly MVP ladder, 4 overall assosiations so everyone is not only competing for themselves but for their team, we have mentors that will help you make your teams better including 3 ABBL teams and a lot of good division II teams. we have end of season prizes for MVPs, best individual teams and best assosiation. These prizes vary from 3 months of supporter up to potentially a year of free supporter. I believe we are currently full so this is not an attempt to recruit people, just information.

So if you are not a supporter get it and join the TEA CUP or another private league. You wont regret it!
