Matchleague Division 1

JURYSOUT stayed top in Division 1 but their lead was trimmed after they went down 74-53 at BY 'ECK, while GREMLINS held second and closed the gap with a 63-60 win over MISSING LINK and EZE DOES IT kept up the pressure in third by beating BADLY GOOD 81-75.

Matchleague Division 2

GLORY GLORY stayed top of Division 2 on 37 points despite a 69-45 loss at CORNISH REDS, and BECKENBAURFLY are now just a point back after edging BONGO FURY 47-45 to move onto 36.

At the bottom end, LALJILAND FC and KAMIKAZEES both added wins, beating GOTHATTERS FC 60-44 and WHALLEY RANGE FC 54-34 respectively.

John Walsh Cup

WILLS WINGDINGS RL won the John Walsh Cup with a 113-81 victory over KUDUS TO YOU, wrapping up the first Swengland trophy of the season in convincing fashion. Stuart played his Bench Boost for the final, but the result was already heading his way, with WILLS WINGDINGS RL building a decisive lead and keeping KUDUS TO YOU at arm’s length throughout. KUDUS TO YOU, managed by Tom Iddon, had no chips left to throw at it and couldn’t match the pace on the night as the cup went to WILLS WINGDINGS RL.

MOTW

Manager of the Week goes to Stuart after WILLS WINGDINGS RL’s John Walsh Cup-winning performance, while Bertil takes Worst MOTW for WHALLEY RANGE FC after scoring 34, the lowest total across AllSwengland this week.
