The Toulouse Hawks recorded a powerful 59 point win over the Bordeaux Bombers in their Round Six match in Bordeaux. Backing up from a solid win against the Paris Cockatoos last start, their win against Bordeaux sees the hawks take top spot on 16 points, two points ahead of the now second placed Cockatoos.

The Hawks downed the Bombers 126 – 67, giving them a share of premiership favouritism whilst consigning the Bombers to a prolonged battle to avoid the wooden spoon.

In the other match for the round, The Paris Cockatoos handed the Cergy-Pontoise Coyotes a hiding which saw the Coyotes fall from top spot. The Cockatoos defeated the Coyotes 106 to 10 and laid claim on second place, at least until next weekend.

The final match of Round Six will see the reigning premiers, the Paris Cockerels, take on the vastly improved Perpignan Tigers in Paris. The Tigers have huge incentive to pull off a win against the odds, having been passed by the Toulouse Hawks in recent weeks to now sit in fifth place and just out of finals position with three rounds to go.
