After five rounds of the AFL London season, the Wandsworth Demons, West London Wildcats and North London Lions have pulled away from the rest of the pack to grab the top three places. Whilst those three teams can mount a fascinating battle from here to see which team heads to the minor premiership and likely flag favouritism, the battle of the lower three sides is arguably more intense as the Wimbledon Hawks, Putney Magpies and London Swans fight for the other place in the top four and also to get clear of the wooden spoon.

This marks the half way mark of the home and away season with each team having played each other, giving a fair indication of relative strength going into the second half of the season.

Weekend matches saw the Demons down the Hawks by 83 points, the Wildcats savage the Swans by 103 points and the Lions feast on the Magpies to the tune of 102 points in a rather lopsided round. The results see the Wandsworth Demons still undefeated in top spot, with the West London Wildcats breathing down their necks in second place a game behind. The North London Lions hold third spot a comfortable game and a half clear of the Wimbledon Hawks.


Next weekend’s matches will see the top of the table clash between the Demons and the Wildcats which is sure to be a cracking game. The Magpies take on the Hawks and the Swans will play the Lions.
