The Wandsworth Demons have temporarily reclaimed top spot on the AFL London ladder with a comprehensive thrashing of the Wimbledon Hawks. In the only Premiership Division game played last weekend due to the split round, the Demons flexed their muscle to down the Hawks by 136 points.
The final score saw the Wandsworth Demons 22 18 150 defeat the Wimbledon Hawks 2 2 14.
It was a timely statement by the Demons after losing top spot the previous round when they were downed by the West London Wildcats. Whilst the Wildcats will most likely claim top spot back again next weekend, the Demons needed to keep the pressure on and themselves stay in the race for the minor premiership.
Whilst the loss would be somewhat discouraging for the Hawks, they still hold fourth place on the ladder ahead of the Putney Magpies and London Swans. The round will be completed next weekend when the West London Wildcats clash with the London Swans and the North London Lions meet the Putney Magpies.
