In the other game over the weekend, the Cergy-Pontoise Coyotes leaped back to the top of the table with their third win of the season.

The weekend results see the Coyotes and Tigers holding first and second place. The remaining Round Four match will see the Paris Cockatoos host the undefeated ALFA Lions. The result will have an impact on the top four after the first four rounds with just a round to go before the winter break. A win for the Cockatoos will see them displace the Tigers in second place. A win for the Lions will see them hold top spot on percentage from the Coyotes.

The unplayed Round Three match between the Toulouse Hawks and the Blagnac Aviators has been postponed until the 17th December. With the defeat to the Coyotes on the weekend, the match against the Aviators becomes vital for the Hawks if they have any thoughts of finals this season.
