The Nottingham Scorpions have held a determined Sheffield Thunder at bay over the weekend, keeping them at arm’s length to record a 19-point victory. The Thunder crew are pragmatic enough to realise that on paper it was another loss, but can see the improvement in their side after a tough, hard contest. Nottingham remain in second place on the ladder, whilst Thunder have consecutive matches against the Tigers and Saints to possibly build a winning streak.

In other matches, big margins were the order of the day. The Manchester Mozzies gave the Huddersfield Rams a football lesson, recording a 190-point victory – their third huge margin in three games so far. For the Rams, the result will be a kick into action. They have started the season well enough – going down to the Scorpions by less than five goals before downing the Thunder – but now they have a chance to recalibrate again before their next clash. The Mozzies sit comfortably atop the ladder.

The Wolverhampton Wolverines unleashed their fury on the Merseyside Saints, galloping to a massive 251-point win. The Wolverines are certainly a strong unit, having recorded two 200-point plus wins from their two matches. The Saints are still developing and will not pay much attention to the scoreboard, other than use it as a marker to their next goal.

The Tyne Tees Tigers had the bye.
