Super League – Round 2

The 2021 Super League continued with Round 2 on 20 October with Minotaurs taking on Marauders in the pouring rain – by the end they were playing water boules. Monarchs and Meteors, who had sensibly postponed their game on Tuesday evening when the rain was equally heavy, took to the pistes this evening. Marauders and Meteors both put up a good fight, each taking one game off their supposedly stronger opponents but Minotaurs [45-28] and Monarchs [42-28] both ran out 3-1 winners.

Minotaurs maintain their lead in the Super League with a slightly better games won total. Round 3, in 2 weeks, pits the top 2 against each other with Monarchs needing to win to knock Minotaurs off the top spot.
