A fantastic OT victory for the NT!
As always you have three choices for MVP, but you probably only need one.

A tough defeat for the U21 team. After a slow start they led most of the way, only to fall behind right at the end. Here are your MVP candidates:

I doubt we've ever seen 12 blocks by an u21 player before.

An unlucky defeat for the NT this week, voting - (https://strawpoll.com/polls/XOgONdoean3)

After two tough losses, the U21's came back from a double-digit deficit to claim a nice away win. Honestly couldn't decide between the three so shamelessly voted for my own player as the tiebreaker. Voting - (https://strawpoll.com/polls/GJn47e9kmyz)

The NT signed off with a win vs Cyprus. Some strong wins this season vs Germany and Belgium, but unfortunately a very tough group where even six wins might not have been enough. Vote for your last MVP here - (https://strawpoll.com/w4nWrLbWqyA)

Another win for the U21's. Currently 18th, and assuming they take care of business in the last game they should be around that seeding for the second stage. Vote for your MVP here: (https://strawpoll.com/mpnboRbJLg5)

A narrow loss in a friendly vs Georgia for the NT. With their competitive season over, the final results for the NT MVP voting is below - with the shared win from last week being enough for Kemp to edge ahead of Smith. Congratulations!

For the U21's, a massive win in their final game of the first round, with their opponent somehow held to zero FG's in the first half. Tricky to only pick three candidates, maybe a bit unfair to leave out Buster Ko, but wanted to reward the two bigs for their defense. Vote for your MVP here - (https://strawpoll.com/Q0ZpR5x3VnM)

We will find out our first opponent in the next round tomorrow, but it's possibly looking like the 15th seed and a home game to start.

The U21 season is over, with a tough away loss to Portugal. Overall not a bad season for the team - a great win vs a much stronger Hungary team in the first game, and one victory in the second round. Our two defeats earlier in the season were by a small margin, and if they had gone the other way a 100% record and a better seeding would have given us a better shot in the second round.

We now look to prepare for the next season with players currently 20 years old or younger.
