Yarra Park Bears vs. Beasts Red 117 - 90 (36141611)

The Yarra Park Bears were a new addition to the Sharks lineup this season, and they would open their campaign against Kevin's Beasts Red. Beasts should show alot more promise this season, matching up against teams alot closer to their caliber. The Bears opened up a 31-20 lead in the first off some nice play by Ignacio Carlos Napolitano who had 10 1st quarter points. Beasts showed some ferocity in the second clawing their way back to only an 8 point deficit at the half. Jacek Sudzinski lead the Beasts with 15 points, 3 assists and 2 steals. Not to be outdone Cyrus Mendez also had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the beasts. The Bears were headed by Francesc Gomez with 15 points, 4 assists and 3-6 from downtown.

Yarra Park Bears surged again in the third to take a 15 point lead into the last. One would think it would be a game-winning lead for the Bears in their first Fishbowl match. The well-rounded Bears lineup was benefiting from five 10+ point players at 3qtr time. In a 35 point last quarter for the Bears they closed this one out comfortably. Beasts will hope that they aren't all this difficult this season or there may be feelings of deja vu.

3 votes - Yarra Park Bears - Francesc Gómez - 21 points 7 assists 2 steals

Gomez sat out most of the last quarter so this is what a 3 quarter performance looks like. He lead the team for the most part with a team high 21 points in the end from 50% shooting. Also handing out 7 assists led his team to victory.

2 votes - Yarra Park Bears - Kazimierz Reda - 17 points 19 rebounds 4 assists 2 blocks

'Redder' had a great night with a 17-19 double double off 80% shooting. Could be in the votes regularly.

1 vote - Beasts Red - Jacek Sudzinski - 32 points 5 assists 2 steals

Jacek was great in this game for the Beasts and their best player on the court despite only playing 39 minutes unlike some others who played 48. Jacek shot 56% from the field for his points and had half of his teams steals. Without Jacek this could have been a 40+ point loss

ROUND 2

Yarra Park Bears vs. Gisborne Gladiators 130 - 99 (36141616)

Well this encounter has seen the Bears move to the top of the table and also drop the gladiators right to the bottom early in the new season.
With the Bears opting to go with the run and gun offence, they managed to pile on a massive 42pts - 25 first term which basically decided the game. The guards were having a great time running the court and dropping pts all game, also running a muck in defence with steals galore.

3 votes: Matej Kropácek

Scored at will in his 30mins on court 32pts and chipped in with a lazy 7 steals. Downed 6-14 from beyond the arc.

2 votes: Emílio Diniz Jr

Put in 28pts in only 23mins also had 3 blocks and 4 steals not a bad cameo from the Brazilian.

1 vote: António Terroso

Scored 28 pts for the gladiators and reeled in 16 boards. hit 13-21 in a fairly one sided affair but could have been alot worse with this man. Also I believe he is for sale so feel free to check big Antonio out.

Rampaging Marmots vs. Eggplantpopolopolous 108 - 89 (36141615)

Another game with yet again another comfortable margin.The rampaging ones opened up a break in the 2nd to lead by 14pts at the break and comfortably cruised home from there. The team hitting 43-80 and shooting very well from the line they were able take the cake.
The lack of outside defence was the big difference allowing the Marmots good looks at the basket.

3 votes Barry Ó Daire The Irishman scored a game high 35pts and dished off 8 assists to ensure a best on court effort.

2 votes Sam Clune Dropped in 24pts with 7 assists and 7 boards a good all round game to secure the 2 votes.

1 vote Thomas Rice All the votes for the Marmots, couldn't sneak any Eggplants in. The big 120k C scored well and pulled in 15 boards. There may of been a few guys looking at the one vote but with the marmots dominating the game i had to go with the big Rice man.

All-Sorts vs. Home Axis 131 - 121 (36141617)

I would have to say that this game was Match of the round, a high scoring fast tempo game. Only a couple of points each way every break and level at the last. The All Sorts took the last by 10 to finish the stronger team and take the W.
There was plenty of good performances on the court and it was a tough game to give the votes.

3 votes Antonio Pizzolato All Sorts

The Pizzo man had the lot, game high 33pts 10 ass, no turn overs and shot well from the line in a high fouling game.

2 votes Melchor Manzanera Axis

Good game inside cleaned the glass better then windex. 21 boards 32 pts and 13-17 from the line.

1 vote Duilio Pasquino All Sorts

Another big man, no foul trouble and 25pts zero turn overs and19 boards.

Possum Chasers vs. Whompas Donkeys 109 - 85 (36141614)

The game was done with the tactics chosen. The Ring tailed ones picked the right D and as always dumped it inside. Not too much between the teams at half time, but with the Donkeys guards shooting at a ring obviously non regulation size they were no match for their opponents in the second half.

3 votes Carl Halliday Chasers

the man with the toupee score points, claimed rebounds and defended well. Not even a foul to his name.

2 votes Luca Cieckan Chasers

" I don't foul I score" well that was before he defended Iggy, but Luca got it done. Takes the 2 in front of TT as he shot very well scored 24pts and claimed 12 boards. Although he took an early rest he got the job done when it counted.

Trinh Trinh Chasers

Another Possum another vote, no Donkey in the votes as they were rubbish. TT scored 24pts had 5 assist but only the 10 boards for him. Was close to 2 votes but missed out. I am sure he will poll many more this season.

Mangoloids vs. Beasts Red 95 - 80 (36141618)

Well im running late with the write ups so mango you miss out sorry mate. Good win in an all Kevin affair.

3 votes Jasper Bains Mango

20pts and 7 assists in 36 mins is a good game and gets the 3

2 votes Luke McCaskie Mango

The u/21 player also had 20pts and 5 assists in a comfortable win.

1 vote Andrea Runcio Beasts

Game high 39 didnt shoot too well but also 10 boards without him the score would have been alot worse.

[bMad Rangas vs. TEAM LORDY 87 - 118 (36141613) ]

Team Lordy controlled this one from start to finish. The team shot above 50% and cruised to a big win and remain undefeated.

3 votes Ross Underwood Lordy

The 32yo hit 33pts with 5/6 from beyond the arc, also chipped in with 5 assists/

2 votes Wilhelm Reichensperger Lordy

22pts 6 boards and 7 assists take him to 2votes.

10pts 14boards and 5 assists gives him the last vote. Could have gone to a few players but i think he did enough

Underwood has played to stellar games to jump to the front, but no doubt there will be a few players waiting in the wings for their chance to strike

Week 3

Mangoloids vs. Gisborne Gladiators 70 - 56 (36141623)

Last time these two sides met it was a last quarter win for the Mangoloids, taking it 83-74. Mangos went in with almost a similar lineup to last seasons matchup. Gladiators however were absent last seasons center Xavier Suelves who has moved on to greener pastures he hopes. This time the Mangos were favourites again, however a close first quarter saw the affair tied at the break. A big 2nd quarter though saw them gain a 10 point lead which they ultimately won the match with. which is no suprise after the Gladiators spearhead so far this season Antonio Terroso was injured in only 5 minutes. Less impressive rankings for the two sides than last time they squared off may suggest the wrong tactics were used.

A brilliant last quarter start for the Gladiators saw them slash their way back to 53-52 with 7 minutes to go. The momentum looked to have the gladiators heading for a memorable victory, but the Mango's regain composure as a good side does and walked away with a 14 point win. Definitely a closer game that the score suggests. could the Gladiators first win be just around the corner???

3 votes - Mangoloids - Sofronio Mabutol - 22 points 25 rebounds 6 blocks

Great night for Mabutol with a 20-20 along with 6 blocks. He kept his opponent to 2-16, albeit a player out of his depth against Mabutol. He shot 7-12 from the field along with 7-9 from the line. don't think he will have many easier nights this season.

2 votes - Gisborne Gladiators - Gniewosz Sznajder - 17 points 6 rebounds 4 assists

'Snotman' was the best of the Gladiators with his team high 17 points. He only shot 6-18 however none of the Gladiators shot very well at all.

1 vote - Mangoloids - Jasper Bains - 14 points 4 assists 3 steals

Jasper didn't have a great night with those stats, however besides Mabutol who dominated the game the rest of the players had only respectable night. So Bains grabs the 1.
