Rain Delay

Last week's games, unfortunately, were cancelled, due to monsoon.

However, this week's weather looks to be much better, and features two strong matchups.

Sacred Cows v Irish National Champions

The Cows have shown difficulty coming out of the gate strong against their opponents, and they will need to find some magic early on to not find themselves in a similar position against INC. What they lack in early ignition they make up for in heart, though, after proving that despite any lead, they always have fight left in them, managing to close a 7 point deficit and make a game out of what was once a trouncing.

INC will need to prove it can close out games, and to play with more consistency. Like a lazy student, INC seems to only muster its strength in the waning hours of the game, procrastinating their effort until it is most needed, and to dominate this season they will need to right this ship and play with more discipline throughout points 10-20, where they seem to falter and lose focus.
This game will be won by the team that is able to correct the mistakes of their past games, and is definitely up for grabs.

Desperadoes v Ballers

The Desperadoes have the potential to roll through teams with a strong roster that includes lots of depth in speed and throwing ability. The Ballers more closely resemble that ragtag team that somehow pulls things together, scrapping their way through games and finding themselves earning everything and being handed nothing. This week will be more of the same, and the Ballers most certainly have their work cut out for them. The Desperadoes lose Ollie Honderd, but gain back Ryan Purcell, who had been out of town. The Ballers will hope to have a fuller roster to give them more legs, a decisive element late in the game. If the Desperadoes are able to keep focused, this game could be ugly, but with the Ballers' heart and scrappy nature, it could be the perfect antidote to the Desperadoes' bite, and we could see an upset.

This week's games begin at 9pm again, the first to be played under the lights. All are encouraged to come to ABC for a pre-game meal, and a post-game beer afterwards.
