Premier division is still clustered after Sunday with BSP consistent enough to keep its claim on the prize healthy with a powerful display against FDL 23 - 8 and Air Niugini needing to really dig deep to hold off a much more composed NSL attack. Though winning 25 - 19 the airliners were not convincing and will have to pick the pace up again to keep their chances certain. NSL on the other hand looked to have resolved their earlier doldrums and were a much stronger side on Sunday, hustling well and forcing Air Niugini to work for their nets. NSL were leading at the break so Air Niugini certainly up'd the anti in the second stanza to win but still something seemed to be missing from the PX attack.
The next few games will tell.
BSP and Air Niugini are now ranked 1 and 2 respectively and are clear of the pack on 31 and 30 points respectively but after them there are four teams on 24 points followed by Westpac on 23 points. Daltron continues to show its disinterest having forfeited its last four game and are looking at relegation at season close.
Fairdeal Liquors for all the effort they gave in round 1 appear a spent force and do not look to be to much of a threat from here on but the contest between Brian Bell, IPA, Westpac and NSL are going tobe excellent encounters over the next few weeks. FDL are still among the above group also with 24 points so they still can't be discounted, however their form of late does leave you wondering.
The Unofficial Ladder looks something like this
BSP 31
Air Niugini 30
FDL 24
Brian Bell 24
NSL 24
IPA 24
WPac 23
Daltron 9Looks like it's going to be an awesome several weeks
In other stories to come we look at other divisions including the Aussie High Commission's new uniforms and perhaps a record score racked up in division 6.........
