Europa Valmar win GABBA League

Europa Valmar beat nearest rivals Lincoln Bayside to maintain their unbeaten record and clinch this season’s League Championship.

Having lost the first round match by 19 points, Lincoln Bayside needed to win this one by 20 and hope that Bavaria Blue Stars would beat Europa Valmar in the last match of the season, to level on points and take the title on the head-to-head. They never got close, as Europa Valmar took the first quarter 25-11. Lincoln Bayside tried hard to stay in the match, but Europa Valmar took the next two quarters 24-18, 19-17 to start the last quarter 22 points ahead (68-46), and they went on to win by 82-64.

HERCULES RESERVES TAKE CHALLENGER LEAGUE

Hercules Reserves made sure of winning the Challenger League, previously known as the Second Division, by beating Lincoln Bayside Reserves in their penultimate match.
Their nearest challengers, Bavaria Blue Stars Reserves, can level on points if they win their last match and Hercules lose theirs, but the latter beat them in their two matches and are, therefore, champions in the event of it going to the head-to-head.

BAVARIA BLUE STARS WIN U14 GIRLS LEAGUE

This League was decided in the last match as the eventual champions and Damex Gators had each lost one match, against each other, and victory went to Stars by 45-32.
