Weekend Round Up

The results went as predicted and as a consequence we see new leaders of the league albeit by points difference.
However Hammarby do have a game in hand and should they win that, they will leapfrog back to the top, providing that they do not suffer any more losses.

In an exciting match between Exiles and Hammarby there were plenty of tries 6 in all culminating in a 26-22 result. By all reports a good match to watch for the spectators with Exiles managing to hang on for the win after coming from behind, after conceding two tries in the first half and  another early in the second half. Having a reliable kicker obviously helped Exiles cause and it was this that finally made the difference. Hammarby will be disappointed o have run up a convincing lead, only to lose the match, but this setback could also be an inspiration for them. Whilst the Exiles will be starting to become more confident in their hopes to finish at the top of the league.

Goteborg put in a spirited performance against the current champions Enkoping, but it still was not enough to avoid another defeat. With the return of a some old faces the home side managed to score 23 points whilst conceding 41. Whilst the visitors do not appear to be the force of last year, all credit should be given to the home side for not lying down and having the courage to attack the visitors. With this win Enkoping are back on top of the league for the time being, can they stay there? Grf are going to struggle to avoid the ending up in the bottom two.

Pingvin entertained Spartacus in what was a crucial match for both clubs. Having never won at Pingvin's home it was a tough call for the visitors. However they came away with a 9-15 win and thereby put daylight between themselves and the bottom two. In a hard fought contest in very poor conditions Spartacus managed to score two tries and with some outstanding defence stopped the home side from touching down. Although Pingvin crossed the whitewash twice a knock on and a foot in touch came to the assistance of the visitors.

A fair start to the resumption of the Elite series,we look forward to next weekend and some more exciting rugby.
