Tiwi Bombers - bouncing back

The men have long qualified due to lack of competition, and sit near-drawn second. They lost 57-104 to the 13-1 SD men sitting in first.

However, I’m gonna say they lost because they only played one Cunningham.

Women crushed 23-88 by PINT (who are 14-1 on top of the ladder).

But it was still the closest game of the week… Wanderers the standout with 0-114!

At this time no bests have been nominated for us, but Jelena Tipungwuti kicked two goals and Freda one.

Bye next week, will finish fifth.

Men evened it out with an all-time 56-45 win after a crazy last quarter.

PINT kicked the first four goals of the final quarter to have us 26-45… and then Tiwi went BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG with 5:53, 5:07, 1:13, 0:40, and 0:07 remaining!

Men likely to finish fourth, as St Marys have to face top-placed Southern Districts in the final round.

Interesting situation in the NTFL Men’s Premier League. Nightcliff has been found to be in breach of the FIFO player rules. They currently sit 2nd on the ladder, Tiwi Bombers sit third (4 points behind).

How would the NTFL not know the fly-in bit beforehand (or at least after any late changes were made)?

Bad press release; yes, we are now ahead of them but per the lack of comment I assume St Mary’s don’t get the four points from their loss and therefore pass us.

Nightcliff have successfully appealed the decision.

Takes 5+ weeks to identify a problem, one day to dismiss it…
