Sea Eagles Cherry Ripe as second half swoop downs Eels
4 hours ago | Sam Bourke
Results from Round 11 of New Zealand's Bartercard Cup have been finalised following the Monday night action in a soggy Wellington.
The Lions cemented their spot on top of the table with an impressive win over the Falcons. The four point gap on the competition ladder between the Lions and second placed Bulls was helped in part by the Bulls defeated at home by the Harbour League side after Canterbury gave away a decent halftime lead to the visitors.
Other teams to take the 2 points were Waicoa Bay Stallions, Watakere and the Jetz, who now have won their last four games.
Harbour League and Waitakere Rangers with the results over the weekend now are both just one point shy of three teams in the Top 5. Every round counts as we head into the back half of the competition.
