The regular season of the RGBL picked up momentum with two more games played over the weekend. The playoffs are not far away, where teams will compete for the top prize worth £500! But until that happens we still have the most important battles ahead which will decide the pairs of the playoffs.

The weekend started with the game between Peterborough “Tauras” and King’s Lynn “Wolfs”. When these two teams met on the court two months ago, there was not much intrigue, but this time “Tauras” had some players missing and “Wolfs” have been improving with each game, so the game was expected to be more rival. The first quarter wasn’t about scoring, the teams often exchanged turnovers and missed shots, but Peterborough representatives gained a fragile advantage of 5 points. In the second quarter thanks to 3 point shots “Tauras” team extended their lead and the result was 38:23 before the long break. The situation on the court did not change too much in the second half of the game, the teams exchanged effective attacks and after slightly increasing their lead, “Tauras” celebrated the victory with the final score of 84:62.

The top scorers for “Tauras”: T. Myrovas 24 pts, A. Dovydas 14 pts and A. Račickas 13 pts”Wolfs”: D. Narkevič 18 pts and L. Petraška 17 pts.

The second game of the weekend between Ipswich “Meru” and South Lincs “Dragons” promised plenty of action, with both teams doing well in other leagues this season and losing very rarely. The “Meru” team celebrated in the Suffolk Cup final just a couple of weeks ago, and the “Dragons” have yet to experience the bitterness of defeat in the Cambridge League, where they won all 14 games they played. However, the trend that “Meru” has shown throughout the season by delegating only 6-7 players to the game has not changed this time either. Six players of the Ipswich team had enough strength to fight the “Dragons” for just two quarters, after which the score was still tied at 33:33. In the second half of the game, the “Dragons” switched to a higher gear, attacked more accurately and made less turnovers, this increased their lead with every minute and they celebrated the victory with the result of 76:58.

D. Jakštaitis with 21 scored points was the top scorer for “Dragons”, D. Višinskis and P. Adomaitis scored 16 and 15 points respectively.E. Kriūnas scored 17 points for “Meru”.
