The January round of league games at the Game Time Central Venue League (CVL) took place this week with The Losers in the junior league extending their lead to 8 points at the top of the table after winning all 4 games. 13 year old Marshall Patterson and 12 year old Alan Slasor in particular were in good form.

Lions Lose Composure!
The Lions first of all lost Daniel Wright to an injured hand and then lost their heads as they suffered their worst record in the CVL winning only 1 game from 5. In the latter stages of the CVL the Lions all but gave in which is never a good thing and not characteristic of the heart usually on display.

The All Star Tigers meanwhile capitalised on their opponents misfortune and coupled with their full compliment of players managed to win 3 of 5 games to increase their points haul, although they still sit at the foot of the table, 3 points behind the Champs and 4 points behind the Lions.

The Losers are still the force to be reckoned with as they yet again dominated the league with 4 wins and no losses and are a massive 13 points clear at the top. Marshall Patterson produced a powerful display in the first game to set the tone with 10 of his sides 16 points in the 16-12 win over Tigers.

Nathan Duff was awarded the MVP of the January round and top scored with 46 points. Philip Findlay still leads the top scorers with a massive 122 points but is now tied with Patrick O'Connor.

Dodgers Lose Pace
In the female league, only the Yummy Mummy's were fully represented with the other teams missing players. The Yummy Mummy's produced their best round so far as they hit 28 points, there previous best haul being 16 last month.

In the final game against the Jordettes, the Yummy Mummy's came close to causing an upset as they only lost 10-12. Helen Brown was in good form with 12 points although the leading scorer for the third month in a row was Stephanie Edwards who is sitting pretty at the top of the leader board with 104 points, 44 ahead of Katie Dodgson.

Edwards good scoring was not enough to secure victory as they slumped to 2 defeats and only 1 win. These results mean that the Dodgers drop into third place after leading the league for three months. The Dragons and Jordettes are both level on 22 points although a shoot out needs to determine the outcome of the draw when the teams met each other.
