Division One Super Youth League Round 21 Review

Club Championship
Let?s start with some housekeeping duties by providing you with some information on the missing results from last week. You may remember that Northbridge played their Round 20 matches against Hurstville City Minotaurs during the past week and the outcome was that the clubs shared the spoils at seven points each. That was very different to the first round results when the Minotaurs had taken twelve of the points. 
Now we can have a look at what happened this week. Mt Druitt Town Rangers have held onto the top spot on this table even though they could take only six points from their clash with twelfth placed Inter Lions. When they met in the first round the Rangers bagged all fifteen points from the day.
Gladesville Ryde Magic remained in second position after they shared the spoils at seven points each with fifth placed Camden Tigers after Magic had taken nine points from the first round encounter.
Third placed Hakoah had bagged ten points from their first round matches against Balmain East Tigers but on this occasion the eastern suburbs outfit had to settle for eight points from the day.
St George are placed fourth after they grabbed ten points from their meeting with tenth placed Springwood United. Interestingly, the mountain men had earned nine of the first round points.
Sixth placed Stanmore Hawks pocketed eight points when they faced eighth placed Hills Brumbies and that was only one point less than the Hawks had taken from the first round clash.
Hurstville City Minotaurs remained at seventh after they added thirteen points to their tally from their matches against thirteenth placed Nepean and that was a bit different to the first round outcome when the clubs had gone home with six points each.
Southern NSW are ninth following their matches against fourteenth placed Northbridge when the clubs split the points at six apiece. When they met in the first round Southern had earned eight points from the matches.
