Krawk Island have a tentative grip on their first place position, following their games against Tyrannia. The Islanders stormed through to win in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise, but they weren't able to match the Tyrannian team's serving skills. "Dasher" Soley, KI team captain, later stated his team don't believe in serving unruly fans, and that they will be petitioning the Altador Cup committee to remove the game of Slushie Slinger from the tournament next year.



Roo Island are still on top form, with their clean sweep against 11th place Maraqua. The Roos have the stamina to stay in the top four, but will they be able to beat the KI team and get to the top of the table?


The Lost Desert cemented their third place in the table with a clean sweep in all three games against Virtupets. Goltron Mk I, the Virtupets goalkeeper, was taken back to the space station for emergency repairs, following reports of a technical malfunction, although he is expected to return at full fitness today.



The cold might of Terror Mountain faced the steely determination of Kreludor in an exciting set of matches. Unfortunately, Terror Mountain lost all three games and were unable to move from 13th place in the table. Kreludor, on the other hand, look set to be in the finals, providing they can stay at fourth or higher in the table.


Mystery Island faced the might of Meridell, and displayed a combination of fancy footwork and perfect strategy to win their 9th Yooyuball game. They did spend too long perfecting their Yooyuball technique, and not enough time practising their slushie slinging, as Meridell shone through in both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Volgoth, the Mystery Island team captain, was seen buying up Mystery Island Flags to try and encourage the crowd to cheer louder, although maybe he would have been better off using Mystery Island Team Megaphones.


In another exciting set of matches, Darigan Citadel played 6th place Haunted Woods. Last year's winners had a shaky start to the games this year, but have regained their form, winning their 8th Yooyuball game, along with their 9th Make Some Noise match. They couldn't quite beat the might of the Haunted Woods in Slushie Slinger though, with both teams serving an equal number of thirsty fans. Neither team had time to serve a slushie to the referee, so the second half of the game was delayed while the ref made his own slushies.


The "secret plan" of Altador's goalkeeper, Salayne Ritad, didn't quite go to plan, as their opponents Shenkuu had another clean sweep across all three games. The referee had confiscated two giant-sized Altador Team Hands and a Supersize! potion from an un-named Altador team member before the games, but Ritad refused to confirm if that was part of his secret plan, or not.


Brightvale faced the pink and purple force of Faerieland, and were expecting an easy win across the three games. Brightvale proved their strength in Slushie Slinger and had the loudest cheers for Make Some Noise, but there was a strange occurence in the Yooyuball game. Halfway through the Yooyuball match, there was a sudden flash of light, as The Darkest Faerie suddenly appeared in the colosseum.

The recent addition to the Brightvale team, goalkeeper Erli Quinnock, immediately came down with Blurred Vision, resulting in him being unable to stop the Yooyu from entering his goal. Jhudora had a strange grin yesterday evening, prompting rumours that she'd had something to do with the sudden illness. We did try to interview the Faerieland team, but they were too busy celebrating to have time to talk.


So with those wins, the new table (including Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise games) looks like this:

1st Krawk Island
2nd Roo Island
3rd Lost Desert
4th Kreludor
5th Mystery Island
6th Haunted Woods
7th Meridell
8th Shenkuu
9th Darigan Citadel
10th Tyrannia
11th Maraqua
12th Virtupets
13th Terror Mountain
14th Brightvale
15th Altador
16th Faerieland
