Krawk Island's games were delayed, as the referee sent a search party out to find their opponents. The Kreludor team usually arrived early for each day's games, and there was concern that Jhudora or The Darkest Faerie may have resumed their sabotaging of the Altador Cup. Thankfully, it wasn't long before the Kreludor team were discovered, partying the day away in celebration of the 4th of July. Unfortunately, they had spent far too much time eating and drinking, so they were no match for Krawk Island, who effortlessly got a clean sweep in all three games, cementing their position at the top of the table.


Second place Roo Island faced the darkness of the Citadel, and had a surprising loss in Slushie Slinger. Roo team captain Lilo Blumario insisted that their loss was not due to his team's ability, but simply due to the fact that Darigan Citadel were the better team for that particular game. As the Darigans were recovering from the shock of such a friendly comment from the opposition, they were unable to hold back the Islanders in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. Maybe the friendly comment was really a distraction plan after all.


The Lost Desert team seemed to lose their way during the games, even scoring some Yooyuball goals in their own net. The team were taken to the Neopian Hospital as a precautionary measure, but there seemed to be no reason for their confusion. Shenkuu made the most of the Lost Desert's disorientation, forcing them into a draw in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger, and proving they still have the loudest cheers, by winning the Make Some Noise game.


Mystery Island managed another clean sweep against the Virtupets side, giving them the fourth place table position. Since the space station loud speakers were confiscated yesterday, Virtupets have been practising their cheering, but they still didn't have the volume required to beat the MI team.



Altador have continued with their string of poor luck this year, as Meridell had a clean sweep against them. The home team's hopes of placing higher than the 13th place they achieved last year stand to be dashed, as Faerieland are determined to not finish in last place.



Faerieland couldn't break through the Haunted Woods Yooyuball defence, and their crushing defeat left them demoralised, and barely able to raise a single cheer for the Make Some Noise. The Faerieland team tried their hardest in Slushie Slinger, but just didn't have the speed and aim of the Haunted Woods team, who were serving so fast, the referee had a hard time trying to keep count.


Maraqua faced Tyrannia in an exciting set of games, as they battle it out for the mid-table position. The Maraquans almost matched their scores from the last time they played Tyrannia, winning the Yooyuball, with Tyrannia triumphing in the slinging of the slushies. This Make Some Noise match, however, was won by Tyrannia who have obviously been practising, earning them their 8th Make Some Noise win.


Terror Mountain had a well-needed clean sweep over Brightvale, proving they have what it takes to get to the top, if only they could be consistent with their goal scoring. TM team captain Prytariel, denied rumours that the team have been practising all night, but expressed his delight at the team's clean sweep. However, Terror Mountain fans are hoping that the team won't overdo the celebrations tonight.
