Maraqua just didn't have the stamina to beat the Krawk Island team in any of the games, losing all three in a spectacular fashion. Currently 11th in the table, the Maraquan team were immediately disadvantaged at the start of the games, when an ominous looking Red Pteri flew overhead, squawking "I hope you didn't want to actually do anything on the site today" *BRAAWWKK*. The Maraquans were un-nerved by this sudden appearance, and were unable to regain their concentration for any of the games.


Roo Island faced the super-charged Shenkuu team, in what proved to be a riveting battle down to the last seconds in each game. The Roos could only manage to hold Shenkuu to a draw in Yooyuball, but the Islanders had the slushie slinging down to a fine art, only dropping a couple of full slushies plus one empty cup. Shenkuu proved they have the loudest cheers though, as the RI team were mopping up the spilt slushies and missed the start of the Make Some Noise game.



The Haunted Woods team suffered another humiliating defeat, as the Lost Desert had a clean sweep in all three games. The LD team are holding onto their 3rd place position, and team captain Leera Heggle has stated they will do whatever it takes to be in the finals this year.



Brightvale are continuing their string of bad luck, as Mystery Island attained an expected clean sweep in all three games. New goalkeeper Erli Quinnock, has been blamed for letting too many goals into the net, but his form has been improving: all the Brightvale team need now, is to be able to improve on their own goal scoring ability, and they might stand a chance of winning a few games.


The battle for 5th place continued with Kreludor facing the mighty Meridell in an exciting fast-paced set of games. The Kreludor team seem to be running out of energy, with their previous winning streak coming to a dramatic end over the last few games. Meridell proved they were a force to be reckoned with, as the Kreludans could only hold them to a draw in each game. The Kreludor team blamed the closure of Grundo's Gym on their lack of stamina and energy, promising their fans to do their best to regain their fitness.


Last year's winners, Darigan Citadel, had another clean sweep against Terror Mountain, after the TM team came down with a bad case of Sneezles. The cup this year has been plagued with illness across various teams, leading to rumours that The Darkest Faerie and Jhudora are still plotting a shock win for Faerieland. The Scorchio Referee later commented that they would bring in extra medicinal cures as a precautionary measure, in the hope that these illnesses wouldn't impact on the games too much.



Virtupets are still suffering from the loss of team coach Dr Sloth, as they suffered another defeat in all three games. Tyrannia were exceptionally pleased with their winning performance, hoping to challenge the Darigan Citadel for 9th place in the table before the end of the tournament.



Altador have finally achieved a move up the table, now residing in 14th place, following their Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise wins over 16th place Faerieland. The Faerieland team shocked the crowd, as they displayed an exceptional burst of speed and skill in the Yooyuball, to earn their second win. Jhudora was later seen partying the night away in celebration, so it would seem unlikely that she would be attempting any sabotage of the games tomorrow.
