Faerieland suffered an expected defeat in all three games, as Krawk Island continue to display their winning techniques. The Faerieland supporters are a small group, but still have an impressively loud cheer, although it wasn't quite loud enough to beat the Islanders, as they cheered their way to their 19th Make Some Noise victory. The KI team are clearly out in front, but what will happen once we get to the finals?


In another battle of the Islands, the Roos proved they can still serve slushies faster and more accurately than the Mystery Island team, gaining an early lead that the MI team just couldn't catch up with. The referee remembered how loud these two island teams can cheer, and was prepared for the Make Some Noise game, covering his ears with earmuffs before the game started. Both teams gave a rallying performance, but neither had the ability to shout louder than the other, resulting in a draw.
The last game of the day was Yooyuball for which neither team had much energy left. There were some very good attempts at goal from Mystery Island's Teylor Nix, but Nix just couldn't manage to get the Yooyu past the Roo Island goalkeeper, leading to the MI team's 6th Yooyuball draw.


The Lost Desert achieved a well-earned 12th Yooyuball win against 10th place Tyrannia, prompting some of the LD fans to take an early break. Unfortunately, their break coincided with the Make Some Noise game, and the remaining Lost Desert fans just didn't have the volume to beat the terrific Tyrannians, only managing to hold them to a draw. As left forward, Vonde Cayle was sent out to retrieve the Lost Desert fans, the Tyrannians took an early lead in the slinging of the slushies, and by the time the Lost Desert fans returned, the Tyrannians were unbeatable. LD team captain Leera Heggle admitted that the team had failed their fans, but added that they would make up for it in their next games against Mystery Island.


The Haunted Woods team were running low on energy and motivation yesterday, and not even a rousing match of Make Some Noise could instil enough motivation into the team's players. The Make Some Noise match was led by the Haunted Woods fans, although Meridell's cheering soon caught up, resulting in a very exciting game and finally, a draw. The Haunted Woods fans were doing their best to encourage their team, but it wasn't enough, as goalkeeper Fanetti let in multiple goals, leading to the HW team's 8th Yooyuball loss. Meridell are still the third best team when it comes to Slushie Slinger, winning their 15th game and proving they are still among the very best hosts to have serving drinks


Shenkuu faced the crafty Kreludans, and suddenly realised how the Kreludor team had climbed the table so quickly this year. The speed of the Kreludor team in Slushie Slinger was too fast for the fans to follow, as the team dissolved into one big fast-moving blur. Stunned by the Kreludans' turn of speed, the Shenkuu team were unable to cheer at all, resulting another loss for the Shenkuu team. By the start of the Yooyuball match, they had recovered from their Slushie Slinger shock, and Shenkuu were able to hold Kreludor to a draw, narrowly missing their last chance at the goal. Mirsha Grelinek, Shenkuu's team captain, voiced her concern that the Kreludor team were moving too fast to be true, but those concerns were later dismissed by the referee who cited "jealousy and envy" as the reasons for Shenkuu's accusations.


Darigan Citadel set out to improve on their Slushie Slinger loss from the last time they faced the might of Maraqua, and succeeded with a narrow margin over Maraqua and an additional win in Make Some Noise. Unfortunately for the Citadel, Maraqua have been practising with some inflatable Yooyuballs, and held the DC team to their 6th Yooyuball draw.


Altador captain, "Trapper" Remis, called on the home team fans to do their very best at cheering the team on throughout the games, and was amazed to see a sea of orange and yellow Altador Team Pompoms being waved during their matches against Terror Mountain. The home fans cheered their way to victory in Make Some Noise, and were exceptionally thirsty by the time the Slushie Slinger game was due to commence. As a thank you for their cheering efforts, the Altador team served them extra slushies, winning their 6th Slushie Slinger game. After all the energy they used in the first two games, Altador didn't have the strength to win the Yooyuball, but did manage to succeed in holding Terror Mountain to a draw.


Following a string of defeats, Brightvale have proved they won't give up, as they slung as many slushies as they could lay their paws on, to win their 4th Slushie Slinger game. The Virtupets fans were suffering from a severe case of Kikoughela, resulting in a cheer that was barely louder than a whisper, leading to the space station's 18th Make Some Noise loss.
The space station team did have the expertise to win the Yooyuball, leading to rumours that they have been travelling back to the space station each night to practise. Left Defender, Sela Pretore said she didn't have time to comment on these rumours, as she was running late to book the team's space shuttle tickets.
