It was another night of partying for the Krawk Island team, as they celebrated another clean sweep over the Haunted Woods team. The islanders have been virtually unstoppable this year, and are favourites to win the cup overall. Year 8 winners Haunted Woods, have been consistent in their placings, hovering around the middle of the table, but they just don't have that spark from two years ago. HW fans have been blaming their goalkeeper for their lack of success, saying that Fanetti's small stature isn't the best choice for a goalkeeper. Fanetti was later claimed to be seen buying up some Supersize! in the hope of blocking a few more goals.


Roo Island were also out celebrating following their clean sweep over Terror Mountain, but team captain Lilo Blumario made sure that the entire team had an early night so they would be ready to prevent an embarrassing loss against Altador tomorrow. The Terror Mountain team have struggled to get wins this year, and even their newest player Elbin Kroe has been unable to raise the team in the table. Kroe admitted the results have not been the mighty mountain's best, but hinted at a secret plan for the next few games.


Mystery Island faced the desperate Desert in three closely fought games. The Lost Desert took an early lead when the MI team's megaphones were spotted near the end of the Make Some Noise contest, resulting in a disqualification for the Islanders and an automatic win for the Lost Desert. The Yooyuball game came next, with both teams valiantly trying to defeat the oppositions goalkeeper. By the end of the match, the teams had an equal goal score and equally exhausted players. Mystery Island just had enough energy remaining to serve one solitary slushie more than the Lost Desert to give the Islanders a well-earned Slushie Slinger win.


Meridell team captain "Wizard" Windelle had been training the Meridell team in preparation for their rematch against Shenkuu. The games went off to a bad start for the land of heroes and legends, as Shenkuu demonstrated why they are in the top four teams for Make Some Noise. "Wizard" Windelle and the Meridell team weren't going to give up quickly though, as they entered the Slushie Slinger game with a determination to win. Unfortunately, the Shenkuu team were just too quick, and Meridell could only hold them to a draw. The Yooyuball game went much the same way with Meridell taking an early lead, but Shenkuu's Foltaggio scored an equalising goal in the last minute. Meridell currently are in fourth place, but they will need all the points they can get to maintain their placing for the finals.


Year 9 winners Darigan Citadel faced the cream of Kreludor, in what was expected to be a clean sweep for the Citadel. After their last games, a set of fans gave the Darigan team a bouquet of flowers to encourage them to keep their team spirit up. Just before the start of the games, a loud sneeze heralded the arrival of the Darigan Citadel team, as the players walked into the colosseum with watery itchy eyes.
The kind gesture by the fans had backfired, when the entire team were diagnosed as suffering from acute Pollenitus. Kreludor took advantage of the Citadel's illness, winning the Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger, while the fans responsible ran to buy the cure. Thankfully for the DC team, the fans returned from the pharmacy just in time for the start of the Yooyuball, and they were able to hold the Kreludans to a draw.


Faerieland seem content with their two Yooyuball wins, preferring to concentrate on their appearances rather than their game playing, as Tyrannia ran rings around them to win all three games. Faerieland captain Kakoni Worrill was warned by the referee, who stated that the team was there to play, not admire themselves in the mirror, leading to rumours of the Faerieland team not being invited back for next year's cup. Worrill reassured the loyal Faerieland fans that there was nothing to worry about, and stated that the team will be doing their best to get at least one more win before the finals.


Altador's luck has been steadily improving, although it is clear they left it too late to stand a chance of getting into the finals. The Altador Team Pompoms were out in force again as the fans went wild to win the Make Some Noise against the sore throats of Virtupets. The space station team were happy to serve slushies to their fans in the hope of regaining their cheering ability for the next match, but Altador took an early lead. Unfortunately, one of the slushie machines suffered a breakdown, and Altador had to rely on just the two machines to serve all their fans, allowing the Virtupets team to catch up for a draw. Stunned by the breakdown, Altador lost concentration in the Yooyuball game, losing by several goals to a jubilant Virtupets team.


The final matches of the day were against Maraqua and Brightvale. The Maraquans were expecting an easy clean sweep, so they had only arrived with half their usual number of fans. This proved to be their downfall in the Make Some Noise game, as Brightvale's legions of fans narrowly missed out on a win, holding the Maraquans to a draw instead. A lack of fan support didn't stop the Maraquan team in Slushie Slinger and Yooyuball though, as the underwater team are still aiming for 10th place in the table.
