Brightvale goalkeeper Erli Quinnock arrived in the early hours of the morning, following his rescue from Krawk Island the previous day. His return spurred the Brightvale fans into a rousing set of cheers, but they were still no match for Shenkuu, who cheered their team to an early lead that Brightvale just couldn't catch up with. Shenkuu's winning form continued through Slushie Slinger, with the thirsty fans being served at lightning speed. Halfway through the Yooyuball match Brightvale had taken the lead, but the Shenkuu team battled it out to the final seconds, giving the super-charged Shenkuu team a satisfying clean sweep.


Terror Mountain suffered an expected defeat against the crazy Krawk Island team, who with three more matches remaining, are clear favourites to lead the teams into the Altador Cup finals this year. The KI team have mellowed slightly in their attitudes to the other team members, inviting the TM team to Krawk Island for a celebration. Wary of what happened to the Brightvale goalkeeper, TM captain Prytariel said the team were honoured to be invited, but that they couldn't afford to miss valuable training time this late in the Cup.


The Roo Island fans were anticipating a clean sweep over Meridell, and were shocked by the Meridell team's agility and skills in Yooyuball. The Meridell goalkeeper Yoris Obbles was hardly required, as the Roos didn't have much opportunity to take the Yooyuball anywhere near their opposition's goal. Smarting from their loss, the RI team had a hurried tactical discussion before the start of Slushie Slinger. Unfortunately for the team, Jair Tollet had misheard her instructions, and started serving to the Meridell fans instead. Due to this confusion, the RI team were only able to hold mighty Meridell to a draw. Tollet did compensate for her mistake, however, by leading the RI fans in a rousing cheer to win their 20th Make Some Noise game.


The battle for third place commenced with the Lost Desert team being greeted by hoards of cheering fans, and the Kreludor team hearing a whispered message that Dr Sloth had been sighted again. The unfortunate timing of this message made the Kreludor team lose concentration in Slushie Slinger, throwing away the slushies, and serving the thirsty fans with empty Slushie cups. The Kreludor fans were also concerned about the apparent sighting of Dr Sloth, and were scared to be seen cheering their team on, resulting in their second loss of the day.

Just before the Yooyuball match, the commentators read an official statement over the tannoy system, confirming that the sighting of Dr Sloth was merely an eager Virtupets fan dressed up in some NC Mall clothing. The Kreludor team were relieved at the news, and went on to score an impressive number of goals against the LD team, not quite managing to beat their score, but holding the LD team to a well-earned draw.


Tyrannia fought valiantly against Mystery Island, in the hope of the Tyrannian team winning all three games. They started off in fine fashion, with Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise wins, but on entering the Yooyuball game, the Tyrannian forwards' attention was taken by a series of banners in the crowd. As they struggled to read the good luck messages, the MI team had scored multiple goals, giving them a lead the Tyrannians just couldn't remove. Tyrannian captain Loryche later said she wasn't disappointed by the result, as winning two games out of three is a fantastic achievement.


Last years winners were up against the home team, in another easy clean sweep. To Altador, the term "clean sweep" seems to refer more to the Yurble janitor rather than their Altador Cup skills. Maybe a change of players next year will improve their chances of success.


Virtupets, complete with fans in Dr Sloth costumes, were hoping for at least one win against Haunted Woods, as both teams tried to out-scare the opposition. Haunted Woods took an early lead with a win in Slushie Slinger, entering the Yooyuball game with high spirits. The Virtupets team started off well, with a few goals, but their goalkeeper just couldn't prevent the Yooyuballs from entering the goal mouth, leading to another win for the Haunted Woods. As the Make Some Noise contest began, it was clear from outside the colosseum which team was the loudest, as the phrase "Haunted Woods are the best" echoed around the corners of Altador.


Faerieland seem content with their last place position, happy in the knowledge that they have won three Yooyuball games. For Maraqua it was an easy win, and an ideal place to practise their new tactics for tomorrow's game against Altador.






With only three days worth of games remaining before the finals, Krawk Island, Roo Island, and the Lost Desert are favourites to be playing in the finals, with outsiders Kreludor still the favourites for fourth place. Only time will tell which teams will make it through.
