Lions vs Mavs @ Siberia North playing in the Pariah Cup

Women: So far this season beating the Mavs has been as easy as taking pennies off the eyes of a dead man, but they won’t be as easy to beatty tonight. The much improved Lionesses have been putting up strong performances and they expect to hunt well tonight. Mavs with already one hand on this year’s wooden spoon will snatch it with another loss tonight. Beatty has added a dimension to a team who has improved last round, but the Lionessess have improved more.

Men: Brad Hill’s tiger hunters move from the Mt Barker jungle to the dry, dusty plains of Gawler on a lion hunt. If the Mavs have a weakness, it’s their defence, or lack of it - they're all attack. The Lions are probably well placed to expose that tonight with their youthful guard heavy team who need to run the ball hard if they want any chance of a win. “Tally-ho!” old boy, the tenth NBL team to skin the Lions tonight and sip their G&T’s
