We’re at the half way mark for the regular season of the Hanoi League and things are heating up!
Read on for the latest…
GAME 1 – Cau Giay Crabs v Long Bien Langurs
The early game saw the undefeated and early season favorites the Langurs take on the aging Crabs. In what was a tight affair, the Crabs game plan was simple from the outset: stop the delivery and scoring power of the Langur girls and they will have a good chance for the victory.
The 3rd quarter was where the game was decided, with the Crabs kicking 3 goals to 1 and moving out to a 3 goal lead. They were able to hold onto this lead, despite a spirited comeback in the last quarter to run out 9 point winners.
| Cau Giay Crabs | 8 (1) . 4 (58) | J. Worland 4, J. Bullard 2, A. Callanan, J. Schmitz 1 (1) |

GAME 2 – Hoan Kiem Herons v Ba Dinh Buffalos
In the second game of the day, the Herons were keen to turn around the previous 2 years of form against the Buffalos and claim their maiden victory over this outfit. With many Buffalos unavailable, the Buffalos relied on some handy fill ins from the early game. The Herons got the early jump on the Buffalos and by 3 qtr time they had a handy 53 point lead.
The last quarter saw the Buffalos come home strong and outscore the Herons by 5 goals, unfortunately it was too little too late, with the Herons winning by 24 points.
