Mid-way through the second round of competition the Premier A and B sides are having their ups and downs in terms of results on the court. The A team started off the month of June with a draw against St Nicholas A 55 all that was followed by a narrow loss to Technical A 41 - 46. They regrouped to beat Saints by nine, 55 - 46 but succumbed to the impressive Kereru A team on Tuesday 27 June 45 – 57 to have them sitting in third place on the table. The final match of the round will be against 6th placed Halswell on Tuesday 4th July at the Bishopdale YMCA at 6:30pm.

LU Premier B side have had a disruptive season with many players filling in for the Premier A during the first round resulting in a lack of team unity and cohesion. Their first match had them narrowly losing to Kereru C 43 – 46 followed by a losses to St Margaret’s A 49 – 60, Kereru B 44 – 62 and St Nicholas B 39 – 60 on Tuesday evening. They will play second placed Kai Toa A on the 4th of July at the Bishopdale YMCA at 8:05pm. They will have to also play a promotion relegation match on Sunday 9 July against the top placed finisher of the Saturday Senior 1 competition.

The consistency of the LU C team, who play in the 2nd Division A Section 1 grade, has been on show as they continue to record strong wins against good oppositions. At the start of the competition round on the 10th of June they picked up a 40 – 16 win over Marist/Albion followed by a 26 – 11 win of CFC A. Saturday’s match against ChCh Girls High B was a much closer encounter with the team only managing to take control of the game in the final quarter. The 31 – 27 win places them top of the table with two games to go, until the championship round, against Avonside Girls High A this Saturday followed by Suburbs on the 8th of July.
