Four games were played in the National League North standings last Sunday. The MENWITH HILL PATRIOTS swept the previously unbeaten TROJANS (by scores of 7-4 and 19-5) to draw within half a game of the second-placed LIVERPOOL team. The MANCHESTER EAGLES sit at the top of the table, a game ahead of LIVERPOOL, thanks to two victories over the HALTON JAGUARS (10-0 and 14-13).
This Sunday, the TROJANS travel to MANCHESTER for a double-header against the EAGLES, while the PATRIOTS host the SHEFFIELD BLADERUNNERS in a single game.
There were no games scheduled for the National League South, but competition resumes this Sunday with the CROYDON PIRATES hosting the RICHMOND FLAMES at Roundshaw and the BRACKNELL BLAZERS travelling to Finsbury Park to take on the league-leading LONDON METS.
