For the losers, Steven Matthew had 19 points. From the first quarter, Flyers ran away with the game, winning 20 to 9, then won the second quarter 37 to 25 to go into the half time.
They then upped the ante in both their defensive and offensive play sinking 58 points compared to their opponents 20 points in the second half of the match.
They overtook the Northside Stingerz who were awaiting the results of the match to go to the top of the standings with 19 points.
