Rockhampton Cyclones V Bundaberg Bears - Women’s Preview - Friday 13 July

Posted by RBI on 12 Jul 2007 11:58 am. Filed under General.
Hegvold Stadium, Rockhampton. 6:15pm

The Cyclones have collected gold in their last five starts with this game looking like the team will move to six.  They were too much for the Power last week (94-51) and will be out to get a serious couple of games under their belt in preparation for a quarter final showdown with Mackay.  Este-Shehu really starting to shine, as this team achieves a level that they probably should of last year.  The Bears see two of the top teams in a row, after going down to the Flames last week (57-101) and now facing the Cyclones.  They are currently holding off the wooden spoon by only a single win.

Rockhampton Rockets V Bundaberg Bulls - Men’s Preview - Friday 13 July

Posted by RBI on 12 Jul 2007 11:57 am. Filed under General.
Hegvold Stadium, Rockhampton. 8:00pm

The Rockets currently hold the top spot on the ladder having played one more game than the Marlins and won’t be in a rush to hand over this position in Round 13.  The team could not miss against the Power last week with Thompson the stand-out with 47pts in 33 minutes with a flawless 19 of 19 from the line.  The Bulls will be no easy beats here, with tough oppositions in Maroochy, Gold Coast and South West in upcoming rounds.  Bundy weren’t able to match the Heat last week (93-123) but Oriard and Meyerding continue to not let their season slip away, with the team still finals worthy, but a long shot.  The Rockets starting to ramp up towards finals so this will be a no holes barred effort.
