New date for the Dackarna v Masarna match rained off yesterday is Wednesday August 21st- which gives Dackarna 2 home matches in 2 days as they are home to Kumla Indianerna the following evening.

If Piraterna lose at Rospiggarna tomorrow the top 6 look sorted with Piraterna, Masarna and Rospiggarna missing out on the play-offs.

Decent away win for Lejonen in Eskilstuna- 3413 watching. Match of 2 halves, 1st half dire but livened up in 2nd. No one really stood out for Smederna- all had their moments. For the Gislaved team Drabik was superb and KK was on a going evening !!

Kumla Indianerna v Vastervik what a brilliant match- 2875 were there. 1st match in Vastervik was a 45 all draw and tonight Kumla were 2 down going into heat 15. A superb 5-1 from Woffy and Pepe sealed all 3 points on offer. Woffy was brilliant all night along with Chris Holder. Vastervik battled hard and were probably unlucky to come away with nothing. Kildemand was poor once again-His career looks as if it`s going one way quickly !!

Just Watched Rospiggarna v Vetlanda and i don`t think i have ever seen the Hallstavik track as rough as it was tonight. Nasty crash in heat 11 involving Kurtz and Kubera solely down to track conditions. 1420 were there. Batchelor didn`t want to know !!!
