EIS Lovers Season VIII Matchday 3

New Injury Report

Every season has a casualty and after 3 matches, the curse comes back again. It was an irony as the victim and the injured person is in a similar fashion as that of season VII. Michael (Bulldozers) got injured as he fell after a lay-up on Sumitr (Champs) and dislocated his old knee injury. The extent of the injury is unknown, but as experts view, he might make be able to make it on the play-off time.

Matchday Report

For once in EIS Lovers history, 29 players appeared at court. It's a league history best and even though each team had to increase it's team members, it's such a joy to see almost everyone getting an equal chance to show-off their skills on court.

The trading between Mark (Gigantos) and Eddie (Champs) had materialized and though both team line-up looks better on paper, it seems the results shows they both need further time to gel.

Here are the match results:

Match 1 : Clutchers (22) 46 : 31 (9) Gigantos
Clutchers: Tor+ 15 pts., Wolfgang 12 pts.
Gigantos: Vikram 11 pts., Jolly 8 pts.

With Gigantos on a recruiting festival with new acquisitions of Eddie, Pete, Abishek, and Jolly, in was not enough to stop the rot. Gigantos failed to find their personal rhythm as too many players are still lacking match fitness. Clutchers continue to hit shots around the court as usual and for the first half of the season, swept all teams across.

Match 2 : Bulldozers (39) 59 : 27 (11) Champs
Bulldozers: Dev 22 pts., Dennis 14 pts.
Champs: Robin 8 pts., Uday 7 pts.

As the disappointment of the last shot lost on game 1, Bulldozers were a different story in game 2 and 3 as the partnership between Double-D (Dennis and Dev) continuous swept the opponent team into disarray. Champs have a history starting the 1st half badly, and this streak continued as Bulldozers completely bulldozed the champs down to ground.


The first half of the season ends and results don't lie. How will the second half of the season turn out? Will Clutchers still go strong, Bulldozers able to change the tie, Gigantos finally coming big, or the Champs finally fulfilling the team's name big promise? Stay tuned either on courtside or newsletter for the latest updates. Read on previous comments on http://eislovers.blogspot.com
