Swindon Wildcats have taken over at the top of Division One after recording two thumping wins over the weekend, hitting seven past bottom side Cardiff Fire and another seven past London Raiders to go a point clear at the top. Bracknell Bees also recorded a double win at the weekend to remain in third spot whilst Milton Keynes Thunder are fourth after a win on the road at Streatham. Also Basingstoke Bison netted two wins over the weekend to make it three wins from three on the season, seeing them in fifth spot right now. Down the bottom Cardiff Fire remain the only side side without a point after they lost twice over the weekend and have now lost eight from eight in the league so far. Another team to have a poor weekend were London Raiders who shipped seven in both their games to fall to second bottom having lost two of their three games now. Streatham are also struggling after two losses at the weekend, meaning they have lost four out of five so far this season.

Sunday 8th October

Bracknell Hornets 5-3 Haringey Huskies

Peterborough Phantoms 2 laid down a marker by thrashing fellow top of the table side Haringey Huskies 13-2 in their own backyard, and then the Huskies lost to another top three side Bracknell Bees the next day to make it a poor weekend for the North London outfit. It means a three way tie at the top between those three sides with the top two, Phantoms and Hornets, still with 100% records. Anothe side with an 100% record is the Chelmsford Chieftains who thrashed Invicta at Riverside 11-1, although the game saw five players ejected, four of them in the first period after a huge fight, however that was the only time the visitors got toe to toe with the hosts as they were well beaten. Down the bottom and the Lee Valley Lions have lost all four games after a 13-4 loss at Solent Devils in Gosport, whilst Swindon Wildcats 2 have lost all three games following a 4-3 loss to Invicta on Saturday night, which was Invicta's first win after three losses. Another team who have lost all four games are Slough Jets, who were beaten 7-5 at home by Guildford who for them this was there second win in four starts. Guildford did lose the next day to Basingstoke Buffalo in a close encounter in Surrey.
