#BPL10: Day 2

by Lachlan Williams on November 13, 2019

Day two of BPL10 belonged to Tweed Heads Ospreys as the new club completed the day without a loss to their name.

After dropping their first two matches of the competition, Aaron Teys and the Ospreys look to be a side to be reckoned with after several impressive wins to sit in second spot after eight games.

The Sydney Lions continued their good form from day one, winning three of four matches, with their only loss coming in a match to remember against home-team Brisbane Pirates.

Going to a tiebreak, Aron Sherriff looked to have drawn the winning shot with his second-last bowl, before Alex Marshall followed up with a bowl those in the crowd and watching from home will never forget, to win the match for the Pirates.

The win was much-needed for the home side who have found patchy form mid-way through the competition. Murray Steamers also recorded two wins and two losses on Wednesday, struggling to find consistency.

Adelaide Pioneers had their struggles on day two, winning just one game for the day to take their tally to four wins.

The Melbourne Roys have plenty of work to do to work their way into the finals equation, sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win to their name.

Melbourne Pulse and Perth Suns did battle in the final match of the day, with Perth’s win slotting them into the top four above their opponent, who sit in fifth.

The Suns now have five wins to their name, with the Pulse sitting on four victories.
