On the weekend we had the second match of the 2018 ACTEBA State of Origin Series. Heading into round 2 the Southern Guns had the series lead after a comfortable 87-73 win in match 1.
The day started with what seemed like a day that would follow recent formula – The 5th, 4th, and 3rd division Potters would set up a lead and it would be the task of the 1st and 2nd div Guns to overcome it. The day changed course when there were some good fight backs – especially the Div 4 Guns who were down 11-5 at half way to bring it back to 16-16.
Leading into the 1st and 2nd division timeslot the Potters were up by 10 frames, a lead that by previous form of the Guns top tier would be touch-and-go. Both 1st and 2nd division slugged out tight matches, with the Guns taking a 17-15 win in both divisions meaning the Potters held on to come out winners of the match 83-77.
The 2018 series is now tied at 1-1, with the final match to be played on 13th October 2018 – full details to come.
ACTEBA would like to thank the Harmonie German Club for donating venue and On Cue for donating table time throughout the event. Both are long-term supporters of ACTEBA and great days like the State of Origin are made possible by their contributions.
