New Weddington Warriors Power Through to Knockout Round in BBL Cricket League but Stumble in AFL Women’s Round 1

31/1/2021

0 Comments

 
After a rocky mid-season, the Warriors BBL Cricket team have had a great late run in their inaugural season, with a convincing win in the Eliminator round to reach the Knockout round. New Weddington Sports are working on strategy for this penultimate game (tonight) with a win promising a guaranteed placed in the FINALS, where the two top teams will play for the League trophy.

In the absence of a Women’s AFL Virtual League comp the New Weddington Warriors AFLW have pressed on and are competing in “Carla’s Comp” online tipping league; where teams simply score points each round through predicting winners and losers each week.

So far it’s 2 out of 4 for the Warriors with 3 more games to go today in Round 1. But it’s early days and we remain hopeful of moving up the ladder in coming weeks.

​Keep posted for all the excitement – and don’t forget the Men’s AFL Virtual Comp will feature a full fantasy format, commencing March 18th.

"New Weddington Warriors" Cricket Team surge into Twenty20 Finals

27/1/2021

Following a mid-season dip in fortunes, the New Weddington Isles' "Warriors" Big Bash League 20/20 Cricket Team has made a late surge to book a place in the FINALS round at the tail end of the season. 

Lord Watitune, Lord of the Manor of the New Weddington Isles, said of the achievement: "As a micronation, The New Weddington Isles encompasses all of the key functions of government - from Constitutional and Legal matters, Citizenship, Finance, Foreign Affairs and Diplomacy and, of course, pursuit of our land claims to the former Royal Company Islands in the Indian Ocean.

"However, we believe that a nation's culture is equally important in defining a country - and that is why we also maintain a robust presence in the Arts, Culture and Sports sectors. In sports we now have viable teams in several 'virtual' leagues in the arenas of Cricket (the Twenty20 Australian Big Bash League), the English Premier Soccer League and the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) league, featuring the men's and women's teams.

"In our inaugural season, and amid the upheaval of the coronavirus, I am delighted to announce that the New Weddington Warriors BBL Cricket team have successfully negotiated the 13 head to head rounds and have reached the Knockout stage - just 2 games away from the FINAL. We wish all the best to our cricking Warriors and congratulate them on reaching this stage - a success in itself."


The Warriors now have a much needed break before the Knockout round on 29th January, and you can check back here for all the latest updates.

Meantime, the Isles' Department of Arts, Culture & Sports is keeping busy with the start of a Covid-restructured AFL Women's league for 2021 commencing tomorrow 28th... head on over to our AFL Sports News page for details.

After a run of narrow defeats, the Warriors have made a late play for a coveted top 4 spot that will guarantee a place in the Finals play off - rounds 12 and 13 are the final two before all hell breaks loose in KFC SuperCoach for the BBL finals series. It’s unlimited trades for the major round.

Having won the past two rounds  - with the last round coming down to the final over of the last game - against "No Run" league leaders, the Warriors need a win this weekend to sneak into the playoffs...and with a projected  score of 885 vs 574 against bottom placed "God squad" things are looking good. Though let's face it - anything can happen in a game of cricket!!

Having started their inaugural BBL 20/20 Cricket season with 5 straight wins, recent losses against form have seen the Warriors slip down to 4th in the league over the past week.

However, there are plenty more matches to be played over the next few Rounds, in a Covid hit season, over the coming month - as well qualifying and knockout rounds before the Final on 6th February. 

The New Weddington Warriors fully intend to be in the Finals and with a nail-biting Round 7 seeing the NWW trailing the Sixers2020 by a mere 530 to 547, a comeback is looking a real possibility...
