Bucks off to a flier with RoMar in full beast mode. With Libba on the sidelines, this will be a tough ask for the Noahs.
The Glow-Worms @James84 have notched up their 19th consecutive win by thumping the 29ers with unofficial scores suggesting a margin greater than 400 but (thankfully) outside the cut-off for the top 10 ORFFF highest margins.
The Power defeated the Whales for the first time ever in ORFFF Round 6 while the Bucks recorded their highest ever score and the Glow-Worms streak was extended to 19 straight via another mammoth 1500 plus score. The ladder continues to take shape ahead of Rivalry Round which commences on Friday night.
