Mayhem put the frighteners on at Halloween Bowl

29th October 2006

Mildenhall Mayhem defeated the host team, Team Voodoo, in a closely fought, exciting Halloween Bowl under the lights in Tidworth last week.

In a superbly well run tournament, ten sides competed in two groups of five with Team Voodoo running the table in Group A with four wins from four, followed in second place by Team Voodon’t, and the third qualifying position taken by the North Devon Dogs.

In Group B, the newboys the Mildenhall Mayhem put some serious points on the board – 50 vs Chichester Sharks and 36 on Chatham Sharks as they went 4-0 in their group. London Liberty came second in their group, followed by the Leicester Eagles. All teams had some real tuscles with each other and the Chichester Sharks narrowly missed out in fourth place.

Onto the playoffs, and Team Voodon’t turned over Leicester Eagles 6-0, and London Liberty edged North Devon by the same scoreline to qualify for the semi-finals where they were joined by the group winners.

Team Voodoo played the other side from their club, Team Voodon’t and triumphed 18-7, and in the other semi-final Mayhem defeated Liberty 21-6 in the battle of american sides.

The final, played under floodlights, saw Mayhem win in a real nip and tuck game 14-6 against Team Voodoo, which saw them win a tournament at their first attempt.

A total of £30 was also raised for the host team’s (Team Voodoo) charity Naomi House which is a Childrens Hospice offering respite care to children with terminal illnesses.
