Even the most devout Magpie fan would admit that Putney’s season hasn’t got off to the start they were hoping for – going down to the Hawks and Wildcats. But their fortunes turned around when they snared a three point win from the London Swans to record their first win for the season. The result puts them back with the rest of the field to challenge for higher honours later in the season.

Such morale boosting wins can sometimes be the catalyst for great positive change, and Magpie supporters would be feeling that positivism right now.

In other results, the Wandsworth Demons kept their perfect season start intact with a solid 39 point victory over last year’s premiers, the North London Lions. The win keeps them on top of the ladder as the only undefeated team after three rounds.

The West London Wildcats, stung after their first round loss to the Demons, powered to another big win. After mauling the Magpies last weekend, the Wildcats clobbered the Wimbledon Hawks by 98 points.

The Women’s League saw wins for the Demons over the Lions and the Hawks over the South east London Giants. The Giants and the Clapham demons took the spoils in the Conference Division whilst results in the Social Division saw wins to South London demons, Ealing Emus and the Putney Magpies.
