All of the games have been hard fought with each team showcasing their offensive and defensive skills. However, as is always the case, only one winner walks away from each match. Some teams pulled ahead early with solid wins, while others were not so fortunate. But whatever the outcome, only one thing is for certain: there’s a long season ahead!
