Night of Thrilling Exchanges
Round 3: The Battle of the 3-2s
The night kicked off with three consecutive matches that went down to the wire. In the headline clash, Crepes A Go Go whipped up just enough momentum to edge I Love Paris 3-2, proving that even the most fashionable opponents can be caught in their crêpe net. ANZ deposited a narrow 3-2 win against Topologic, while Super Standard designed their first victory of the night with a 3-2 triumph over Niwa. Three 3-2 results in one round? That's what we call balanced books!
Round 4: Decisive Victories
The second round saw more definitive results. With the return of their secret weapon Samara, I Love Paris bounced back to map out a commanding 5-0 victory over Topologic. Crepes A Go Go continued their hot streak, cooking up a 5-0 win against Super Standard, while Niwa forecast their own revival with a strong 4-1 victory over ANZ, proving their meteorological models were spot on this time.

Making her first appearance in eight years, she showed that class is permanent with her distinctive pips playing style. Her return adds an exciting new dimension to next week's crucial matches and the upcoming finals - could she be the fashion accessory that I Love Paris needs to claim the title?
