Week two has been a huge for teams moving around the ladder.

The defending champions Dolphins have continued its perfect start to the State League season with a pair of big wins over the weekend.

After finishing week one in fourth, Thurabredz – Tahi have risen to second while Mounties moved up from fifth to third and Tropics have flown into the top four. Tropics had two losses last week and bounced back with a 6-5 win over Mounties and a crushing 20-4 win over Demons.

Titans dropped to fifth and United to sixth but both had difficult assignments against the Dolphins and Thurabredz – Tahi. Demons claimed its first win of the season with a 16-9 win over Thurabredz – Rua but fell to sixth after conceding 29 runs. However, the gap between third and seventh is just one point.

Thurabredz – Rua will be chasing its first win of the competition next weekend.
