Black Knights held on to beat Green Wave 20:17 on Saturday in the regular season opener for both sides. The result ended a two-game losing streak for the hosts after they had dropped their opening fixtures to Bulldogs and Bulls. Green Wave saw their winning run against Golden Eagles come to an end with a narrow defeat away from home.
The home side had shown vulnerability in their previous outings, losing 29:31 to Bulldogs and 24:28 to Bulls before bouncing back with a dominant 59:3 victory. Green Wave came into this fixture with mixed fortunes — a convincing 24:21 win over the Eagles followed by a 20:31 defeat to the Wildcats.
Both teams had established patterns in their recent form. Black Knights won two of four while Green Wave matched that record. The three-point margin suggests neither side pulled away decisively, and the result keeps both sides in the hunt for early momentum in the standings.
