The Golden Bulls put together a thorough display against the Birs on Friday night, winning 28-0 in the regular-season meeting. The hosts made their intentions clear from the opening whistle and never let up. By then you could see the gulf in form between the two sides.
The Bulls have been in devastating form lately, winning their last three matches by margins of 21, 25 and 24 points respectively. They scored 51 points in back-to-back victories over the Bluefields and looked unstoppable. To be fair, the Birs have been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses without finding a rhythm.
The visitors arrived with mixed results from their recent outings. They beat the Blue Bears 28-27 and the Panthers 34-28, but those victories were followed by two heavy defeats to the Bulldogs, both 34-29. The contrast with the Bulls' dominance was stark. And here's the thing — this wasn't a close game that got lucky.
The 28-point margin tells you everything about how the match unfolded. The hosts went for the jugular and the Birs were left exposed. There were no comebacks, no drama, just one side controlling proceedings from start to finish. The visitors simply had no answer to what was being thrown at them.
For the Bulls this extends a run that looks increasingly impressive. Three straight wins with scores of 51, 51 and 28 — they are finding a way through whatever opposition they face. The Birs, meanwhile, have now lost their last two and their position in the table is touch and go.
