The Greyhounds secured a 34:27 victory over the Setters in their regular-season clash on 19 September 2026. It was a contest that demanded attention, with neither side willing to yield ground easily. And here's the thing, the final margin felt narrower than the performance suggested.
The hosts came into this fixture looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat against the Golden Bears on 3 September. Their previous outing saw them fall 35:56, a result that prompted the coaching staff to consider adjustments. To be fair, the loss to the Bobcats on 12 September 19:24 had already shown they were struggling to find consistency.
The visitors arrived with momentum after a dominant display against the Mustangs, where they scored 59 points in total. That high-scoring affair on 12 September contrasted sharply with their earlier loss to the Warriors on 4 September 26:37. By then, questions were being asked about whether their defence could match their offensive output. The Warriors had punished their defensive vulnerabilities in that earlier encounter.
The final scoreline showed a contest where both attacks found openings, yet the Setters fell short. 7 points separated the sides at the whistle. The Greyhounds held on to secure the victory.
The win improves the Greyhounds' standing after a difficult period. The Setters, despite the effort, drop points that might prove crucial in the long run. The standings landscape shifted slightly with this outcome. Both teams now look ahead to the next fixture. It remains to be seen if the Setters can recover from this setback.
