The Rebels completed a comfortable victory over the Zipps at the regular-season stage, winning 38 to 10 on Saturday evening. The result extends a poor run for the home side, who have now lost three of their last four matches. By then, the visiting outfit had already shown they could string together some decent performances when the pieces fell into place.
The Rebels have been finding their footing of late. They beat the Rainbow Warriors 21 to 6 on September 6th before suffering a narrow defeat to the Tigers. The Zipps, meanwhile, have been inconsistent — a heavy loss to the Golden Goopers followed by a dominant display against the Colonials, then another setback against the Demon Diakons.
There were no statistics supplied for this fixture, so the numbers will have to wait. What is clear is that the Rebels held their nerve when it mattered and turned what could have been a tight contest into a comfortable win.
The result means the Rebels move forward with momentum after a mixed start to their campaign. The Zipps have a lot to unpack — they have hit a wall of sorts, conceding heavily in two of their last three outings. The table goes out of the window in these games, but form has a way of telling its own story.
