The potential for fireworks in the last push for the semi-finals!

Both sides will have already played earlier in the day and should know exactly what they need to do to secure their best possible seeding for the semis.

Mike Molster’s Rise squad showed a strong defensive edge on the opening day, while Swift’s attack shone with Lottie Robertson scoring seven in their opening game and this battle of attack and defence could prove the deciding factor.

Who will finish the men’s pool play on a high?

Forge’s Conor Dockery and Swift’s Ravi K. Sitlani are two of The Fly’s most experienced coaches and will both be out to give their team the advantage going into the semi-finals with a win in their final pool match.

Both teams missed out on the final last year and a win here would give either side the momentum to rectify that at Finals Day.

Both teams in need of a win, but who will get it?

Last year’s winners Forge had a difficult start to their 2023 campaign with defeats to Rise and Hustle, but their late comeback in the loss to Hustle showed what this talented side are capable of, and a positive reaction will be expected.

Swift are in a similar position, also losing an absolute thriller to Hustle despite their titanic fightback in the final quarter and will equally be looking to make moves on Sunday with two games to potentially propel them up the seedings and an attack with the firepower capable of turning their fortunes around.

The battle of the two unbeaten sides - someone’s record must go!

Hustle come in to the game off the back of two dramatic one-goal victories and looking to seal the #1 seed for Finals Day, while Rise’s impressive six-goal win against last year’s champions Forge has drawn the attention as they look to go better than their two consecutive 3rd place finishes in 2021 & 22.

Can anyone stop the rise and rise of Rise Men?

Rise are looking to round off another perfect pool play campaign following their two victories last Sunday and confirm themselves as the #1 seed for the semi-finals.

Forge will be disappointed to have lost their opening fixture from a commanding position last week and will surely be out to prove a point; what better way than a win against the unbeaten, reigning champs to kick start things?

Another stunner to begin Week 2, and the first overtime game of 2023 going the way of Hustle courtesy of Dan Flisk’s game-winner!

Swift led for almost all of the game, and even in the 4th quarter still held a four-goal advantage, but as in Week 1, Hustle made a late charge victory, first tying the game up to force the added period, with both teams missing chances to win the contest before Flisk’s golden goal winner.
