In Dunedin the game between the Dunedin Thunder and the Southern Stampede (from Queenstown) ended in a convincing win for the Stampede putting 6 goals into the net with Thunder scoring twice. �The Thunder are still expecting a strong Defence player to arrive from France which shall boost the defensive effort considerably. The Stampede consist of many experienced current and ex NZ Ice Blacks players which have made the difference in winning both games this weekend.

After the 1^st round both the Southern Stampede and West Auckland Admirals are leading the table with equally 6 points.
