Figes fires Wests into Aussie National League Finals

The Great Britain captain scored twice in his team’s midweek match against Brisbane Barracudas but couldn’t prevent Wests slipping to an 11-10 defeat on the day.

But having scooped bronze after reaching the Finals Series 12 months ago, Wests fought hard to secure their playoff place again – beating Barracudas 11-6 in the return fixture before downing Drummoyne Devils 13-5 in their final regular season match.

Sean King’s season with SV Weiden in the German Bundesliga ran to a close on Sunday as they lost 14-3 in their playoff quarter final second leg with SG Waspo Hannover.

The result means Weiden finish the season in sixth – matching their result from last year.

Adam Scholefield’s PVSK-Fuszert started their 5-8 playoff campaign slowly, suffering a 9-6 defeat by FTC Fisher in their opening match.

Scholefield found the net for his side but PVSK found the going tough, never recovering from a 3-1 opening quarter deficit.

Ric Lawlor found the net in PSV-Eindhoven’s final regular season match of the season in the Dutch Hoofdklasse.

With their position in next weekend’s top division play-outs confirmed, there was little for PSV to play for on the day and they ultimately fell to a 9-5 defeat against KNZB-NTC.
