This week marked the end of the first half of the Liga competition.
The big winners over the weekend were Fusto-Gordon, whose 2 victories and 6 jokos moved them out of last place and into contention for a semi-final spot. They were Gordon's first two victories as a professional. Highlights of the weekend were the performances of Necol and Fusto on Saturday.
