Speaking of the Grasshoppers, The undefeated green unit laid waste to the still-winless Cats in round 12.

Meanwhile, LBU found some decent stretches of play after a slow start, hitting double digits in goals in each quarter after the first.
However, it did very little to catch the blistering Grasshoppers, who cruised to a 44-goal victory, 81-37.
