'Careybear' Claws to Victory



The Black Belt League entered its fifth outing on Super Tuesday as 85 players took to the felt to battle it out for this week's bragging rights.

Capturing the honours was Orange Belt Carey CareybearBBP Hollick; she defeated Ninja #2 winner Alan tealcSVU Steer heads-up to lap up the $116.91 first prize.

Reigning League Champion Robbie BobbersAllin Ayres was the opening casualty of the night, while last week's winner Robert myteamouse Bulman didn't fair too much better in 52nd.
