Check out the results below.

WOMEN 

Inner West Bulls (44) def by Sutherland Sharks (105)

A complete and utter demolition job from Sutherland in this one, beating Inner West by a staggering 61 points. 

Three Sharks starters scored at least 20 points, including Lauren Nicholson who recorded a 22-point, 11- rebound and 10-assist triple-double. 

The Bulls' lone double-figure scorer was Lashayla Wright Ponder, who had 12 points, as Sutherland claimed what can only be described as a demoralising win.

SUTHERLAND 105 (Norris 24, Nicholson 22, Panousis 20)

Central Coast Crusaders (63) def by Norths Bears (98)

Riley Evans led Norths, and the game, with 26 points including 6-11 from three, while the Crusaders' top scorer was Jonalyn Wittwer with 14.

MEN

Inner West Bulls (84) def by Sutherland Sharks (86)

In one of the craziest NBL1 games ever, the Inner West Bulls recovered from a 25-8 third quarter with a 23-16 fourth quarter of their own, with the game coming down to the final seconds. 

The Sharks were just able to hang on for the win, thanks in large part to Adrian Cabrera, who had 28 points, four rebounds, and four assists. 

Chol Adup led the Bulls in scoring with 19, while Chier Maker dropped a 15-point 16-rebound double-double, as they went down by the slimmest of margins.

Despite two huge performances from Central Coast, Norths’ depth slightly better in this game, giving the Bears a seven-point win. 

Patrick Sanders-McClain led Norths with 20 points, while Ignatius Mitchell had a 17-point 13-rebound double-double with five assists. 

James Trustum led all scorers with 28 points, and Callum Jenkins pitched in 21 of his own, but they didn't quite have enough to claim the win.
