Ruutupaidat leads

Ruutupaidat played two victorious games last weekend. On Saturday they won Gepardi in Toijala 4-9 and on Sunday they had home game against Loiske.
Final score in that game was 5-2. Most efficient player of Ruutupaidat team was Tom Svarvar, who scored three times in two games and had four assists.
After ten played games Ruutupaidat is on the first place in finnish premier league.

On the second place is title-holder Ilves fs that played only one game on last weekend. They won also Gepardi in Toijala. Final score was 1-9. Best player for Ilves was Kalle Helin. Behind these two teams is VALO that is four points behind Ruutupaidat and two points behind Ilves fs. On Saturday VALO won Tervarit from Oulu in Vantaa 4-2. Number one for VALO was Tero Tainio who assisted two of their goals.

After matchday 11 Finnish premier league will be divided in two groups:

- Upper group (teams on places 1-6)
- Lower group (teams on places 7-12)

After matchday 11 teams will play only against other teams in their own group, once against each other. Finnish champion will be the team that has most points in upper group after all the games are played. (11 games + 5 games in Upper group =16 games).

After the matchday 10 there are only 3 teams sure to be in upper group: Ruutupaidat, Ilves fs and VALO. There are still 6 other teams that have chances to get in upper group: Mad Max, TP-Kaarle, Tervarit (these three have 16 points) and Loiske, TPK, GFT (these three have 13 points). Matchday 11 is going to be very interesting and very important for these teams.
