4月13日，北京赛区进入第4轮比赛的周末，又进行2场。中国农大因校运会，以及地豚队到外地参赛，两队轮空。
北京队19-17北京鸭
这是一场势均力敌的比赛，靠附加射门的成功率分出了最终的胜负。
北京兄弟27-48 北京鬼子
本场比赛在京西学校（WAB）的人工草橄榄球场进行，上半场两队的节奏很快。兄弟的凯文·乔治通过巧踢和追逐的个人表演先下一城，5-0。鬼子马上通过反抢争边球后的攻击，由罗比·麦凯达阵，还以颜色。随后，兄弟通过流畅的运转球，以及几次精彩的抗传，阿索塔西·莱福索在门柱下达阵，比分12-7。随后，彼得·菲茨杰拉德的开球质量很高，漂亮地落在边锋托比·古拉的手里，这位肯尼亚快车手在没人摸到的情况下冲入阵区。
鬼子似乎控制了上半场后半段的比赛，他们有组织的发挥和良好的处理让阿尔比·梅雷迪思和安德鲁·怀特斯通都摆脱了对方的防守。两个几乎完全相同的达阵。尽管如此，兄弟还是表现出了足够的斗志，中间出现了多次突破，安德鲁和蒙大拿·西尔的配合达阵。半场结束，比分是22-26，鬼子领先。
然而下半场，比赛进入鬼子的寄走。他们的老到经验和板凳深度确实很突出，兄弟无法承受这种压力。高节奏和快速的球跑动意味着兄弟几乎没有时间重新组织防守，鬼子的麦克·拉斯特、詹姆斯·甘特、戴夫·尼科尔森和安德鲁·怀特斯通4次达阵。兄弟通过弗朗西斯·阿富阿穆阿拿到了一个安慰达阵，最后的比分是27-48。魔鬼队以4胜全胜积19分高居联赛榜首。他们比地豚和北京队高出9分。下周鬼子要与同样保持不败的地豚对决，但后者目前只打了两场比赛。
Devils Outgun Brothers; Stay Undefeated
The Beijing Devils and Brothers squared off in round 4 of Beijing Cup action this weekend. The first half proved to be an entertaining affair as both sides brought their sprint spikes to the fast turf pitch at Western Academy (WAB).
The Islanders hit first through a wonderful individual effort by Kelvin George – a chip over the top, followed by a grubber through, 5-0 Brothers. Devils struck back almost immediately through Robbie Mackie after a Chris Planchant lineout steal. Brothers then returned the favor, through fluid ball moment and a few fast and loose offloads, with Asotasi Lefaoseu dotting down under the posts 12-7. In the ensuing restart, Peter Fitzgerald hung a high kickoff that eluded everyone to land sweetly into winger Toby Gura’s breadbasket and the Kenyan speedster raced in untouched for a try.
Devils seemed to control the next part of the half as their structured play and good handling freed both Alby Meredith and Andrew Whitestone for tries in the far corner; the two almost carbon copies of each other. Nonetheless the Brothers showed plenty of fight and multiple line breaks through the middle resulted in a try a piece for Andrew and Montana Siale. While the Devils showed good line speed to shut down the ball from moving wide, missed first up tackles and hard lines from the Brothers strike runners meant the Devils back three of Matt Maynard, Mike Rust, and Toby Gura had plenty work to keep the score line intact. In an entertaining back and forth first 40 min, score was 26-22 Devils.
The second half though, was an all Devils affair. The experience and deep bench of the men in red really shone through and the Brothers could not keep up with the pressure. High tempo and quick ball movement meant the Brothers defense had little time to regroup as the Devils trotted in four tries through – Mike Rust, James Gant, Dave Nicholson, and a second for Andrew Whitestone. The Islanders were able to put in a consolation try through Francis Afuamua, as the referee’s final score read Devils 48 Brothers 27.
Devils stay at the top of the league table with 4 wins and 19 points. They stay 9 points clear of Aardvarks and Beijing Pro. Next week’s matchup will see the Devils face off against the Aardvarks, who are also undefeated but have two games in hand.
