Very fair call Cyclo and timely, but, you beauty, we are back.
Now, how about tomorrow's games. LET'S TALK FOOTY GENTS!
Oakhill v Joeys : Hard to comment as Oakhill have clearly been vastly underestimated. The Knox team they edged out by a point last weekend IS a very solid team which speaks volumes for Oakhill. BUT knowing this age group team at Joeys, playing at Joeys, I choose Joeys to win. The margin in the game will be interesting.
Riverview V Knox : As stated above this Knox team is big, talented and solid all around the park.
View are without their tremendous no.10 and he is, so it does help Knox tomorrow.
At full strength I have previously picked View to win the GPS comp, BUT tomorrow, Knox can do it.
Newington V Scots : Newington at home will definitely have a go, they have some very good younger fellows, in particular the fullback, who I believe is in year 10, is very quick and a real goer, BUT people keep talking up Scots, so tomorrow it's time for Scots to deliver, so I pick Scots.
Aloys v Stannies : From all reports both are having a real go, especially Aloys, BUT I choose Stannies, BUT at Aloys home ground, which is magnificent, hand cut by scissors, carpet like, and I kid you not, BUT I still pick Stannies just..
Pats V Trinity : Pats will have a go BUT Trinity by quite a few, this Trinity side has some seriously good rugby boys, Hannaford being just 1, AND as my old mate Snort ( who if he reminds me 1 more time about Trinity V Waves in 1979 - I will shoot him), this Trinity team IS the dark horse in the CAS, GIVEN no major injuries!
St.Gregs v Cranners : LOOK this Cranbrook team at full strength IS the real deal. They currently have 1 very good player out, that I know of, BUT should still account for Gregs comfortably. Going forward Cranbrook need to play stronger teams, maybe every second weekend because playing and beating weaker schools in the trials makes them feel great early, then they start the real comp, CAS, and their 1st game is Barker..... You never know, but welcome to the real world!
Kings V Waves : If last weekends game was any indication, this should be tough. View beat Kings 12-10, and I have already talked up the View team, so Kings must be solid. Joeys beat Kings the weekend before by 40 BUT apparently Kings had quite a few missing due to a cadet camp, so the story goes, but does sound logistical, and I don't believe Joeys are that far ahead of View this year, quite the contrary. The Waves have also just been on a 4 day camp this week, so all deprived of their usual mummy food cooking, soft beds, etc, they appeared out of the bus like zombies!
BUT hey no excuses here, by now, they should all be fit, can sleep their little heads in tomorrow, and should be ready to go tomorrow at the suburb called Kings. A draw, noooo, BS, Waves to win.
I hope all this overview comes across as unbiased as possible, because as hard as it is, I tried!
Good luck to ALL boys and teams tomorrow, and NO injuries thanks!
As BP would say, Hi it's WLF!
