I wouldn't expect much from the BBC 16's
Mid Table . Best.
Mid Table . Best.
They will also be guided by 3 very good coaches. I'm looking forward to watching their progress this year.BBC 16A's may surprise a few. They showed glimpses last year. They put in a very strong performance against NC 15A in 2015 and had were exerting a lot of pressure until a brain snap saw a player yellow carded. There are a lot of good athletes in that side, and no doubt, some new ones, but a backline largely made up of league players meant they did't always make the best decisions. If this part of their game improves, they are capable of doing very well.

I've heard a rumour that the Round 9 fixtures of 2015 will not be the Round 1 fixtures of 2016!
What gives?
This match should be very interesting. Apparently NC have a lot of injuries and this may be a problem, with a lack of depth. BSHS on the other hand, have great depth. So I know its only a trial, but I expect to see BSHS give it to NC.
