Round 9 Results:
Bombala V Batemans Bay - game was washed out - split the points
Milton V Narooma - 72 - 5 to Milton
Broulee - BYE
As mentioned above the game with Bombala and the Bay was washed out so they will split the points for the round keeping it close at the top between Batemans Bay and Broulee.
Milton V Narooma game - this is really a game Narooma could of come close to winning if not winning - but due to only 14 men travelling and Milton being at home and most of the players being fresh after a Comp BYE weekend for the Provincial Champs they were just to strong - Narooma were missing a few key players from the forward pack and just didnt face up to the Milton squad. This win though put Milton in a strong postion and could be the turning point in their season - they have the BYE this round but next they face Batemans Bay in Milton and if they can have a win it could really see them putting pressure on the 2 power-houses of the comp Broulee and Batemans Bay come finals time.
Round 10 games -
Narooma V Bombala
Batmans Bay V Broulee
Milton - BYE
I said this last week and they got 72 points put on them but this game is another good chance for Narooma to get the 1st win of the season - Bombala struggle to travel due to the 2 hour + trip so numbers could be a real factor in this game - if Bombala dont turn up with enough players and Narooma at home turn up with 18-20 players - with all/most of their key players back then we could see Narooma FINALLY get a win - they came close when they played Broulee and they had their full-strength squad - if they can get a full-strength squad and Bombala rock up with lack of numbers and thinking it will be a walk over they could be in trouble.
Batemans Bay V Broulee - last time these two teams met in Round 5 Broulee ended up winning 23-5 - I think considering Batmens Bay are at home, they have had acouple of weeks to get over some injuries etc - I think they will be to strong for Broulee - I think this will be the game of the season so far and will really show if the Bay are up for a grand final win this year agasint a Broulee side that have really developed strongly over the last 2-3 years.
