The Golfers host Mackie in the first unofficial finals encounter which promises to be a mouth watering encounter. A loss to either team means the end of any finals aspirations. This will be hard and uncompromising cricket.
Interesting to see that Mackie has dangled a hook; who will bite? Who knows Brett with his immense experience at Marantha, Mordialloc and the UK, a current Longmuir and T 20, premiership player, it sounds like a perfect fit. Are you interested? There I go again with the Chinese Whispers.
How the Panthers would have loved such a batting display earlier in the season. It is in their own hands now so if they can overcome the ‘foreign legion’ then finals beckon. They will have to be at their very best to have a chance, and hope their Stars are in alignment, but you never know.
The Beach boys finally showed some of last seasons fight and made the Hoops work hard to get the points. They come up against a revitalized Cowboy outfit which have a little self belief and will be desperate to account for one of the darkest days in their history last season at Beach Boy Park, when they surrendered and made 15 runs with extras being equal top scorer with 3 runs.
The Royals season is in tatters and the end of the season cannot come quick enough down at Bertie’s Reserve. The Hoops have had a poor season by their standards and cannot afford to trip up, but can still make the finals. They are on a roll and will take the Royals to the cleaners at Bertie’s.
The Juggernaut were anxiously looking at the score board as it got closer and closer to the target, but the Sky Blues just fell short. The Spiders overcame the Heighters not without a few nervous moments, and have now all but guaranteed their first Longmuir finals appearance. Coach Haley takes the Under 21’s into the final on Sunday so he has had a very good season, and I would be flabbergasted if some turf clubs are not closely looking at his performance. (There I go again with those Chinese whispers!)
This could be the preview of the Preliminary Final so both sides will be keen to give a good account of themselves. Spiders bowling versus the Juggernaut’s deep batting line up. The Juggernaut will want to be on their guard as the Spiders are on the move.
Burger and a few of his lower order accomplices made the Juggernaut sweat there for a while last week. They just fell short but they will be too strong for a fragile Chelsea Heights. At 1/49 chasing 149, the really should have given a better account for themselves. The Sky Blues will win and win easily and all but consign the Heighters to Woolnough for 2012/2013.
Spongebob just making sure he got another wicket for the averages to end the match. Well done SB. Now for the Ommies. This promises to be a very entertaining match with a lot of experience on both teams roster. Hopefully we have a high scoring run fest.
Ommies got the wobbles and did everything to lose this game. Westars batting is still questionable, and they don’t have the depth or money that others possess, but they have the heart and the good old working class resolve to fight out matches, and you have to respect that trait. In what is another unofficial semi final they should repeat last years actual finals result.
Hampton United put up a fight against the Botanists and at one stage Bell and Dixon would have the Botanists brains trust scurrying for suggestions to break up the partnership. The Hampton boys still have a chance to avoid the dreaded relegation as they come up against the Juggernaut and the Hoops and then end the season against the rampaging Wash Ups. The Hoops look like they could be vulnerable so it will be an extremely interesting end to the season to see who stays up, percentage notwithstanding.
Speaking of relegation, the Royals come up against Mick’s Burra. Coming off a win against the Hoops the Burra will be full of confidence. The Royals can’t buy a win and the Juggernaut match still sticks in the Royals craw. Best chance that the Royals will have to get up and celebrate a win.
The Cowboys have sprung back to life and now playing with a little purpose and resolve and take on the hapless Hoops. They overcame the Royals but nearly blew it as they proceeded to lose three for none but they composed themselves to get up.It as been a terrible season for the boys from Brighton; homeless and lacking the depth to compete. The Cowboys will continue on with their good form.
The Botanists travel to the leafy surrounds of Brighton and will take on Cluden who have held their own this season. The Botanists will win but heed a warning from Hamptons resolve which could have ended in a shock upset. They need to get into finals mode and start treating the remaining matches as rehearsals for the finals and lift their intensity.
