Our first week of the Top 8 Bottom 7 split kicks off for Thomson Div One, while our other teams are still working hard in their round robins.
Our First round of Top 8 and Bottom 7 kicks off for the Lincoln University Thomson Trophy, while the other competitions carry on through their round robins.
Lincoln University Thomson Division One Top 8
Our Top 8 has our current top seeds Christs College host Rangiora, which promises to be close. My pick for this though is Rangiora.
First time top 8 seed Rolleston takes on St Bedes at St Bedes. But I think St Bedes will claim this one.
ST Andrews are heading to St Thomas with an early tip off (5.45pm). I think St Andrews could still claim this one.
Last up pre season champs and current Dowsons Cup holders Shirely head to Cashmere. Shirley should be able to hold the cup for another week.
Lincoln University Thomson Division One Bottom 7
Burnside start the split off with a bye, so a rest for them.
CBHS are hosting Kaiapoi. These two teams were close in preseason. But I think CBHS will take the win.
Hillmorton play host to Ashburton this week. I believe the tigers will triumph this week.
Middleton (who currently lead the bottom 7) are expected to take a W over visitors Riccarton.
Last week’s picks 7/7

Last week’s picks 1/3
Lincoln University Whelan Division One
Cashmere host St Margarets this week, with both hoping to get their first win, I think it will be a case of who wants it more. I am backing St Margarets for this W though.
CGHS are hosting St Andrews, where the dominant St Andrews look good for another win.
Lastly a rematch from pre season. Kaiapoi take on Rangiora. Kaiapoi won the preseason match up, but I think Rangiora will have the desire to beat Kaiapoi tonight.
