We are back in action after a hiatus last week (for most teams).

Our Division One Lincoln University Thomson Trophy competition continues with its split of top 8 and bottom 7.

In our Top 8 we have:

A sure to be strong battle between Shirley Spartans and Christ’s College.  I am picking this to go in Christ’s favor.

Rolleston heads to St Thomas. Rolleston are in for a tough fight, where I am picking St Thomas to win.

St Bedes are hosting current Dowsons cup holders Cashmere. This should be a close game, but the St Bedes team are the favorite’s tonight.

Lastly in our Top 8, we have Rangiora hosting STAC. Another sure to be entertaining game, where I am picking the host’s to take this win.

 

In the bottom 7 we have:

Ashburton hosting CBHS in an earlier 5.45pm tip.

Middleton and Hillmorton also playing a double header.

And Burnside host Riccarton.

 

Division Two we have:

Darfield vs RNLS

Lincoln vs Hagley

Hornby vs Cathedral College

Papanui vs Oxford

Last week’s picks 9/12 (including catch up game)

 

Our Lincoln University Whelan Trophy teams also continue with our Division One ladies finishing off their first round robin tonight.

A double header of Rangiora vs STAC tonight. While I’ve picked the lads result to favor Rangiora, ladies are going to favor STAC tonight.

Next up the girls only schools battle it out with CGHS vs St Margarets. CGHS look to take this win tonight.

And lastly in division one Kaiapoi are hosting Cashmere. I think Kaiapoi look to continue showing their dominance with another win.

 

Our Division Two ladies are:

Avonside vs Rolleston

Rangi Ruru vs Hagley

Middleton vs Hillmorton

Burnside Papanui vs RNLS

Ashburton vs Villa (to be played 17th June)

 

Last weeks picks 5/9 (including catch up game)

 

Lastly NZCT’s Grocott Trophy.

Shirley vs Kaiapoi

Christs vs Hillmorton (deferred)
