NZCT Thomson, Whelan and Grocott- Week 5

Last push before the first break in the season.

Last week before our first scheduled week off.

 

Thomson Division One- Top 8

🏆Christs vs Shirley- a repeat of last years final, but both teams looking quite different. A significantly younger Shirley team have a tough uphill battle.

🏀St Andrews vs Kaiapoi- despite a couple injuries StAC are looking stronger than ever.

🏀St Bedes vs Cashmere- Another tight contest that could dismantle our preseason rankings.

🏀St Thomas vs Hillmorton- Another game that will certainly bring atmosphere. Have Hillmorton kept their heads up after last weeks tough loss?

Thomson Division One- Bottom 8

CBHS vs Ashburton- CBHS might be the underdogs this year for the bottom 8 under new leadership.

Middleton vs Lincoln- A big win for Lincoln last week, can they carry that momentum on?

Burnside vs Riccarton- Bottom of the table clash. Who will get their first W?

Rolleston vs Rangiora- Their juniors matched up last week, now who will win the seniors?

 

 

Whelan Division One

With schedules games more consistently being played now, it is great to the ladder taking shape.

🏀Cashmere vs Villa- Another tough one for Villa as they face a very physical Cashmere squad.

🏀CGHS vs Marian- This could be a good idea of where Marian fit in this comp.

🏀Rangiora vs Hillmorton- A couple tough coaches facing off in this match up. Will Bella Kraezlin shine again?

🏀St Andrews vs Avonside- Match up of the week. An established team vs the team of young guns looking to give them a run for their money.

🏆St Margarets vs Kaiapoi- Could be a good game as Kaiapoi showing strength despite being young.
