NZCT Thomson, Whelan and Grocott Week 10 Picks

Regular season wraps up tomorrow.

It’s the final push for teams to secure top placings before playoffs, with the final games of regular season taking place this week!

 

NZCT Thomson Division One

Top 8 are looking to secure their quarter final spots with play ins next week.

Hillmorton vs St Andrew’s. Hillmorton will be looking to find their winning ways after losing to Cashmere last week, while StAC will still be on a high after their thrilling OT win against Rangiora. This game could go either way.

Pick: Hillmorton

Rangiora vs Shirley. If this game wasn’t going to be hard enough for Rangiora, dealing with their OT loss to StAC last week will make this even harder.

Pick: Shirley

St Thomas vs Cashmere. Another game that should be fun to watch. But if Mana pulls the same performance he did against Christ’s, then STC should take this.

Pick: St Thomas

Christ’s vs St Bedes. St Bede’s will be looking to put a blemish in Christ’s perfect record tomorrow. A feat no other team has achieved in the past two seasons.

Pick: Christ’s
