NZCT Thomson, Whelan and Grocott Week 7 picks! - Canterbury Basketball Canterbury Basketball

Last week of term but not your last week of games!

We’re at the end of term already, with one week left in Whelan grades before they split, and the tail end of many other comps.

Division One Thomson Trophy

Top 8

We are now through the first half of the split, a couple more games to go.

Cashmere vs St Bede’s: Should be a good game, with Cashmere showing a lot of grit over the past couple games.

Pick: St Bede’s

Rangiora vs Hillmorton: At this point Hillmorton have proven that they’re no longer the underdog! It is not worth betting against them in some of these games.

Pick: Hillmorton

StAC vs Christ’s: It’s battle of the private schools tonight. While one team should clearly come out on top.

Pick: Christ’s

Shirley vs St Thomas: We are looking at another great match up as Rams rapid League MVP Mana takes on the well drilled Shirley boys.

Pick: Shirley

Bottom 8

Burnside vs CBHS (being played on Thursday). Pick: CBHS

Kaiapoi vs Ashburton. Pick: Kaiapoi

Middleton vs Lincoln. Pick: Lincoln

Riccarton vs Rolleston. Pick: Rolleston

Last week’s picks:7/8

Thomson Division Two

Papanui vs RNLS. Pick: Papanui

Hornby vs Oxford. Pick: Hornby

Darfield vs Cathedral. Pick: Cathedral

Last week’s picks: 1/2

Whelan Division One

Kaiapoi vs Ashburton. The first of a double header of Kaiapoi vs Ashburton. Ashburton may be tired from a close game with StAC yesterday, so this could be a good game.

Pick: Kaiapoi

Cashmere vs CGHS. Cashmere have had some close games this season, and this may well be another.

Pick: CGHS

Rangiora cs St Margaret’s. Goon are looking to get back to the top two this season and hopefully go better than their male counterparts currently are.

Pick: Rangiora

Last week’s picks: 2/3
