Knights Cup Final 2008

Banter and such here please.

Who's your pick to win the game?

**johnnybluenose** · 03-17-2008, 08:40 AM

I am going with Whalley...

They had issues scoring in the semi, but that had more to do with the outstanding play of WRU's Sweeper than Whalley's lack of finishing on the day, everything was kept outside and easy-ish for the keeper.

Mission looked more likely to compete with Whalley's speed, but don't look as tight at the back as WRU did...

Whalley will win IMHO.

good luck to both teams

Is it possible for Mission to supply the game ball for this one? I know we're home, but I can't remember the last time we've scored a goal with our own ball. Seriously. It's going to be a test for sure, speed on both teams, it will be a change for us as we haven't played on grass for months, not sure about Mission.

MIssion play on grass and I hope they kill you guys.

haha as much as i dont see that happening thanks for the 2b support

**johnnybluenose** · 03-17-2008, 02:02 PM

Nobody is going to kill anyone.

I took in both games at Willoughby and it will be a good match to watch for sure.

Should be a quick and speedy game...both teams are pretty slick about how they move the ball around...the final ball to the striker or winger was the issue for both teams in the semi finals...I assume that both coaches would have figured that out and will be ensuring the quality is a little higher than that in the final.

Still bitter eh KH?

jimmy_jones · 03-17-2008, 07:10 PM

i went with the strikers not because i like them more...i just like mission a whole lot less....

My penny's are on whalley. IF they can stay away from the long ball. If it didn't work agains't sundowner, it won't work on mission. good luck.

Mission 1-0 in OT 3 red cards.

badknees7 · 03-17-2008, 09:15 PM

Haven't seen Whalley but saw Mission a few weeks back and they looked good.Looked to knock it around quite well,with loads of speed. Mission 2-1!!!

I thought the Knights Cup was over once the Rams were out

I dont know...whalley goes up and down in games. Although i have never seen mission play or know what there team is like. Its going to be hard to say. So i am picking no one.

The_Reverend · 03-18-2008, 12:39 PM

i'm going to go with whalley, against my better judgement... that way we can say that we got knocked out by the eventual cup winner

Sarcasm on the taking you part. You guys threatened a lot in that game, so I meant the dangerous part. Obviously I picked us.
