2003-2004 Div 2Cup Predictions-Results

[bonefish]

Final Four "Candidates"

NSU JimBeam - Looking to avenge an early exit from last years Cup.
Richmond - The Cougs are always hungry and play with no fear...
Westside Rangers'A' - Will Westside's confidence be intact for success in Cup?
Signmaster - Will speed be enough to conquer some of the better sides in the league?
City FC Rangers - Leaders of the weakest Div 2 group? Time will Tell
City FC Blaze - Will they Two-Peat?
NSU Primos - Will they have the 'depth' for a good Cup Run?
LM Firefighters - They will attempt to bully their way to the finals
Pegasus - Cat Contenders with a 10-0-1 record
Croatia Classic - Will they succeed without CAT players coming down from above?

[Gurps]

From Side A Div 2 Cat, look for Peg, Temple, and Westside to make some noise, although all three teams will most likely not be as strong as they are during regular play, due to the fact that we cannot bring down any players.

When is the cup draw by the way? I heard it might be this week, anyone know?

[CDK]

Don't count too much on Classic making noise in the div 2 Cup. With our full squad out we could probably have a chance at winning the Div 1 Cup. The problem is that our players range in age between 30 and 47. Most married with kids and don't have time to make all the games. We have 25 players signed and are lucky when we get 11 out to a game. We only used Croatia B ( a few A) players to fill in as subs for some of games because we have a lot of guys really out of shape. Croatia A has also borrowed a player of ours for there games. I think he will transfer to them for their cup run. Skill wise, there isn't a team in div 2 or Premier that can come close to us...

The Surrey U C team is a good team to look out for in the div 2 cup. Not very skillful but are young, fairly fit and run all game. Club I Hibs are also not a bad little team...

[amazing_hands]

The Surrey U C boys are always a good bet. As a former member they've always run into suspension problems near the end of the season and in cup play, leaving a lot of their key players left holding their wanker when it counts.

Bonefish, it is quite an honor to even be mentioned in your predictions, but I too agree with CDK unless we can get our full squad out....who knows only time will tell. Surrey U and Club I are going to be tough to beat if we draw in their group. Both are young and fast. I know without the Cat system in affect it will show how good the teams really are.

Looking forward to cup play. Good Luck to all.

[B.R. KELLY]

Blaze to win the cup again.
i'm curious to see the brackets (when will they be posted?)
i'm sure there are a few other contenders, but no reason we won't run the table.

You guys are dreaming if you think Club I and Surrey C will make a run at the Div.2 cup. Have you ever gone and watched any of the non Cat Div 2 teams play that are at the top of their division? Once they face these teams they will get spanked.....badly. This is coming from Westside Rangers B. We have beaten Surrey C and tied Club I twice. They don't have a chance against the better teams in Div 2! But hey, it's always nice to dream.

[CDK]

I guess I forgot to mention that Westside Rangers B has a good team as well...

PS, We'd beat your A team too.

No chance. You barely beat us.

Does anyone know when the draw date is or when we will find out what the draw results are and when they will be posted?

Stranger,

The top four squads in Div2 Cat are Croatia, Club I, Westside and Slurrey U. Of those 3 teams, we have lost only 1 game, 3-2 to Croatia, a game which we shit the bed. Every other game we didnt finish our dinner and it cost us all 3 points.

With that said, you say both Slurrey and CI dont have a chance against the 'better teams'? Who are these 'better teams' that you speak of? You can't consider yourselves to be a strong squad surely.

Club I is as already mentioned a fast, young team, who can score alot of goals, without giving up many at the other end, just look at our goals for/goals against.

I won't be playing in the Div2 Cup, however I wish the lads and all the other teams the best of luck.

Nice...I was working on something similar but it is for my eyes only as it has my picks for the div 2 cup pool....

BTW. I predict your squad will be facing City FC Rangers in the Semis......

Club I Champ:

Did you forget your 1-0 loss to Westside? I guess you must've shit the bed there too.

[Keeper]

Bonefish, after a quick glance over your prelim, I predict a classic Knights/JB match up in the Round of 32. With luck, we won't be playing the same day: that'll be a blast from the past.

Birds of a feather on that one. If my predictions hold true their will be some very interesting rubber matchs between division rivals....
