Thanks Smalley.
Anyway, it doesn't look very good on this new cup when teams are dropping out in the first round. We were looking forward to playing someone from outside of our league, which seemed to me to be one of the main purposes of the competition. Essentially, the blame here must fall completely on Cloughie because, in reality, after this weekend it could very easily turn into another VMSL cup. Yes, I am predicting Columbus will beat Poco. Delta Hurricanes will have their hands full on the road with Bays United though, especially if Bays has the same team as last year.
Oh well, looking forward to those Carlsberg samples, which apparently are awarded to winning teams in each round of play in the Pacific Cup.
I just looked at the Ferry schedule FFS how does Bays get away with a noon start oh well 7am Ferry here we come. Island or mainland it should be a 2pm start at earliest for traveling teams. I hope it's not windy and they cancel a sailing.
