what normally happens, everyone puts down their own club as favourites, so NOC.

SOS all the way for the Trophy!

not interlopers!

Not my club but OD for the cup and probably SARUM for the trophy

Apparently history tells us that when a Scottish club turn up for the Trophy final, they win.

Three Scottish clubs in the final this year so if more than one turns up then that will be changing!

But the smart money should still be on a Scottish club :wink:

i know the esoc massive are descending on a day trip in a coach: can they challenge the might of FVO?

Could be a tight fight between Sarum, SOS and hopefully SWOC for the trophy. For the small clubs in particular it depends on which one manages to get a full strength team out.

NOC for the cup.

Well AIRE won fairly comfortably last year, so you'd have to make them the favourites... (well that's what my brother has been trying to convince me)

But of course you can't discount the mighty SLOW...

FVO. The scoring is biased towards a particular age profile (now, even older than me!), but after qualifying all the other clubs have this too-similar profile and will take points off each other. Interlopers could ruin FVO's chances, but they wont.

history also tells us that when a Scottish club turn up for the Cup final, they win. :lol:

Easy to say from the 'safety' of the FRA Relays that day instead!

You spotted our plan for an historic double! But the organisers are wise to us and are giving the Cup and Trophy different Blue courses.....

Not a chance Mister X - AIRe are virtually on home ground and will keep you Scots well subdued!

by **Rich R** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:29 pm

Aire won't have to worry about any Scots, there all in the small clubs competition, NOC on the the other hand will be a worry for Aire!
