Kotara, Barnsley and Bero are making things very difficult for the top teams at the moment. Nelson Bay are a young team that wouldn't surprise me if they sprung an upset in the remaining few rounds. It is going to be a very interesting race for the finals for a few teams!Quote:

If they don't defeat Stockton, there season will be over I"d say!

Jesmond 38pts - Cookers (a), Nelson Bay (a), Kotara (h), Barnsley (a)
Cooks Hill 26pts - Jesmond (h), Terrace (a), Nelson Bay (a), Warners Bay (h)

Charlie's destiny is in their own hands. The only team that doesn't play anyone above them.
We play Bero at home this weekendQuote:

Must wins for Bero and Kotara this weekend.
It should be a fantastic finish to the season.
Why do we even bother playing the games when we have psychics on the forums?Quote:

Not psychic, just seen all teams play, Charly the worst of that bunch, fantastic keeper, couple of quick players, terrible team. Just my opinion :thumbsup:Quote:

Can see Nelson bay doing a job on a few teams to put pressure on Barnsley.
Stockton are well placed at the moment, big game this Saturday up against Kotara that haven't lost in a while. I think Charlestown will not make the 4 due to not being much chop except for the keeper. Whoever runs 4th, Stockton,warners bay or Kotara will definitely be a danger in the finals.
Not giving Beresfield a chance? 5 behind 4th and only one further back then Kotara. With most having somewhat of a difficult run in, and Beresfield having the chance of taking points off 4 of the 5 above them, they can still sneak in. Good win against Cooks Hill too. Could act as a spring board.Quote:

Terrace has the hardest run home, they be lucky to stay into the 4
Like someone said earlier, their run of injuries and such truly is terrible. Apparently only had 6 fresh players for reserve grade on the weekend. Still fielding a strong 1st grade team but not as strong as it was at beginning of the season. That along with the tough run in might see them drop out but who bloody knows in this comp, it really is a great one... besides jesmond, thanks for making thank challenge for 1st spot boring! hahahaQuote:

I'm going to go with
Jesmond
Cooks hill
Stockton
Warners bay
I would be more intrigued to see the odds on making the top 4, a few teams would back themselves I'd say.Quote:
