“NO DOUBT”!

                       ATMOSHPERIC RIVER OFF & ON THE FIELD

 

CW men travel for away games to Cowichan’s Herd Road field tomorrow with First Div kickoff at 12:30 and Premier kickoff at 2:30 (note an earlier time change).  Divvies are 0- 2 so far with Cowichan sitting at 1 – 1.  The “Piggies” are always a tough opponent at home and Keegan Hall, earning his first captaincy with the team, deservedly so for he is an inspirational man, will need all he can muster from his forwards to break the bagel.

 
Premier action will see the Tricolors put their undefeated record on the line against the Pride.  The Pride’s results have not been particularly favorable to this point however, their talent is not in dispute, and it will require all there is in the tank with as few errors as possible in what promises to be very inclement conditions, for the undefeated status to be retained.

 
Denver Fatt is missing from the pack and Alex McCallum will be called upon to step up.  Alex did get a few starts with the Vikes, so it is another opportunity to prove his ability for his enthusiasm is not in doubt.  John Humphreys and Nick Carson are absent from the pack with Dring and Ayo getting the start in the engine room.  Both put in a long, and solid enough stint against Caps, and it will require that or more tomorrow.  Nott leads the side from #8 and the loosies will get heaps of work in the mud.  There has been a shuffle in the backs with ‘Suddsy’ Sutherland getting the coach’s nod and Tardiff, who looked much improved last outing, coming off the pines.  Personally, I liked Hager in the centers last week so that option will be possible with him starting on the wing. Fuli, off the bench could be critical if the going gets heavy.  If we can make the trek, the boys will need the support in an outcome that looks tight to this pundit.  Go, you good things.
