A few matches this weekend with some potential for greatness. Which do you think deserves the honour of 'Match of the Week'?
Delta Metro vs Langley (Fri. 7:30, JO)
Langley, more secure than ever I would imagine, will walk confidently into JO knowing that their opposition has had little or no luck against them in recent times. In their last meeting, Delta found themselves on the losing end of a 3-2 score, continuing the trend of dropping points to their 'boogie team'. Potential factors in the game: Delta sitting idle, and Langley's huge win over PAU last weekend.
Poco vs GEU (Fri. 9:00pm, Gates Pk.)
Last meeting between these two settled nothing (1-1 draw), only serving to add to the already intense feud between these two sides. Which is the best team on the west(north) side of the river?! Both teams hovering at mid-table in the standings, and slightly inconsistent in their efforts to climb higher. Tough to try to predict just how this one will turn out, but I think it's safe to say that nothing will be left on the park after the dust settles.
GN Sport vs SUFC (Fri. 9:00pm, Mackie)
'The Chutney Bowl' round II. This one was closer than most people thought last time these two teams met. At the time, GN was riding a wave of success, while the Sikhs were being labelled as the embarrassment of the league. Oh how things have changed! The Sikhs coming off of an impressive win over The Storm, while GN flounders trying to regroup from a massive slide in the standings. To make this more interesting, this is the first meeting between the teams since the defection of two GN players. We may even see a few tackles in this one boys!
PAU vs ND Lions (Sun. 12:30pm, SSA)
PAU will be trying to stop the bleeding after Langley handed them their third consecutive loss. The once deep 'Nation' now find themselves substantially thinner, with no fewer than 6 regulars out of the lineup with injuries. A true test of character for them now as they take on the pesky Lions, who are fresh off of an impressive win vs Poco. This will also be Lion's first game against his old mates which is sure to add some emotion, and excitment to this one!
Whalley Storm vs Chilliwack (Sun. 2:15pm, AHP Matthews)
Whalley were brought down to reality this season in ungentlemanly fashion when they visited Chilliwack at the 'Ex', getting trounced 5-0 by the Rapids! I doubt they will suffer a similar fate this weekend though, as I'm sure they took away some valuable lessons from the experience. Also, as stated before, Chilliwack seem vulnerable on the road.
