Week #9 represents the mid-way point of the season, and it has some great match-ups within it! Which is the MOTW?
Delta Metro vs GN Sport (Fri. 7:30pm, JO)
After an impressive 4-0 start, GN has come crashing down to mediocrity with 3 straight losses, making many recite recognizable phrases about their 'inconsistent' nature. These two teams are very close in the standings, and this match could have some implications for staying in the top 4, and in the hunt for a highly prized Provincial berth.
Chilliwack vs GEU (Fri. 8:00pm, Exhibition Pk.)
Chilliwack look to continue their fine form, and rise towards the top of the standings against a failing GEU side. Can the GEU defense hold off the unrelenting offense of the Rapids? Will Chilliwack's run-and-gun style leave them susceptible to the GEU counterattack?
ND Lions vs SUFC (Fri. 9:00pm, Mackie Pk.)
Aside from this being '"the battle of the bottom feeders", this match has some obvious appeal.
I'd be willing to bet that these two teams will find it easy to motivate themselves for this one, as the loser will almost surely fall off the face of the known planet! (or at least the standings), and that much closer to playing in Div. 1 next year.
Langley vs Whalley Storm (Sat. 7:00pm, Mun. Oval)
A re-match of last year's Pakenham semifinal if I'm not mistaken, which Langley won in unconvincing fashion IMO. Whalley did well to challenge the eventual Cup Champions, and were a little unlucky not to have scored late in the match. In any case, I suspect Whalley may be gaining some confidence after the last few matches, and especially after stealing points from Crafty's boys last week. Langley still clinging to the impressive honour of being unbeaten thus far, will look to keep the bagel in the loss column.
PAU vs Poco (Sun. 12:30pm, SSA)
Poco had their GA doubled in one match vs Chilliwack last weekend but still have only let in 6 goals in 7 matches. Definetly a challenge for PAU's strikers this weekend, as they look to somehow find a way through Poco's strength in the back. Always a great match between these two teams out at South Surrey. This week should be no different.
