Wow, it's been really quiet on the ol' Div. 1 thread of late, so in an attempt to get things going again for the new year, here's my picks for this weekend. Weather dependant of course.
In Div. 1A
Deep Cove Royals v. Richmond Utd. “A”
Deep Cove is making a real push for promotion and, playing on their home pitch, should win this one. I heard a rumour that City was out of town though. Can Richmond turn the corner and get things on track for the rest of the season or are they heading in the wrong direction fast?
DCR 3 Richmond 1
Peg-Olys v. Sikh Temple “A”
The winner of this one should take themselves clear of the relegation zone for good. Not much hs been heard from the Olys boys this year save an occasional post when Fastshow eggs them on. I'll give this one to the Sikh's based on a greater number of posts on TTP. And the Christmas turkey won't affect the younger lads as much either.
Sikhs 1 Peg-Olys 0
Clan Alumni v. City FC “A”
The first of three games that shouldn't really be close. This one won't be.
Clan 5 City 0
Pt. Grey Rangers “A” v. Firefighters “A”
The second - Sigh. Realistically, we're hurting and we'll have to see who can play this weekend...

FF 3 PGR 2
Pacific 96ers. v. Meralomas “A”
The Mermaids took a point off the 96ers last time. It shouldn't be close but I have a bad feeling about this. If the 96ers can keep 11 men on the pitch they'll dominate. If not, who knows. Meralomas are just irritating enough that they might get under the 96ers skins.
I don't really want either team to win but I don't want the Mermaids to get a point either so...
96ers 2 Meralomas 0
And, to be fair to all, I present Div 1B, about which I know very little. I'll probably do better here by just guessing.
AC Milan v. Hagar’s “A”
A win here and Hagar's hopes fly out the window. They didn't really want to go to premier anyway.
ACM 3 Hagars 0
Vancouver Olys “A” v. Shaheen SC
From the standings this one should be a walk. Apparently the Olys have one striker to watch. He'll score all three.
Olys 3 Shaheen 0
PCOV v. West. Union Polska
Que? My only tie 'cause I don't really have a clue.
PCOV 1 Polska 1
Norvan SC v. WFC Bimini’s
Norvan is really young, Bimini's isn't. Old age and treachery will take it.
Bimini's 2 Norvan 1
Lobbans “A” v. Norburn SC
My upset of the week. It also depends who shows up for Norburn. Oh well.
Norburn 1 - Lobbans 0
There you have it. Let the games begin. And, if no one starts posting in the Div. 1 threads, I'll turn PGR Goodtimes loose to start something.
