OCTOBER REVIEW |
|||||||||
|
One month has passed since the season kicked off; already the tables are
taking shape and the cups are getting started. So who have been the
winners and the losers in September and what can we expect in October.
In division one last seasons runners up Widcombe Wanderers have already shown their intent to go one better by not only being top of the league with 4 wins from four but they have also beat last seasons champions BSXI which has made things very interesting. however you would be a fool to write of BSXI chances just yet as they seek a third consecutive championship. Woodland Rangers many peoples dark horses for the title have lived up to that billing with 2 wins from 2 including a 6-1 hammering of previous champions Thornbury. Pip n Jay, Counterslip, BUCU Santos and Nailsea all have one win under their belts but have already dropped points. Thornbury have yet to get their squad of young players into gear and Christchurch are surprisingly the only team in both divisions to not have a point. Due to cup commitments there is only one weekends of action left in the league the big game will likely be Woodlands V Santos with Dave Peregrine facing his old club for the second time this season. In division two The Sanctuary have slammed down an early season marker not only are they on 4 wins from 4 they also did it in style with a 6-0 hammering of local rivals Hillfields in their own backyard, new signing Ricky Bush looks to have added that extra spice Sanctuary were lacking last season. Hot on their heels is Rock with three wins from three but they have toiled to some tight victories. In third place is the big surprise so far BS4 who have 8 points and are unbeaten, a far cry from the team who lost every game last season. Next is Widcombe who recently lost their unbeaten tag to Hillfields, they will be however looking to keep on the heels of the front runners. Early season favourites SAS and Welton have struggled and are off the pace, but they do remain unbeaten. Hayhill and Hillfields who finished third and forth last season respectively have both taken big defeats but both won their first games of the season so will hope that will be a springboard for the season. New boys Israel have a win under their belts but they have lost to the top two since then. Kensington, Pistols, C3 and Gordano all have a point and complete the table. In October the pick of the games has to Welton V SAS on 11th and Rock V SAS on 18th. In the Cup the first round proper starts this Saturday, BSXI facing Counterslip and Sanctuary facing Rock are the pick of the fixtures. In the GFA Hillfields and Israel are out but everyone else progress to Round two
