Week 2 games begin this evening. Since no one else seems to be interested in getting some conversation going I'll throw some predictions out there.
SFFC Harris Dodge vs. Westcastle Sagres:
If SFFC are the team to beat in this division as some seem to think, they shouldn't have a problem with West-Sagres. Knowing nothing about these 2 teams except West-Sagres poor result in week 1 I'm going to say 3-1 SFFC.
Saanich Braves vs Gorge United:
Both teams were in tight 1 goal games in week one with Gorge getting the decision in their match and Saanich losing what appears to be a pretty open 5 goal game. I'm going to predict another 1-0 win for Gorge assuming they play a tight defensive game solely based on keeping a clean sheet in week 1.
Lakehill vs. SFFC Molnar:
I predict 2-1 for Lakehill based on they showed they could score goals in week 1, but also seem a little questionable in keeping it out of their own net.
Alberni vs. Hellas:
I won't predict a scoreline for this game as I am in it. But this is definitely the match of the week. Both teams couldn't have asked for a better showing in week 1. Only previous meeting between our 2 teams was last year in the challenge cup semis where Alberni came out on top at home. Travel may play a part in this match for Hellas, but I remember they showed up last year to our field with more players than us. If they are as committed in the regular season as they are in cup games, I don't expect travel to be the deciding factor. Someone commented in a previous thread that Hellas have picked up a few strong players to add to their squad from last season. Alberni have also added some fresh young talent, who I have been told had excellent debuts last week. Alberni will also see the return this week of 2 of their regular starting 11 players who were unavailable in week 1 due to weddings. 1 being their captain (yours truly) and the other being last years Div 3 (A&B) top scorer.
Good luck to all and I hope to hear some predictions or at least some recaps post game.
