Round 2

Rising Star

This week's WXV Rising Star nomination goes to London Royals defender Adam Saad who was an emergency last week and got called up to London side for Round 2. Saad managed to pump out a score of 90 which secured him this week's nomination.

Team of the Week

It won't surprise many that Dublin have the most contributors here with 5/15 players from the Irish club. Another forward takes captaincy honours this week in JJK and feel good stories from Buenos Aires with a man who started as an emergency in Easton Wood making the team and everybody's favourite cellar dwellers NDT also getting a contributor. Jarrad Waite, Josh Bruce and Jasper Pittard would be feeling hard done by having had sensational games... for their teams' reserves sides.

D: A.Rance (Dublin), C.Hooker (Beijing), E.Wood (Buenos Aires), T.McDonald (Dublin)
M: N.Fyfe (Vice Capt, Berlin), D.Mundy (Dublin), D.Shiel (PNL), S.Coniglio (New Delhi)
R: T.Goldstein (Dublin)
F: J.J.Kennedy (Capt, New York), J.Ziebell (Toronto), M.Bontempelli (Pacific), D.Martin (Dublin)
I: S.Jacobs (Rio), S.Hill (Rio)

Coach: Holz (Dublin)

I don't even regret that trade  :P

Just look at Fyfe (VC) up there.

Anyways, I bet ya TMac ends up with an 80 average come the end of the year... quote me on this  :P
