British XV Round 9 Lodgement and banter thread,

Ringo · May 25, 2015, 09:11:21 PM

After the chaos of Round 8 what will Round 9 have in store for this week.

Round 9 Draw

Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Liverpool Rams @ Todmodern Sports Centre
The question here is which Hedgehogs Team will turn up. Form dictates that Rams should be the favourite but on their day the Hedgehogs are capable of beating anyone. Rams will not want to take them lightly.
Blackpool Bunnies v Huddersfield Hawks @ Bloomfield Road
Hawks should win this comfortably. Bunnies have been a little disappointing this year and with players under-performing coach may have to wield the axe on some stars.
Grope Lane Giants v Staines Steins @ Giant Stadium
Clash of the cellar dwellers. With a home ground advantage can the Giants breakthrough for their first win of the season. At home they may be slight favourites.
Swansea Breakers v Oxford Owls @ Swalec Stadium
Owls suffered a surprise defeat by Cruisers last week. Breakers now sitting in second place on the table and will not be wanting to give it up. Toss of the coin really but Breakers with HGA would be slight favourites.
Birmingham Dragons v Bradford Badgers @ St Andrews Stadium
Badgers were disappointing last week against the Hoods putting out their equal lowest score of the season. The Dragons recorded their highest score of the season against the Giants but will find the Badgers much tougher opposition. The Dragons at home may just get over a depleted Badgers outfit.
Crosby Cruisers v Leeds Leeches @ Ewood Park
8th v 10th here - Leeches Can the Leeches break their sequence of WLWLWL which would favour Cruisers this week. Little separates these 2 teams with points for or against so maybe another game that may be decided by Cruisers home ground advantage.
Winchester Werewolves v Nottingham Hoods @ The Rose Bowl
Probably the match of the round with 1st playing 3rd. Teams only separated by percentage. Hoods seem to have depth this year to cover their injuries but maybe tested by a near full strength Werewolves team. Hoods have been very consistent but will need to bring last weeks form into this match if they are to take top spot from the werewolves.
Hastings Hurricanes v Manchester Magic @ Pilot Fields
Hurricanes on form should win this comfortably. However the Magic at times have shown they can mix it with the best but hard to see them overcoming this in form outfit.

Teams locked at bounce of Swans/Blues game on Friday night

All the best to all teams.
