What does excite me is who is going to come up from the conference leagues?
The west... without a doubt is becoming a 2 horse race between Exeter and O.G's although i do tip O.G's to squeeze through on experience and having lost No games this Season and only also lost one player from last year (The Chubby Asian lad who played as their Centre half last year with all the skill in the world-Absolutely awesome and lovely to watch but would be amazing if he were fit!) and gained a few very good players in David tyler and James Tweedle and have also retained the evergreen Nic thompson...Definately O.G's to go up!
As for the North again theres very little init and without a question of a doubt a 3 horse race between Belper, Brooklands and Durham uni...however i personally fancy Belper as they retained most of the squad from last year and are increasingly becoming the hardest team to beat and best to watch having watched a few of their games, however brooklands will push them all the way... Belper to win the league!
The east seems to be a difficult one to call at the moment with roughly 5 teams that all have it all to play for...Canterbury at the start of the season being clear favourites (Can you telle im a canturbury fan!) to win in my eyes but have faded just before the Xmas break with yet another South African international aded to thier squad. Oxted have a large squad and have kept Forbsey and Justin king and added another South African from Havant with plenty of experience through Mcdade and have caught mementum in the last few weeks and are a point off top spot. Old Loughts have suprised me and are not the same side they were from a few years back, many new faces and the club maybe going through a transitional stage once again although they had another great season last year with very good players staying at the club in Alex Jennings and James Steadman, surely Mr Higgins the Club Sponser is growing inpatient of silverware and a successful promotion.
Indian Gymkhana seem to be the suprise package this season so far in a tight east league, whether they can mainatin their run is a different story altogether, Having aquired the services of Mani kocher who i have been told left after 4-5 games due to personal reasons. Having also watched their game against Canturbury, they have some very very exceptional individual players in the prolific Tejinder Hanspal who is always a consistent threat and i was personally amazed to see the Not so Chubby anymore lad from O.G's has joined, these two were by far exceptional and a class apart from the others on the pitch and subliminal to watch in the second half and completely ran the show. Could this be their year? will be a difficult team to play and beat?!
Which leaves Sevenoaks, again just one win off the pace but with good wins against Loughts and Canturbury they have clearly stated that they will be in the mix of things. Have some good youngsters in the Barker brothers that have a positive effect on the game if they are playing and a very good Drag flicker in Pete Turner......
Its a difficult call?
But somehow canturbury to win the league based on experience from the Prem!! (Come on lads you can do it!!!)
