So Phil informed me that Ryde in their characteristic inconsistency, showed up with less than a full team against Putney, and procedeed to have their arses handed back to them with a 9-0 thrashing.
With that big victory for Putney, we are pushed back into 5th place, where we will play for the Pennant; the crappy team playoff.
The guys should have a good chance of winning it again, as we did last year.
Although it’s disappointing to not have made the final four, I think the guys will feel better about the 1-1 draw on the weekend. For us to have stayed in 4th place, we would have needed an 8-0 win over Kenthurst.
The question was asked about whether or not I’d play in the playoffs, but after seeing even Kenthurst, who were a bit of a pushover first game, getting pretty physical, I’d say there’s buckleys chance that I’d be back to play. All the teams in this year’s competition are just too big for my weakened state. The only exception is Oakhill, but they are just too good.
