There must be a few cup round derby's next week, i can think of two cracking games!!

Ressies - Munno Para v Elizabeth Downs - Big local derby

First team - Elizabeth Vale v Elizabeth Grove

Can anyone else think of any????

think both of these games are local yes and the grove vs vale use to be massive, but the grove isnt even a shadow of its former self and struggles to pull a crowd. and im pretty sure the downs arent to worried bout munno para even in the ressies. the games are big for the grove and para, but just another day at it for the big teams. but keep trying to pump up some average contests.

Beach Vs Wanderers.

New rivalry, with plenty of passion.

Just hope Beach don't resort to calling in the ringers again.

We know we struggle to pull a crowd, but we don't normally play the Downs or the Vale, so we will see next Sunday what crowd turns up to see a true local derby.

Average contests? Clearly you don't have any insight into these four clubs. It may be true that, like with any cup competition, the games are 'bigger' for the clubs coming up against clubs in a lower division but I guarantee there will be a lot of feeling out there with a lot of blokes who know each other lining up against each other and bragging rights on the line. On the latter point, the pressure is well and truly on the Div.1 teams to get the win.

Personally I can't wait. I will be hitting the Downs v Para game and then heading down the road for the Vale v Grove and I know a lot of people that will be doing the same. Pump the contests up? Not needed. The crowds will come.

my point is that the downs would not consider munno para as a rival at all. they would treat it as if they were playing any other ressie side. and the vale wont be cocky but its fair to say them and the grove is a thing of the past. grove are a young side and half the team wouldnt even know the history (chikanowski shield)etc. vale will not take it lightly, but would be treating it like they were playing any lower div 2 side, they are the raining cup holders and going for 3 in a row after all.

Well I would leave that for the Downs boys to decide, but I have a feeling you might be a little off the mark.

There are a lot of connections between the two clubs in terms of family (eg. one of the MP coaches son actually plays for the Downs) and friends. Whilst we are in different divisions, many of the players have fronted up against each other or played together at various points (juniors, federation level, etc.). I'm sure this would be a similar story for any two clubs that share close proximity.

Considering that the Downs pull some of the biggest crowds in the first division, Para pull some of the biggest crowds in the third and that both A grade teams are out, I am guessing it's going to be a great day out.

All we really need is the BODO seal of approval and we have ourselves a genuine blockbuster....

Nico,

Ringers.. I play people available to me. Any one who has not played for the A Cup team is available. Are you trying to tell me that your coach wouldn't do the same?

We had two A players last year..and that's all!

grouse n' ice · Post by **grouse n' ice** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:00 pm

We could change our name to West Beach Campanologers.

C'mon nico. Don't be like that.

New_Beach_Driller · Post by **New_Beach_Driller** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:18 pm

Sure Nico,we will all be team mates next year! So we will all be ringers for you then

Just need to change that song though..

tell you now will be playing the downs vs para game and heading to former clubs of mine grove vs vale which i think will pull a bumper crowd all the old schoolers from either club will pop up for this game. Also dont underestimate the grove its a cup game anything can happen thats the joy of the cup round

if they call in the ringers, might make it an even game. I guess the wanderers RING will be burning if this happens.

good luck to both sides!

I reckon the downs might consider it a bit of a derby, its actually been stated in other posts by downs forumites! Also considering we have played them about 4 times already this year, im going to call it a derby!

Ill tell you one thing I cant wait to play, up against the best in the business is always a challange!!

The showdown might nullify the crowd by about 4, considering its a port game!

we have decided to use our b players this year instead of puting out our c team. will be nice to knock them out of the cup for the third year in a row

New_Beach_Driller · Post by **New_Beach_Driller** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:40 pm

We haven't got many C team players available, they are all cup-tied playing for the A's...I will just have to play the trainer upfront again..

Knocked out Wanderers last year, and Fulham/St Peters the year before..so if we win it will be only 2 years in a row! But i reckon Wanderers will be the favourites this year..A good solid B team..with a few A team players drafted in!

Looking forward to the game..

It will be a Hard game for the Wanderers. Beach would have to be favourites. Wanderers dont have any A's drafted in for this one.

The Vale will not be taking this game lightly by any stretch of the imagination last year we were put through our paces in a hard fought final with a division two team Tea Tree Gully City so we cant underestemate them especially after knocking Para west out of the cup, big game and it should be exciting.

Well... I have been hearing different. Hey, if players are not cup-tied then why not play them. Ingle Farm have done if the last two years with fringe A team players

100% Agree. However I can assure you none are available for the Wanderers this year.
