Semi Finals Set To Go in SRFL

 

Quarter Final #1

 

The Wyevale Tribe dispensed of the Wyebridge Wildcats in 3 straight games to earn their birth in the SRFL Semi-Finals.  The Tribe dominated each game from the start, and cruised to victories of 11-0, 14-4, and 11-2.

 

Quarter Final #2

 

The Vasey Countrymen also moved on with a sweep of the Uhthoff Nationals.  Vasey was challenged a bit in Game #3 a 2-1 victory, but 6-0 and 15-0 victories in Games #1 & #2, may have contributed to the let down.

 

Quarter Final #3

 

The hottest team in the SRFL over the past month has been the 5^th ranked Toanche Jr Eagles, and they continued their good play with a convincing 3-0 sweep of the 4^th ranked Perkinsfield Bantus.  12-6 & 14-8 were the scores in the first 2 games, while the 3^rd is unknown to me at this time.

 

This sets up what should be some good Semi Final action.  Semi Finals are best of 5 series’.

 

In the first series the Minesing Jack-O-Lanterns (after receiving a 1^st round bye) will face the red hot Toanche Eagles.  Will the lay off hurt the savvy veterans from Minesing?  Can the Eagles continue their momentum against the SRFL elite?  The next couple of weeks will unveil the answers to these questions.

 

The 2^nd series has the makings of a classic.  The Wyevale  Tribe versus the Countrymen from Vasey.  Vasey has dominated the Tribe over the last several years, including this year, posting a 2-0-1 record against them.  The Tribe will have to be on their game if they are to have a chance in this series.  Expect close well played games as these 2 teams meet in the playoffs for the first time in a while, to renew their rivalry.
