6 spots left in donor league http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/donor-league-2019.90376/#E0vbF33BVvkgWygc.97
Slow start in Gisborne, with the Grenades winning the toss and electing to bat. 1/95 is not the worst, but @fresh's bowlers have been tight with their lines. Pitch has a bit in it for the bowlers, but get yourself in and there's runs to be had. Oh, and since the Crocs are yet to bat they are obviously 0/0
New old recruit Dale Thomas has endeared himself to the home fans with a strong start to his Serengeti career as he repels an expected avalanche of Bulls attacks. Early in the match up it is Serengeti 93/1/93 leading the Bulls 58/1/58
Early doors at Flying Fish Cove Park and it's the home side over the visiting Panthers with a 21 point advantage 192/2 to 171/2.
Similar to the situation in Gisborne, the Pitch here was a little worse, being completely waterlogged due to a malfunctioning irrigation system and play was postponed until this evening. So both teams still sit at 0/0......
1/9th of the way through the game in Coolgardie, and the visiting Eden Whalers @HOLKY have shown they've come to play, while the home side are still in JLT mode (who are JLT anyway???) Coolgardie 107 / 2 / 53.5 Eden 196 / 2 / 98
Now 2/9th of the way through the game in Coolgardie, and Eden @HOLKY are continuing to show that they used preseason training to greatly improve the game plan and game style, while the home fans have had little to cheer about, as the team are playing like its still only practice! Coolgardie 257 / 4 / 64.2 Eden 375 / 4 / 93.7 Top scorers are B Parfitt (96) for the Prospectors, and a tie between E Curnow and A Phillips (98) for the Whalers. Bringing up the rear is D Astbury (40) for the home side, and J Crisp (83) for the visitors.
Early in the second at the Sandpit and the home town Sandgropers (280/3/93) lead @Mick ’s Blowflys (269/4/67) by 11 points. The scores are tight but the visitors have been comparatively slow out of the blocks.. Go ‘Gropers!
The home side are in control early as the Bulls are getting out muscled by the Buffaloes @wrightbrendan BUFFS 441/5/88 BULLS 177/3/59
Neither team has really got going yet in Gisborne. Big day coming up for both clubs Grenades 201/2/100.5 led by a Tim "Footy in Melbourne is too easy" Kelly ton Crocs 128/2/64 thanks to Jordan "What's a football look like" De Goey's spud efforts
@tyze1 The Bulls have worked themselves in front with some massive efforts from Salem & Rockcliff inspiring the team Currently Staghorn 692/8/87 lead Serengeti 526/7/75
As is generally the way when these two sides meet - we’ve got a belter on our hands between the Smugglers and Panthers. At 20/30th time, it’s the visiting Pearcedale with the lead - 959/11 (87.2) to the Smugglers 800/9 (88.9).
Rory Sloane has pulled @Mick ’s Blowfys (774/9/86) back into the game, narrowing the Sandgropers’ (906/11/82) lead to 132 points. The bookies have the ‘flys as favourites now, and they should go and win the match unless Fyfe can exceed Rory’s feats. To be fair, if Henry hadn’t have shat the bed Korumburra would be a lot closer with a two player advantage. Still, anything can happen. Go ‘Gropers!
Progress score from The Stadium. Hughenden 789/12 (65.8) leads Banchang 694/9 (77.1) Highest scorers Dahlhaus (BB) 102 Sinclair (BB) 99 Sheppard (HPD) 93 @Batfink
Whilst it's round 1 it could be a long season. Hughenden will need a miracle to get a win out of this game.
Heading into Sunday, it's the Grenades 778/9/86.4 leading the Crocs 748/9/83.1. With both teams still having 6 players to play this one really could swing either way @fresh
