Round 2 of the ORFFW commences Friday afternoon and given some technical difficulties that we hope to overcome tonight, we may require all teams to list their squads in this thread as you may be unable to choose your preferred squad in TS Leagues. Please be aware that we may have no alternatives and hope this is a Round 2 issue only! This post will be updated as we progress and the admins thank everyone for your support and patience. In saying all that, we have some cracking matches this weekend to look forward to! Wongan Hills Wallabies @Schmitty vs Valkeries @That KI Guy The Wallabies were the unluckiest team of last week scoring 910 only to be defeated, while the Valks claimed their first 4 points of the season with a comfortable win Scone Sirens @Tracey vs Manildra Mystix @TheTassieHawk The Mystix juggernaut started season 8 with a comfortable victory and are looking for 2 from 2 against the Sirens who fell short of the Valks last week Junee Jets @Chloe vs Glenbrook Galahs @ver_redit_optatum Both coaches are coming off losses, so at least one team will bank a valuable 4 points to kickstart their season. The Jets had the honour of the lowest score last week so can only improve! Pomona Wood Nymphs @anthak vs Timboon Trailblazers @Peter W The Nymphs were fortunate to have had the Jets first up and will be better for the run, while the Trailblazers caught the Mystix first up and will be looking to open their account. Eastern Park Demons @YAD69 vs Lake St Clair Devils @dmandrews The pitchforks will be out in this one in what should hopefully be a close encounter. One thing is for sure, the game will be HOT! Katanning Krushers @FreoDockers vs Bathurst Belles @Len Both teams got away to a win in round 1 so for one of these coaches the ability to be 2/2 at the start of the year will be a huge boost. Should be a mouth-watering matchup. -------------- the last time these matchup's played out was Round 7 of ORFFW season 2022A where the results were as follows http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=21&round=7&year=2022

At half time of the Scone @Tracey vs Manildra match the home side leads 8/522 to the visitors 7/488. Bringing it home late on Sunday will be A Clarke, Lampard and Parker for the Sirens vs M Prepspakis, Hore and McNamara for the Mystix.
Well at the halfway mark it is somewhat neck and neck, with the Galahs on 383/5 (76.6) and the Jets on 382/6 (63.7) by my numbers. Very exciting stuff from Dupuy: her 120 is the first score over 80 in her career.
In a pretty low scoring affair the Belles @Len are 6/328 (ave 54.6) leading the Krushers 6/303 (50.5). Both teams midfields come out on Sunday so scores should rapidly increase today!
I've adjusted the interchange and assumed the double clarke is a typo leaving that line as entered in tsleagues..
