    In this years opening round of the much (less) awaited Zac Dawson Cup the following versus are in play

    Wagga Wagga Wombats vs Wineglass Bay Packers

    Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles vs Marble Bar Misfits

    Cradle Mountain Devils vs Lovely Banks Lilacs

    Charlies Opening Spelunkers vs Nunawading Nuffers

    Whitsunday Warriors vs Gundagai Grasshoppers

    To those not having had the privilege of being here before, welcome, to those returning to the scene, welcome back.
    Here we celebrate mediocrity whilst plotting to join or rejoin the elite ranks.

    Winner with the lowest score joins the losers, the top 4 scoring winners move on to next week.

    As a newbie to the Zac, how does it work? 9 v 18, 10 v 17 through to 13 v 14 means 5 winners this week with two rounds to go. How does this format lead to four semi-finalists after this week's round? Does the low scoring winner drop out?

    Don't fire the script writer @Len. Multiple groin problems suggest 11 starters, one on an extended Sunday bench and two Emergencies. No confidence among the Cows faithful.

    Delighted though that we should see the debut of Ryan Burton (F) Hawthorn our fourth pick from the 2016 PSD. Did not think we would see him until next year.

    Wow, nice team sNoZ. With recent results and that squad I reckon that if ChiefBet framed a book for lower tier events like the Zac the 'hopers would be the short priced favourite. :D

    Well done Len, the Misfits' team were too strong for the less than optimum herd of Cows we could find to put on the track. Best of luck in the next two rounds.

    One takes what small wins one can get and a first up Zac victory will do it, only just avoided being cut as the lowest scoring winner though so suspect the run will be very short :)

    Spelunkers through with a solid showing in the who gives a shit cup.... becoming more and more certain of whom the bell will be tolling for come end of season.

    Good game @melbandy, special mention to the cheerleaders down the tailings pool end of the ground.
