2004 BJRL U16A Round 13 Preview

Note for "Head-to-Head" performances I have used Redlands for Springwood.

Premiership odds movements are listed below the game title.

The top four has been decided, but the places within in are still up for grabs i this weekend's round of football.

EASTS (7th) v ARANA (5th): Sunday Aug 22 11.15am at Scott Park

PREMIERSHIP ODDS: Easts: Out of contention; Arana: Out of contention (were 100/1 [$101.00])

This Year: Round 6: Easts 21 def Arana 14; Round 13: Arana 28 def Easts 12

Head to Head 2001/4: Arana 6 Easts 1

Last 3 Games:  Easts: Souths W 36-28; Springwood L 10-44; Norths L 12-42

              Arana: Springwood L 20-54; Norths L 26-40; Centenary W 26-12

Easts were forced to forfeit last week with an injury crisis rocking the club, and Arana played with only 14 against Springwood. Nothing left but pride to play for in this game, and Easts will want to perform well in their last home game of the season. Arana dropped a critical game last time they visited Scott Park and will not want a repeat.

NORTHS (1st) v CENTENARY (6th): Friday Aug 20 8.00pm at Bishop Park

PREMIERSHIP ODDS: Norths: Steady at 2/1 ($3.00); Centenary: Out of contention

This Year: Round 6: Norths 18 def Centenary 16; Round 13: Centenary 20 def Norths 16

Head to Head 2001/4: Norths 2 Centenary 2

Last 3 Games:  Norths: Logan Bros D 18-18; Arana W 40-26; Redcliffe W 12-10

                       Centenary: Souths W 32-14; Arana L 12-26; Redcliffe L 4-42

The last game between these two teams provided probably the biggest upset of the year when Centenary lowered the high-flying Devil's colours. The Centenary side are out of contention but the trip to Bishop Park will hold no fears for them. Norths have a top 2 position virtually sealed, however a loss here could cost them the minor premiership.

SPRINGWOOD (2nd) v LOGAN BROS (4th): Friday Aug 20 8.15pm at Tallowood Park

PREMIERSHIP ODDS: Springwood: 2/1 ($3.00) in from 9/4 ($3.25); Logan Bros: Steady at 3/1 ($4.00)

This Year: Round 6: Springwood 24 def Logan Bros 22; Round 13: Logan Bros 24 def Springwood 10

Head to Head 2001/4: Redlands/Springwood 9 Logan Bros 4

Last 3 Games:  Springwood: Arana W 54-20; Redcliffe W 30-16; Easts W 44-10

                Logan Bros: Norths D 18-18; Souths W 46-12; Arana W 24-20

A crucial game for deciding the makeup of the Top 4, this is definitely the game of the round. Both sides have been in good form, although Springwood have looked more clinical in their last few outings. A Logan Bros win could see three teams tied in 2nd place after this round, so for-and-against will be important as well. Should be a ripper of a game.
