4 Metro Centres and 7 Country centres should be a good weekend for all.
Might as well give some odds on the potential winners.
Even Money: Colac always there abouts and have several bowlers with huge experience.
2/1: Shepparton another team with plenty of experience and will be fired up to add a Seniors cup to the other silverware collected over the last few years.
7/2: Geelong this team in the past has always set the standard and they will be hard to beat anytime.
4/1:Bendigo will be the danger team, home ground advantage and will be up for the challenge. This is the danger team and not to be taken too lightly.
6/1: Ed Fleming Lanes, this team could be the surprise packet,however they normally do not travel well.(time will tell) team will arrive early Friday for training session at local hotel.H,mm hope I can cope with the extra training session........
8/1: Mentone, will be the quite achievers and the team having the most fun.
8/1: Geelong Bowlarama, new team on the circuit and have no Idea what they will be like,althou knowing Carmichael he will have them fired up, would guess a lot would have bowled at Geelong so should be very eager to prove how good they are.Match 8 against Geelong will be worth watching.Maybe the whole comp should have a break and watch this fantastic match.Might have to break out the KEG for this one.
9/1:Warrnambool another team with lots of experience and could be the dark horse of the field.
10/1:Melton will give a few teams a run for their money, however don't believe that they have enough depth in their line up to take the Cup. No 1 bowler Ray Hodge did not travel too well at Werribee and Bendigo will not suit this former top Bowler.Great tactician and will have his line ups spot on.
12/1: Werribee not too sure who is bowling and hence have them at these huge odds.Not very often that Werribee is at such big odds. Will be very interested who their bowlers are???
15/1: Morwell another side who at this stage has not named a side. If the likes of Mills, Harrison are in the side then they will and should be at much shorter odds.
Look forward to seeing you all at Bendigo as I said Ed Fleming Lanes bowlers will be there on Friday night and would be great to meet other sides for a quick training session at the LOCAL.
