Newcastle Diamonds V Somerset Rebels - Sun 6th April, 2014. Premiership

[Tsunami 10,219]

Well Sunday should see the first silverware of the PL decided with the second leg of the Premiership Trophy. Will Rebels bring a big lead from tonights meeting at Somerset, or will it be all to play for with a reasonable deficit to overcome.

Should be a good meeting between two competitive teams, if previous meetings are an indicator.

 

Looking forward to it.

 

 

Can sheeter's note that sheeting is planned for 3.00pm, and hoping that there is a reasonable number left at the end of the meeting to pick them back up. It really is important, as the more the merrier and, the easier the job is for everyone. Hope to see you all there.

Tie decided already I think. If Somerset can't defend that score they'll want shooting

[gusworld 15]

A shock 25 point deficit for the Diamonds to overcome. No margin for error now!

The good side, looks like it's going to be a bit warmer tonight. We need a Sheffield.....and then some!

As others have said, I think the deficit from Fridays meeting is going to be just too much for us to overcome, although I do think that we will get a decent win. Friday was a bad day at the office for too many Diamonds, and I think there will be a smart reversal of both teams performances tonight. A good competitive meeting with no injuries will do, as we say goodbye to a trophy that we have recently had a good relationship with.

I think we have better performers around our track, but it will be interesting to see how the Danish lad performs. Big performance on Friday with paid 15, but I don't expect to see that sort of score from him tonight.

Let's hope the celebration of the Rebels promotion is a bit more respectable in their moment of glory. Should be a good meeting.

 

 

Reminder that we need every sheeter to stay behind and pick the sheets up after the meeting. Thanks.

Sheet off!!?

[Chewbacca 653]

I'll go 48-42 to the Diamonds.

If we continue to throw away point after point from scoring positions or daft falls then we will get beat.

That's happened a couple of times at Berwick, if only we could find a way to stop the sun setting in the west.
