Rage rage against the dying of the knock out.
Can you feel how palpable the pressure is? Win - top 4, lose - bottom 4! It's plain and simple and that is the reality of tonight for the 4 games in either Cup and Bowl competitions.
Sure success is measured on how you finish and not how you start but lets be honest, you can't win a trophy if you aren't in the final and a silver medal is the same as last! However, despite our craving for success we are a league for all and everyone is set to win something.
First place: The Internal League Trophy 2007
3rd place: 3rd Place
5th place: The Plate
7th place: The Mug
9th place: The Internal League Bowl 2007
11th place: The Can
13th place: The Funnel
15th place: The Famous Gold Plated Wooden Spoon
Come the 19th September 2007 all this will be up for grabs as each side will battle it out for one of these coveted trophies. As time stands immemorial the Nadoes have held a firm grip on the Internal League Trophy but every year sides surface to try wrestle it from the vice like clutches. This year is no different and the men will be sorted from the boys this evening.
The Wildboys are the current Internal League Bowl holders but they have graduated to higher honours as have the runners up to it last year the Panthers. The title race for the Bowl is a tight one and again the first leg of the race will be run tonight.
The key match ups tonight have to be the Nadoes v Barbarians clash, and the Easterns v Smuts game. Nadoes-Barbarians is a replay of last years finals although both sides are far different from their 2006 outfits. It will be an almighty clash. The Easterns v Smuts clash is off such importance since the winning side will probably find itself with half a hand on the Bowl for 2008.
We're looking forward to fireworks on the Green Mile, and the odd cracker...in a short skirt.
See you on the Mile...
