Hope they go the divisional road, would hate to see HP go.
The weekend's games all went the way of the favorites. TD tried all day against Berwick but were never in the hunt (bumped into Sheed's whilst there!)
Beacy thumped Officer to jump into third. Narre had a tight battle with the Doves all day before pulling away in the last (4? players sent off, be interesting to see what comes of that) and Cranny comfortably accounting for the Lions. HP with the bye.
There were actually 6 yellow cards in the NW vs Doves game throughout the day. 1 for each team in the first half and another 2 each late in the game.
I believe the only report was for one of the Doves players in the first half, where he was reported by the goal umpire for striking early in the first quarter but wasn't sent off until the start of the second quarter after the goal umpire told the field umpire at the first break - strange situation.
The 4 cards late in the game was unfortunately not a great look for the doves after they started a couple of melee's once NW kicked well ahead and the game was over. They had been so competitive all day with a very young side due to injuries so to finish the game like that was disappointing
