Down To The Wire

Within a couple of days the mighty forces of Sweden will collide in an awesome display of thrust and counter thrust. The earth will shudder as the impact of warrior against warrior begins. Such a devastating show will let the onlookers know that they are witnessing an almighty spectacle! At the same time as the World Tiddlywinks Championships there will two other intriguing Rugby matches taking place. Yes, you guessed it, the finals will be upon us. First up, the mighty Goteborg Ladies against the formidable amazons from Uppsala. This will also see a battle of minds by the coaches of either team. On the one side is a Scotsman with a renowned reputation as a coach, someone who has tasted success before and true to his race has very short arms and very deep pockets. Which will probably get deeper if they win. But enough about Guy, what about the other coach, I hear you ask? Well the Goteborg coach has a slightly quieter approach to things, even if he does like to go on a bit. Those clever thoughts and ideas behind those dark smouldering eyes. Oscar, the Peruvian battlehip from the men's side, is the complete opposite of the fiery warrior from the Highlands. So whose side will be victorious? The elements could well have a part to play, so we will just watch with bated breath and probably a set of earplugs. 

After the apertif we have the main course, served up in the guise of Stockholm Exiles led by the charismatic Englishman, Paul Sullivan and Enkoping marshalled by the enigmatic Matthew Youngman. Black against White, Good against Evil, this is just the stuff that goes to make a good western. So will the good guys come out on top? or will the Men in Black topple them? This will be close and weather permitting it should be an entertaining match, probably with a few fireworks here and there. If both teams play as well as they can, then there should be plenty to enjoy. There is some good news and some bad news for those Kiwis playing. So, we will spill the beans now. The good news, Wayne Barnes is not refereeing :) the bad news, the referee who is, learn't everything he knows from Wayne. Good luck to both teams!
