Semi Final Schedule Div 2
Lehigh Indians host Hustlers 2 at Veterans Park
Warriors host Breakaway at Brian Piccolo Park
Preparations for the Hustlers squad is moving along nicely this week with our biggest game of the season against Lehigh Indians CC fast approaching scheduled for this coming Sunday.
Semi final day for all the teams concerned is usually the most competitive game of the season as a loss will mean the end of another season for the losers.
Losing a semi final game is tougher than losing in a final because everybody knows that all your efforts during the season culminate in a one match knockout that can either go your way or dramatically go completely wrong for you. Any team that is fortunate to reach the semi final stage is usually there on merit and there is no weak side to play and all 4 teams stand a good chance of becoming champions of the league. This really is crunch time for all the semi final teams as nobody wants to lose now.
The preparation for the Hustler team is very important to us this time around as we now have to set alarms early, pack snacks earlier, and get our drinks organised well before our usual sunday start time. The biggest problem we will face is when to add ice to our drinks being that it will be such an early start for us. There is nothing worse than having coolers of drink getting warm after all the ice has melted !!
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Lehigh the best of luck this sunday in our game as they have upset a lot of teams this season with wins over other much fancied teams. They have improved to a level this season where they have now become a very dangerous side and we hope our game against them is played in the true spirit of the game. More importantly, we hope the spectators coming out to watch the game enjoy the spectacle and we can both put on a great game of cricket for them to all enjoy.
Good luck to all the other 4 teams involved in Div 1 as well as Warriors v Breakaway in Div 2.
Big win hustlers keep it up.
