DIVISION
ONE: Shawfield Reborn v Ross County Reserves,
Saturday 31st January
2008, Kick off: 19:00 CET,
at Shawfield Park,
Sweden.
-------------------------------------------------------------
As
we enter the final weekend of the season, there is still one promotion
place available. Shawfield Reborn have dominated the division and baring a
cricket score defeat they will clinch the Division One title tomorrow
evening. Ross County hope to join Adhogan's side in the top flight next
season, but their place among the elite isn't secure yet - a draw would be
enough to seal consecutive promotions but a defeat will give a chance for
Dinot Riders to take 2nd place.
THIS
SEASON--------------------------------------------------
This
season is a complete reversal for Shawfield. Last season they struggled
badly and were cast adrift at the bottom of the Norfolk League. The
arrival of Adhogan as manager has transformed their fortunes and attitude
though. Eight wins from their first 10 games set up their promotion push
and they sealed their spot in the Norfolk league next season last weekend.
In the cups they have also been excellent. On Wednesday they clinched
their first trophy with a league cup triumph. They came close in the
Trophy too, but Dutch Warriors were too strong in the final on that
occasion.
Just like Adhogan, MacLeod's impact on Ross County has
also been superb. Under many different managers and names, Ross County
were the wipping boys struggling around the lower reaches of Division Two.
Under MacLeod though, they secured immediate promotion to Division One
last term, and now they stand on the verge of another. They have tussled
with Dinot Riders for 2nd spot all season but last weeks results have
given them a 3 point cushion. They also produced their best cup fun by
reaching the semi final of the league
cup.

TEAM
NEWS----------------------------------------------------
Shawfield
are still missing defender Dimitri Breznjev. Striker Alfred Yole is also
unlikely to feature through injury.
County defender Jerrard Beer is
absent but Martin Wardley is likely to
return.
PREDICTION----------------------------------------------------
Ross
County need a result more than their opponents who are still likely to be
on a high from their midweek cup tromuph. These teams know each other very
well and Shawfield have had the edge winning 3 of their 4 previous
meetings this season. Both have been in good form recently in the
league.
PREDICTION: 2-1 Shawfield
Reborn.
