DIVISION ONE: Dinot Riders v Norfolk And Chance.
Saturday 7th March 2009, Kick off: 19:00 CET,
at Riders Dome, Denmark.
-------------------------------------------------------------
There is only one place we could be this week and its the game thats dominated this weeks press releases. Dinot Riders host Norfolk And Chance in Division One in a fixture better know as Dinot v Armoth. Already Armoth has claimed Dinot has been on the wine and attending OAP lunches whilst Dinot has claimed Armoth can't even see his own players because of his incredibly long hair! The banter of words has certainly been entertaining, but can the match live up to the billing?

THIS SEASON------------------------------------------------
Dinot Riders have performed excellently in the cup this season and have the opportunity to reach their first ever cup final when they take on AFC Trotters on Wednesday. In the league, they have beaten Edinburgh Wolves before last weekends defeat to current leaders Highland Select.

Last weekends 4-1 victory over chertseychoppers has put them back on track after an opening day defeat at home to Highland Select. Their cup run didn't last too long as they were defeated 1-0 to N.Y.Muggers in the 1st round.

TEAM NEWS----------------------------------------------------
To the relief of the Riders supporters, their only keeper Aimo Lambertini has recovered from a knock and is fit to play. Striker Ove Tovetoft returns from suspension.

Norfolk And Chance defender Zach Kenna has also shaken off a knock to leave Armoth with a fully fit squad to chose from.

PREDICTION----------------------------------------------------
This game may not be a local derby but there is a strong (but friendly) rivalry between the two teams. Both will be desperate to win. The Riders have home advantage, are in the best form and have had the edge in the previous meetings between the two sides but will it be Dinot or Armoth who will be enjoying the post-match glass of whine more?

PREDICTION: 3-1 Dinot Riders.
