Jim Beam Cup Finals - Australian Rugby league News
Back
globalrugbyleague - Thu, 30 Aug 2007 16:10:00 GMTA hot and cold season of Jim Beam Cup footy has resulted in only one new team entering this year’s finals series.
The Entrance managed to sail into the final five in third spot on 32 competition points despite losing their last three fixtures of the year against minor premiers Cabramatta, Windsor and Belrose.
Off the back of a form slump and a $10,000 fine for playing an unregistered player during their round 20 clash against Cabramatta, they are favourites to win less points then the Bulls this weekend and obviously lose.
The ‘J.K Blow of the season’ shield was won by the Belrose Eagles who despite leading the competition table up until the half-way mark – missed out on making their finals debut.
The Eagles were hit by injuries late in 07 and seemingly never recovered. Their 10-point loss in round 21 helped Wentworthville leap in front of them and never look back.
Both the Magpies and the Wolves scored 40 points last week so they will need to prepare for what should probably be a tight, close knit contest on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Trent Rosa is looking to bring back the trophy that Windsor won in 2005 while counterpart Ian McCann and Brett Cook are searching for the Magpies first title in this competition.
The Sydney Bulls are looking to become the first side to win the Jim Beam Cup title back to back. However if history is any guide, the Bulls will fall at the final hurdle and bounce back in 2008.
However the reigning champs only just beat this year’s wooden spoon winners, Seven Hills, by 2-points last Sunday, so don’t write off the Entrance completely.
On their day the Entrance can score plenty of points early in the game to create unassailable leads through point-scoring wizards like Ryan Wheele and Jamen Mcleod.
