This weekend sees the completion of the first half of the 13/14 season as the Boomerangs travel up the Hume Highway along the M5 to Riverwood and to the Morris Iemma Sports Centre to play one of the NSW Premier League’s powerhouse clubs, Inner West Magic. Magic were last year’s Club Championship winners and are generally strong across all age groups, so will present plenty of challenges to the Boomerangs teams.
After six rounds of the 13/14 season, Inner West sit second on the Club Championship table with a number of teams leading their age groups, including the 12 boys and girls and the 16 girls. Their 14 boys are sitting in equal second position on the league table and their 14 girls equal fourth. Their only apparent weakness is in their 16 boys (with only one win from six matches so far) and their Open Women’s team with two wins from six games played.
The weekend will certainly be a challenge for all Boomerangs teams and they will need to be at their best to take home points from this crucial round.
At the top of the tree, the Boomerangs Open Men’s team still lead the competition, with the Futsalroo-laden Magic team in equal third (which may be second or third after two catch up matches played tonight and tomorrow night – Magic v Phoenix Thursday 21 Nov, and Dural v Mascot Friday 22 Nov). For the Boomerangs men’s team, this will likely be the toughest challenge to date this season and Magic will push them all the way. If the Boomerangs Open Women’s team can assemble a full squad for this away game and play to their potential, they should – on form – overcome the Magic Women.
