Weekend Review

Well what a weekend of upsets in the Super 14 - 4 of the 7 favourites rolled. Slightly miffed to miss out on the Chiefs having backed them more often than not this season, but going against the Brumbies when no-one gave the Highlanders a chance more than compensates. So with that and half my stake matched laying the Cheetahs, the JWOC fund is up to $1,071.80 collected from $1,069.30 bet. My punting skills have so far added value of a whopping $2.50 on the money donated, an outstanding result that has me contemplating a career change.

Congrats to the cricketers for at least making the third test competitive, but I think they will still lose.

Finally, an article in the NZ Herald regarding NZ Soccer's financial result got me thinking and digging - the result being a column at Sportsfreak. Reading in the forum that advance payments by clubs have saved NZ Soccer from going insolvent is even more scary. For soccer's sake I hope I am wrong but Titanic and the iceberg are not far off shaking hands. zc1 zc3
