By this stage of the game I’ve usually got a clearer idea of who the most likely winners of the series will be. Not this year. What makes this year so confusing? Well, a couple of factors:-
-
Three of the semi finalist teams have already
lost in the competition. Bristol lost to Durham in the first round. Southampton
lost to Durham in the first quarter final. Durham lost to Royal Holloway in their
second quarter final.
-
If you look at the unbeaten team, Royal
Holloway, their stats don’t look anything to write home about. Yet they have
beaten Durham who beat the other two semi final teams. They keep on winning.
-
Although Bristol lost to Durham in the first
round, it was in a very high scoring match and the gap was only 10 points.
Their lowest score was 185, while Royal Holloway’s highest is 170.
-
I don’t know how hey are going to draw who
plays who. My guess would be that the two teams who won straight through to the
semis would be kept apart and play against the two teams who needed three
matches. But I don’t know. My gut feeling is that of the three, Southampton
look most like underdogs. But what do I know?
