Southern Union Rugby Championship

ABOUT SURC
The Southern Union Rugby Championship is an annual professional men's rugby union football competition in the Southern Union with teams located in Ianoia, Koana Islands and Günsovölk. Each country has six teams in their own division within the Championship. The schedule for each team consists of home and away legs between teams within their own division (10 games), as well as either a home or an away match against the 12 teams from the other two countries (12 games) for a 22-game schedule. At the end of the regular season, the top team from each division and three best remaining teams participate in the play-offs to decide the winner.

Each team can only sign youth players from their own region, and that player tied to the club throughout their career. However, once a player becomes eligible through the team releasing the player to free agency, they are free to sign for any team within the Championship.

The competition was officially founded in 1995, but began play in 1996 following negotiations between the three nations to create a unified continental tournament after failing crowds and poor finances amongst domestic competitions prompted the calls for a fresh start. Rugby union had just made large strides in professionalism around the world. New competitions, such as the Super 12 in the southern hemisphere, and the Heineken Cup in the northern hemisphere, had started up. It was no different in the Southern Union, where a group of team owners and businessmen wanted an improved product that was fast losing fans to baseball and football.

Despite much debate, an initial league of 18 teams - six in each country - was officially finalised and the opening fixtures were scheduled for March 1996.

RULES
The Championship follows all normal conventional rules of Rugby Union around the world with one exception; the Fly-Half position must be goal-kicker.

- Winning a game will earn a team 4 competition points, and a tie 2 points for each team.
- If a team scores four or more tries in a game, they will get an extra point in the standings.
- If a losing team loses by seven points or fewer, they will get a bonus point. So, for example, a losing team can get 0, 1, or 2 points in the standings for a game, while a winning team can get 4 or 5 points.

PLAYOFFS
Each division winner at the end of the season will be seeded #1, #2 and #3 in the play-offs, based on points accumulated during the season. In the event of a tie, teams will be ranked based on Point Difference, Points For and finally Tries scored.

The next three best teams in the competition - regardless of which division they are in - are then ranked 4th through 6th, using the same tiebreakers as above.

Elimination Round
Game 1: #3 seed vs #6 seed
Game 2: #4 seed v #5 seed

Semi-Finals
Game 3: #1 seed vs lowest ranked winner in the Elimination Round
Game 4: #2 seed vs highest ranked winner in the Elimination Round

Championship Final (held at a pre-determined venue)
Game 5: Winner of Game 3 vs Winner of Game 4

1996 Ianoia Division Preview
__________

Team: Burstwick Foxes
Ground: Vista Park, Burstwick (18,000)
Manager: Jack Gulley
Players: 1. Anthony Ryan, 2. Peter Annis, 3. John Orpen, 4. Garry Eastburn, 5. Mark Bruce, 6. Philip Normington, 7. Matthew Holmes, 8. Jonathan Morgan, 9. Tim Smith, 10. Philip Haydock, 11. Jake Griffith, 12. William Parkes, 13. Andrew Roe, 14. Graham Benison, 15. John Gardner

Burstwick has built a formidable attacking team, with Fly-Half Philip Haydock and Outside Flanker Matthew Holmes expected to do the bulk of the work this season. Fullback John Gardner is the star of the backline, which is a little weak on both Wings with Jake Griffith and Graham Benison looking like the biggest weaknesses of this squad. Tighthead Prop John Orpen is the standout in an average scrum that is very weak defensively, so you can expect other teams to exploit this weakness of the Foxes.

20-year old Carlton Coll will be playing his first - and last - season in the youth team, as he looks to break into the squad next year. The Fullback could see himself traded away, as displacing Gardner could be a tough ask. Keep an eye out for Number 8 Aidan Davy and Hooker Iestyn Avenue, both 19, who could see action in a few years time.

Prediction: 1st (Division winner). This team is ready to challenge now and are Ianoia's biggest chance ahead of Ilford.

__________

Team: Ilford Cougars
Ground: Cinder Stadium, Ilford (20,000)
Manager: Lenny Clarke
Players: 1. Gary Fox, 2. William Fleming, 3. Colin Cunliffe, 4. Antony Hudson, 5. Nigel Everett, 6. David French, 7. Gerald Bass, 8. Brian Allen, 9. Marc Chivers, 10. Stephen Brain, 11. Derek Scott, 12. Andrew Bamforth, 13. Andrew Lowe, 14. Simon Yates, 15. Don Tran

Ilford can boast some decent talent in their team, such as David French and Gerald Bass, but otherwise they are a slightly above-average team, that is strong in the forwards and slightly below average in the backs. The Centers of Bamforth and Lowe are the crucial to the Cougars' success this season, with the former hitting 33 years old this season and clearly declining. Stephen Brain has the kicking duties and is good enough with the boot to keep Ilford in most games. Don't expect him to do much else offensively though, as the 30-year old has a much more defensive mindset.

The Second Row of Antony Hudson and Nigel Everett needs to be looked at for next season, with Hudson in particular being compared to youngster Adam Doyle in the youth team. At the tender age of 19, Doyle is one of only two standout players in the farm, the other being Inside Center Quincy Fraser who becomes a free agent next season and will surely replace Andrew Bamforth.

Prediction: 2nd. The below average backline could hurt Ilford's chances at a play-off spot as they could easily drop results to other teams within the division.

__________

Team: McCutchen Wolves
Ground: Bridge Road, McCutchen (30,000)
Manager: Dermott Bacon
Players: 1. Nicholas Finch, 2. John Sergeant, 3. Peter Rhodes, 4. Terence Smithson, 5. Alan Craig, 6. Donald Smith, 7. Peter Gillett, 8. Liam Toolan, 9. David Yardley, 10. Barry Hill, 11. Kevin Leedham, 12. Roy Brown, 13. Jon Potter, 14. Daniel Mountford, 15. John Hibberd

A relatively young team, the Wolves are clearly in transition. The wingers of Kevin Leedham and Daniel Mountford are 21 and 23 years old respectively and will undoubtedly form the backbone of this team for years to come. However, Hooker John Sergeant and Fullback John Hibberd are a bit out of their depth, and despite their tender ages, need to see a marked improvement during the season. Second Row Alan Craig is the best attacking man going forward, but at 30 years of age, McCutchen cannot rely on him forever.

20-year old Tighthead Prop Tyler Willson will certainly be playing for the Wolves next season, replacing 31-year old Peter Rhodes. Willson is a future superstar and people are watching him with much interest. Fly-Half Les Johnston is only 17, but can seemingly convert tries from anywhere on the pitch. He needs to improve his attack and defence, but watch out for him in years to come.

Prediction: 6th. The bad outweighs the good in this team and they are probably the worst team both offensively and defensively in the division, and possibly even the entire Championship.

__________

Team: Oldstead Irish
Ground: Hawthorne Lane, Oldstead (25,000)
Manager: Jake Shepherd
Players: 1. Ian Foster, 2. John Lewis, 3. Philip Forshaw, 4. Chris Corke, 5. Daniel Tamplin, 6. Ian Scott, 7. Shaun Smith, 8. John Errington, 9. Alan Riley, 10. Martin Taylor, 11. Matthew Ware, 12. Lyndon Hunt, 13. David Coombes, 14. Russell Cleaver, 15. Michael Wainwright

A solid all-round team, Oldstead has a very good forward pack, with 23-year old John Lewis possibly the best Hooker in the league. Even the older guys like 33-year old Second Rower Chris Corke and 30-year old Number 8 John Errington are still on the top of their game. The Halfs of Alan Riley and Martin Tyler provide good offensive output, but don't expect to see the Wingers or Matthew Ware or Russell Cleaver make the highlight reels too frequently.

Irish have a bit of a dilemma going into next season, with Outside Flanker Hughie Hawkins about to hit 21-years of age in the youth team. Shaun Smith is arguably better defensively, which may mean Hawkins may have to be shipped off as trade bait. The same argument could be made for Centers Cory Nelson and Douglas Sherwood who need to impress this season to force their way into the team next year.

Prediction: 3rd - just. Oldstead's slightly better defence puts them ahead of Ulcombe in the standings, but a gambling man would steer clear of predicting 3rd, 4th and fifth in Ianoia.

__________

Team: Ulcombe Bears
Ground: Lydon Meadows, Ulcombe (19,000)
Manager: Douglas Warwick
Players: 1. Graham Guest, 2. Lee Ball, 3. Peter Alder, 4. Peter Bushell, 5. Ian Dalton, 6. Ben Jacobs, 7. Medwyn Jones, 8. Warrick Taylor, 9. Mark Forester, 10. Alan Harper, 11. Graham Feary, 12. Mark Russell, 13. Martin Clare, 14. Thomas Hatfield, 15. Richard Ashley

Despite the excellent goal-kicking of Alan Harper and Second Rower Ian Dalton's attacking prowess, the Bears need to sure up defensively if they are to challenge for a play-off spot this season.

Winger's Thomas Hatfield and Graham Feary are very attack-minded, just like Peter Bushell and Medwyn Jones, which tends to leave the backline struggling during fast, open play. The forward pack is also getting on a bit in years, and could see decline in the coming seasons which could hurt Ulcombe a lot more than other teams.

Loosehead Prop Tom Reid is the lone player reaching 21 years of age next season, but he will almost certainly become available as a free agent, seeing as Graham Guest is two-years his senior and a much more talented player. Hooker Ashley Ashman, Second Rower Finley Hutton and Fullback Les Paterson will all make the jump within a year or two.

Prediction: 4th. Ulcombe are probably the second best team in the attacking half, but their defending leaves a lot to be desired, and high-scoring games will be aplenty.

__________

Team: Warnborough Whitecaps
Ground: The Ponds, Warnborough (20,000)
Manager: Trevor Miller
Players: 1. David Barker, 2. Stephen Place, 3. Tim Murfitt, 4. Adam Davies, 5. Mark Butcher, 6. Nicholas Bramall, 7. Paul Woods, 8. Andy Hacker, 9. Matthew Stone, 10. Richard Collins, 11. Samuel Hyman, 12. Geoffrey Lord, 13. Mark Steele, 14. Steve Bolton, 15. Denis Fay

The Whitecaps have gaping holes in their line-up that prevents them from seriously challenging for a play-off berth. Fullback Denis Fay (23), Left Winger Samuel Hyman (23) and Tighthead Prop Tim Murfitt (24) are superstar players, with a lack of a team around them. Outside Flanker Paul Woods is out of his depth, whilst Second Rower Adam Davies should be replaced. Most players are weak at either attacking or defending, and this imbalance is going to give headaches to the fans watching.

However, they have a slew of solid players coming through the ranks in the junior teams such as the Halfs of Corey McFarlane and Paul Prince. Prince is a little weaker with the boot than Richard Collins, but will probably replace the 32-year old next season. Fullback Adam Clarke will probably be surplus to requirements.

Prediction: 5th. The squad has the makings of a fantastic team, but the holes that need repairing are far too huge to patch up this season.

1996 Günsovölk Division Preview
__________

Team: Geldstadt Warriors
Ground: Ludwigsparkstadion, Geldstadt (23,000)
Manager: Andreas Kloepsch
Players: 1. Lorenz Koch, 2. Hansl Zahn, 3. Maternus Kraus, 4. Nick Richter, 5. Barnabas Wolff, 6. Hieronymus Schumacher, 7. James Kieffer, 8. Noel Keiser, 9. Kolomon Boehm, 10. Klaus Beck, 11. Bjorn Wolfe, 12. Artus Zimmer, 13. Henning Cahn, 14. Clemens Hertz, 15. Geoffrey Rosenzweig

Geldstadt will enter the 1996 season as huge underdogs knowing any chance of a playoff berth is slim to none. Fullback Geoffrey Rosenzweig is the lone stand-out in the team, but at 33-years of age his days will be numbered. His poor defensive ability means the rest of the backline needs to step-up, but no one seems capable of doing so. Youngster James Kieffer is out of his depth in the Outside Flanker role and Artus Zimmer suffers with similar problems as the Outside Center. Klaus Beck is a capable goalkicker and will be relied on for much of the season with penalty goals.

The Warriors do have some interesting talent coming through the ranks as early as next season with Right Winger Mark Brown and, Blindside Flanker Vid Koester and Tighthead Prop Virgil Ruge all expected to make the team next year.

Prediction: 5th. This team is in transition at the moment, and anything above 5th in the division would seemingly be a miracle.

__________

Team: Heftig Mountaineers
Ground: Westend Stadion, Heftig (19,000)
Manager: Detlev Wahr
Players: 1. Godfried Beier, 2. Justin Kuhnt, 3. Veit Yost, 4. Pankratz Mehlinger, 5. Melchior Miller, 6. Stein Young, 7. Mathius Young, 8. Raynard Geswein, 9. Yohann Schwartz, 10. Ulin Brown, 11. Lorenz Stauffer, 12. Dagobert Reinhardt, 13. Segfried Jaeger, 14. Manuel Hecht, 15. Luigi Kohl

An ageing squad leaves Heftig with a *ahem* mountain to climb before they can turn their fortunes around and push for a play-off berth. Melchior Miller in the Second Row is the lone standout, with his defensive expertise expected to come in very handy for a team that is no real threat going forward. Left Winger Lorenz Stauffer and Manuel Hecht on the opposite side will be the Mountaineers best chances of scoring from a backline depleted of strong attacking talent.

Outside Flanker Bastian Martin and Scrum Half Engelbert Hunsberger, both 19, could make the step up as early as next season from a junior team that is lacking a lot of meaningful talent.

Prediction: 4th. Despite the teams weaknesses, the weak division gives Heftig an opportunity for a mid-table finish within the division.

__________

Team: Kuntzvoll Rams
Ground: Energiearena, Kuntzvoll (24,000)
Manager: Louis Cramer
Players: 1. Barnabas Womeldorff, 2. Gallin Nachtman, 3. Hermann Braun, 4. Caspar Oliver, 5. Freddi Bahr, 6. Urs Renner, 7. Bryan Brown, 8. John Gardner, 9. Anton Denk, 10. Matthias Young, 11. Hugo Young, 12. Joss Arnold, 13. Albert Kemper, 14. Eustace Hester, 15. Urs Meyer

Unlike Heftig above, the Rams suffer defensively, with both forwards and backs not showing much impetus for defence. Despite Hooker Gallin Nachtman and Tighthead Prop Hermann Braun showing strong defensive ability, manager Louis Cramer will also rely on Fly-half Matthias Young to spark things at both ends of the field. Fullback Urs Meyer has fantastic speed and will surely cross for a few tries this season, but his lack of tracking back could see the Rams conceding an awful lot.

Michael Rucker is a fantastic young fly-half which will give Kuntzvoll an interesting decision next season: stick with veteran Matthias Young, or go for the junior?

Prediction: 3rd. Don't let this prediction fool you, third is achievable, but first or second is a million miles away.

__________

Team: Shoof Bombers
Ground: Jahnstadion, Shoof (27,000)
Manager: Benjamin Schenker
Players: 1. Mathius Mayer, 2. Herbert Schuchardt, 3. Swen Stoltz, 4. Daniel Cooper, 5. Marcel Oberhammer, 6. Steve Berg, 7. Holger Keller, 8. Friedrich Keller, 9. Edwyn Kratt, 10. Nicolas Silverman, 11. Timotheus Rhodes, 12. Cort Kreissig, 13. Rüdiger Wenzel, 14. Rickard Schulz, 15. Lambert Unterzuber

A team that struggled to sign a squad to start the season, Shoof are a real threat of going winless all season. Hooker Herbert Schuchardt is the main-man at the attacking end of the pitch, with Left Winger Timotheus Rhodes expected to chip in, too. Defensively the backline are all below average and only Holger Keller the Outside Flanker has strength in defence. Number 8 Friedrich Keller is only 21, but many see him as somewhat of a liability for a team void of any creativity in the backline.

The Junior team does have some interesting talent though, with two Second Rowers in Gerrit Fehr and Erwin Linder expected to make the senior team next season. They share similar attacking philosophies as Right Winger Heyg Weiss who could replace Rickard Schulz next season. The three of them could really give the Bombers offence the shot in the arm that it needs.

Prediction: 6th. It's going to be close between Shoof and Geldstadt for last place, but Nicolas Silverman isn't as good with the boot and that will hurt the Bombers.

__________

Team: Sorgenfrei Roosters
Ground: Vogelgesang, Sorgenfrei (24,000)
Manager: Gerd Schoeller
Players: 1. Sepp Hansen, 2. Archibald Springer, 3. Tom Rhodes, 4. Sepi Hansen, 5. Eckert Schacht, 6. Axel Martin, 7. Leo Berens, 8. Conrad Kiesler, 9. Tommy Winter, 10. Waggoner Platz, 11. Eligius Goldberg, 12. Bergen Kaufman, 13. Pepin Krech, 14. Humphrey Siedlmayer, 15. Frank Miller

Sorgenfrei have all-star and legend of the game Pepin Krech who at 31 is probably the best player in the Championship. Whilst he will certainly be an integral part of the squad, the Roosters can also rely on Right Winger Humphrey Siedlmayer and Blindside Flanker Axel Martin for support in defence. Alongside Krech is Bergen Kaufman who's defence needs work, but his attacking flair is certainly something to behold.

The junior team also has Dietmar Hofmann - a Second Rower - who will make the jump into the first team next year to probably replace 30-year old Eckert Schacht. Fullback Ebolt Horn will also likely make the senior squad for the same reason as Frank Miller seems to be declining.

Prediction: 2nd. Sorgenfrei and Tapfer are well clear of the rest of the division, but I think Sorgenfrei will easily make the playoffs, even if they do only finish second. Speedy Right Winger Niklas Schmidt will be the standout on the attacking front, whilst the reliable Mayer Kaiser at Fullback will need to be on his game defensively - an area Tafer don't excel at.

__________

Team: Tapfer Hurricanes
Ground: Seelenbinder Stadion, Tapfer (18,500)
Manager: Brendan Krueger
Players: 1. Alexander Miller, 2. Gotthold Tampke, 3. Waldo Fisher, 4. Lancelot Fisher, 5. Drew Ficker, 6. Eberhard Brown, 7. Wendell Wolter, 8. Phillipp Herman, 9. Mathis Herman, 10. Dagobert Mayo, 11. Geoffrey Schroeder, 12. Chris Reski, 13. Odell Freund, 14. Niklas Schmidt, 15. Mayer Kaiser

A solid squad across the forward pack and backline, the biggest weakness is up front, with Loosehead Prop Alexander Miller and Tighthead Prop Waldo Fisher the biggest weaknesses despite being above average in the league. Dagobert Mayo isn't the most proficient player with the boot, which could hurt the Hurricanes in the play-offs, or even against division rivals Sorgenfrei which Brendan Krueger will need to manage.

Harri Otto will make the jump to the senior team next season to replace the ageing Waldo Fisher, with most expecting him to become a legend of the game. Number 8 Konstantin Heine might get the nod next year over Phillipp Herman which could sure up the team defensively at the expense of some attacking potency.

Prediction: 1st. This squad can go the distance this year. Some of the older guys will start dropping away as early as next year so the window for a Championship is fast closing.

1996 Koana Islands Division Preview
__________

Team: Ivyvirke Hawks
Ground: Alevallen, Ivyvirke (17,000)
Manager: Lorens Hallstrom
Players: 1. Hannes Fjord, 2. Magnus Alfven, 3. Henri Uhlgren, 4. Michael Taube, 5. Lorens Kjellberg, 6. Daniel Ketola, 7. Yngve Ottestad, 8. Abraham Haug, 9. Jacob Rolf, 10. Halvar Knutson, 11. Jonam Nasberg, 12. Sebastian Broberg, 13. Jesper Osterqvist, 14. Matteus Högdin, 15. Petter Skold

Ivyvirke enters the 1996 season with one big weakness - the forward pack. Despite Second Rower Michael Taube's excellent defensive work rate, the team really lacks talent in the forwards, relying on Inside Center Sebastian Broberg and Fullback Petter Skold with the latter's defensive positioning saving the side from many blushes. Blindside Flanker Daniel Ketola is a real star, but gets let down with Yngve Ottestad alongside him. The youngster needs to improve over the coming seasons and fast.

Ivyvirke does have a really superstar in their farm system however, with Fly-Half Linus Alander ready to make the step-up next season. It's believed Halvar Knutson has been given an ultimatum this year: perform or go to free agency. Whoever the Hawks go with next season, another team will surely pick up a solid goal-kicker under the age of 25.

Prediction: 2nd. Ivyvirke's poor options going forward will hurt them in the long-term, but good defensive structure easily sees them in the top-half.

__________

Team: Ny Aucklanda Miners
Ground: Ginstavallen, Aalen (24,000)
Manager: Artur Martinpelto
Players: 1. Alberik Swartling, 2. Alf Gustavsson, 3. Sixten Bloomberg, 4. Otto Martinpelto, 5. Alex Kihlstedt, 6. Sven Tornquist, 7. Jens Wiik, 8. Melker Agardh, 9. Mats Arnfeldt, 10. Albin Samuelsson, 11. Lars-Bjorn Hultman, 12. Jon Strenius, 13. Karl Egerman, 14. Jacob Bergson, 15. Ricard Lindkvist

The weight of Ny Aucklanda's expectations this season fall on the shoulders of Outside Flanker Jens Wiik. The 32-year old is a household name in Koanian rugby and the Miners need him firing on all cylinders this season if they are to squeeze into the play-offs. Right Winger Jacob Bergson will also carry some of that burden, and potentially the rest of it as Wiik is starting to get on in years. Fullback Ricard Lindkvist and Number 8 Melker Agardh are the biggest weaknesses and will need strengthening if Ny Aucklanda want to regularly challenge for top spot in the division.

Despite their few star players, Ny Aucklanda is awfully weak in the farm system with only Tighthead Prop Peder Parmander ready to make the jump next season. The 20-year old faces stiff competition from Sixten Bloomberg though, so he may end up in free agency.

Prediction: 3rd. A much more complete team compared to Ivyvirke, Ny Aucklanda's weaknesses will hurt them a lot more than Ivyvirke.

__________

Team: Omfattandestad Razorbacks
Ground: Malmbergets, Omfattandestad (27,000)
Manager: Alvin Alfven
Players: 1. Erik Breinholst, 2. Hannes Zilliacus, 3. Max Lennartsson, 4. Kenny Taube, 5. Jon Jonasson, 6. Ragnvard Byström, 7. Wilhelm Anderberg, 8. Per-Olaf Lönnrot, 9. Efraim Weibull, 10. Bernd Bjorkman, 11. Elliot Stromberg, 12. Olaf Stromberg, 13. Per-Olaf Berndsson, 14. Anton Jorgensson, 15. Fabian Lundahl

The most complete team in the Southern Union Rugby Championship, the Razorbacks boast a wealth of talent, including Blindside Flanker Ragnvard Byström and Inside Center Olaf Stromberg, 30 and 31 years old respectively. That's not to say this team is without flaws, with the backline posing no real threat going forward and a Number 8 (Per-Olaf Lönnrot) that is still maturing as a player. This team is scary on paper but age is against them, so the window to win is now.

The Razorbacks junior system is quite poor. Fly-Half Kalle Karlsen is only 19 but could develop into a future star, whilst Outside Center Jean Olmqvist is defenively minded and could do a decent job with another year of development.

Prediction: 1st. Omfattandestad have a win now mentality and anything less than the championship could see Alvin Alfven looking for a new job.

__________

Team: Stondon Penguins
Ground: KoaTel Arena, Stondon (23,500)
Manager: Frederek Gansah
Players: 1. Mats Ljungdahl, 2. Kaj Lindholm, 3. Mats Snadberg, 4. Elias Knutsen, 5. Helmar Lindkvist, 6. Patrik Markusson, 7. Efraim Halvorsen, 8. Petter Aberg, 9. André Fredriksen, 10. Benedikt Tomasson, 11. John Almquis, 12. Alfons Kronberg, 13. Per-Axel Hallestrøm, 14. Dennis Johannessen, 15. Kjell Bentzer

Manager Frederek Gansah has his work cut out for him making this team competitive. Defensively they are sound, the forwards are excellent in that department and you can expect to see Inside Center Alfons Kronberg and Right Winger Dennis Johannessen making crucial tackles throughout the season. However, going forward this team is woeful, Left Winger John Almquis has fantastic pace and is the only real threat, with everyone else below average when it comes to positioning in the final third. The Flankers of Patrik Markusson and Efraim Halvorsen are not cut out for this level of rugby, but at least the latter has age on his side, Markusson is 27. Expect to see him replaced next year.

Stondon aren't terrible in the Second Row, but they do have juniors Stig Danielsen and Anton Ødegård ready to make the jump up next year. If they are surplus to requirements, Stondon could easily get some decent return either in the way of more prospects or improving those Flanker positions.

Prediction: 5th. The lack of attacking options hurts Stondon, but their strong defensive mentality should see them staying relevant for much of the season.

__________

Team: Viksida Spartans
Ground: Grenadjärvallen, Viksida (20,000)
Manager: Jon Bakke
Players: 1. Vilgot Samuelsson, 2. Jan Borrman, 3. Michael Ekström, 4. Gorin Olmqvist, 5. Espen Cristersson, 6. Erik-Johan Johncke, 7. Gustaf Jensen, 8. Petter Hormertz, 9. Lars-Erik Zachrisson, 10. Robin Ylander, 11. Ludvik Svartvadet, 12. Lennart Wedlund, 13. Svenbjom Fagerholm, 14. Simon Lundahl, 15. Torkel Tjarnqvist

The Spartans, like Stondon above, have weaknesses in attack but are quite sound defensively. Outside Flanker Gustaf Jensen will create many scoring opportunities whilst you can expect solid input from Right Winger Simon Lundahl and Blindside Flanker Erik-Johan Johncke. The left side of Ludvik Svartvadet (Left Wing) and Lennart Wedlund (Inside Center) however, is very poor and you can expect most opposition to be targeting that side every game which will put Fullback Torkel Tjarnqvist under immense pressure most games; something he isn't quite ready to do.

Hannes Ronnberg is a great up and coming junior in the Fullback position and will certainly make good trade bait for the Spartans who will be looking at fixing that left-hand side defensively. Second Rower Gustav Söderstrom is nearly ready for promotion to the senior squad, and could also be traded away if Viksida stick with their current pairing.

Prediction: 4th. This team has some great young talent that should develop and be a really threat in a couple of seasons time. Until then however, 4th place seems most likely.

__________

Team: Vizhune Gators
Ground: SkogArena, Vizhune (24,000)
Manager: Ulf Cederberg
Players: 1. Theo Olafsson, 2. Maklolm Knutson, 3. Oliver Zettesberg, 4. August Hilden, 5. Lorens Mattiasson, 6. Per Nowen, 7. Frederek Arnfeldt, 8. Gabriel Lönnrot, 9. Halvar Sjöland, 10. Adrian Dackell, 11. Tore Johncke, 12. Viktor Amundsson, 13. Hannes Szalkai, 14. Lennart Höglund, 15. Oskar Parnevik

Vizhune are stuck between a rock and a hard place; they don't have great talent on their roster, and their all too old to hope they develop. Outside Center Hannes Szalkai is the future of the team at just 23 years of age and is the only real potent threat in the final third. Scrum Half Halvar Sjöland and Hooker Maklolm Knutson are ageing stars, but Tighthead Prop Oliver Zettesberg and Inside Center Viktor Amundsson are both out of their depth. Adrian Dackell had got kicking duties and is probably the weakest goal-kicker in the competition.

The Gators do have some talent in their system that is on the cusp of greatness, though. Prop Knud Sahlstein will almost certainly replace Zettesberg next year, whilst Scrum Half Theodor Boberg will be good trade bait. Fly-Half Baltsar Jarrel is an excellent goal-kicker but will need to work on the rest of his skills if he is to feature in a senior squad in a couple of years time.

Prediction: 6th. A long season ahead for Vizhune who, whilst stronger than Stondon going forward, will have difficulties keeping teams away from their own try line.

1996 Season, Week 1

SORGENFREI - A sloppy game from both sides in the wet wasn't much of a spectacle in the televised game of the round which saw Ulcombe come away with 14-3 victory over the Roosters in Sorgenfrei.

Ulcombe opened the scoring on the ten-minute mark when Fullback Richard Ashley crossed in the corner through a set-play from a scrum on the 22 which Alan Harper converted for an early 7-0 lead. Both teams made silly mistakes on attack but it was the Bears who looked most likely, forcing good defensive work from the hosts to keep the scoreline intact.

Five minutes before the break Graham Guest crashed over on the 14th phase of play to double Ulcombe's advantage going into half-time.

After the break the Roosters scored their first ever points when Waggoner Platz slotted a penalty goal over to bring the deficiet down to 11. However, the game soon became bogged down in midfield, with neither team really threatening either try line. Platz missed a second penalty goal attempt 15 minutes before the end when the hosts seem to kick it up a notch and pushed a couple of times to no avail.

REACTIONS:
Sorgenfrei Manager, Gerd Schoeller: "We played well in the second-half, but those two tries against us in the first half really hurt. We just lacked concentration for them and it cost us dearly. We were playing catch-up from that point".

Ulcombe Manager, Douglas Warwick: "It was a hard-fought win in the end, we knew [Sorgenfrei] would come out in the second-half and give us a good game as the score at the break flattered us somewhat. [Graham] Guest played well and Haydock was perfect with the boot which is all you can ask for".

NOTES:
Sorgenfrei Roosters: Sorgenfrei travel to Stondon next week to take on the Penguins who dispatched Vizhune 20-7. The Roosters will sense blood in this fixture with their superior defense.

Ulcombe Bears: The Bears host their first home game of the season, taking on Ilford who edged the Shoof Bombers today. This is going to be a mouth-watering clash between two evenly matched teams.

1996 Season, Week 2

OLDSTEAD - Fresh off a 46-10 thrashing of Geldstadt last week, Burstwick showed why they are favourites in Ianoia with a clinical 34-3 win over the winless Irish to take home the bonus point once more.

The Foxes controlled the game from the start, and raced out to a 21-0 lead just before the break thanks to tries from Orpen (his second of the season), Smith and Matthew Holmes. A quick penalty was slotted home by Philip Haydock on the stroke of half-time and the Irish were trailing 24-0.

The restart saw Burstwick on the defensive early on, but Oldstead could only slot over a drop kick after sustained pressure led them nowhere. An attack down the left flank was then halted on the hour mark and Burstwick seemed to go into cruise control for the remainder of the match. William Parkes scored his first try of the season 5 minutes later and the game was effectively over. A late drop goal by the Foxes did nothing but rub salt in the wounds of Oldstead who slump to 0-2 to start the season.

REACTIONS:
Burstwick Manager, Jack Gulley: "It was a great result for us and to take home the bonus point is fantastic. We can score from anywhere on the field by any player and that's what makes us so potent".

Oldstead Manager, Jake Shepherd: "Very disappointed in the boys today. We pride outselves on our defensive play but it let us down today as anytime Burstwick made an attack we just crumbled and conceded. I think the scoreline flatters them a bit, but we have to look at the video and see what we can improve for next week".

NOTES:
Burstwick Foxes: Host the Ilford Cougars next who have also started the season 2-0. Ilford have given up the most points in the division (after Oldstead) but have scored the most (after Burstwick). Philip Haydock remains perfect on penalty kicks so far this season (4/4).

Oldstead Irish: Meet Warnborough next week who between them haven't even scored half of Burstwick's points so far this season. The Whitecaps are coming off a 14-3 loss to McCutchen and haven't crossed the try-line in 114 minutes of play; the exact same time since the Irish last scored a try.

1996 Season, Week 3

SORGENFREI - The Roosters made it two wins on the bounce, restricting their opponents to one try for the second consecutive time too, as the hosts came from behind to defeat Shoof, 18-10.

Second Rower Marcel Oberhammer scored his third try of the season almost immediately from the kick-off when Winger Timotheus Rhodes made a break down the left hand side only to be pulled down by Roosters Winger Humphrey Siedlmayer 15 meters from the try line. Oberhammer got the hand-off from Flanker Steve Berg and Sorgenfrei were immediately on the backfoot, 0-7.

After a couple of early exchanges in attack, the hosts settled for a drop goal by Waggoner Platz to reduce the deficit to four ten minutes before Conrad Kiesler crossed over in the corner for his first try of the season. Platz couldn't convert so the Roosters led 8-7. However, Eckert Schacht came into the side of the ruck just moments after the restart and Nicolas Silverman slotted home the penalty from near halfway to give the visitors a slender lead going into the break.

The second-half - much like the last time Sorgenfrei was on national television - was all Roosters, with Outside Center Pepin Krech coming close a couple of times to give the hosts the lead. It wasn't until the 67th minute when Tighthead Prop Tom Rhodes was pushed over the line in a rolling maul that Sorgenfrei retook the lead with Platz converting the easy chance.

A late penalty goal 5 minutes from the end put the game out of reach for the visitors who now slip to 1-2 for the season.

REACTIONS:
Sorgenfrei Manager, Gerd Schoeller: "This was a hard-fought win for us and I'm pleased with the way the boys handled the game. We didn't give [Shoof] too many opportunities but still found ourselves trailing at the break. The early try could've seen our heads drop but the boys should great determination today in front of the home fans".

Shoof Manager, Benjamin Schenker: "The sloppy penalty at the end cost us a bonus point loss which is a bit disappointing, particularly as this division is shaping up to be a tight group. That doesn't excuse the fact that our heads went in the second-half and we allowed [Sorgenfrei] to dictate the game. We've had three close games now and we have 6 points to show for it which I would've taken at the start of the season".

NOTES:
Sorgenfrei Roosters: Stay at home next week to take on the winless Kuntzvoll Rams (0-3). The missed conversion by Waggoner Platz is his first miss of the season, not including penalty goal attempts.

Shoof Bombers: Travel to Geldstadt to take on the Warriors (1-2) who sit behind them in the standings by a single point. Both teams have started the season with a loss, then a win and then a loss most recently.

Week 3 Wrap-up

Vizhune and Kuntzvoll remain as the only winless teams in the Championship following their defeats at the hands of Viksida (24-9) and Tapfer (44-12) respectively. The Gators failed to score a try this week and were the only team that failed to do so.

Elsewhere, Burstwick continued their frightening form, downing Ilford 30-7, whilst Omfattandestad thrashed Stondon 41-8 to remain top of the table in Koana Islands with Olaf Stromberg scoring his fifth try of the season and his second man of the match award. Ny Aucklanda conceded their first try of the season, but were rarely troubled in their 26-10 win over the Hawks.

Warnborough raced out to a 14-0 lead over Oldstead, ending their try-less streak at 129 minutes. Oldstead had to wait a little longer (141 minutes) but it was worth it as they picked up their first win of the season (24-14) and moved the Whitecaps to last place in Ianoia.

Next week sees a mouth-watering clash between two undefeated sides when McCutchen travels to the Koana Islands capital city to take on the Razorbacks. In other games, Burstwick travels to Viksida, Ny Aucklanda hosts Oldstead and Kuntzvoll is looking to stay respectable against division-leading Sorgenfrei.

1996 Season, Week 4

OMFATTANDESTAD - Both teams entered the night match undefeated so far this season, but it was the Razorbacks who maintained their perfect start, disposing of McCutchen 29 points to 7 thanks to Byström's hat-trick of tries.

Ragnvard Byström crossed for his first try of the match - and third for the season - 10 minutes into the first-half following a linebreak by Number 8 Per-Olaf Lönnrot. Bernd Bjorkman missed the conversion to give the hosts an early 5 point lead.

Clumsy play soon followed from both teams with the Wolves coming close to tying things up twice only for a knock-on and a forward pass to rule out otherwise good build-up play.

Omfattandestad soon doubled their advantage three minutes from the end when Byström crossed for his second. The 30-year old Flanker received the ball from a ruck 5 meters out and jinked past a couple of despairing defenders to put the Razorbacks in the box-seat going into half-time.

The hosts extended their lead after the break, once again relying on the brilliance of their Flanker as he crossed for his first ever hat-trick to put Omfattandestad 19 points to the good.

A drop goal by Bjorkman added insult to injury for the visitors before Prop Nicholas Finch crashed over for his second of the season 12 minutes from the end to make the scoreline a bit more respectable. Max Lennartsson didn't want Finch to have all the glory in the forward packs, when he scored his fourth of the year right at the death to complete a commanding performance.

REACTIONS:
Omfattandestad Manager, Alvin Alfven: "Our defence has been exceptional so far this year and today was no exception. We only gave McCutchen a few really opportunities in which they scored on one of them. We can't be expected to keep the opposition scoreless every week, but it definitely doesn't matter when Byström steps up as well as he did today".

McCutchen Manager, Dermott Bacon: "[Omfattandestad] are a class team. We spoke before the game about containing Olaf [Stromberg] as he has been in great form and I'm pleased with how we kept him out of the game as much as possible. However, Ragnvard [Byström] and even Max [Lennartsson] can step up in his place and that's something that all teams are going to struggle with".

NOTES:
Omfattandestad Razorbacks: Take on Viksida (1-3) at home next week. Byström's hat-trick is the Razorbacks second hat-trick of the season after Olaf Stromberg's trio in the opening round.

McCutchen Wolves: Host Shoof Bombers (2-2) next week who defeated Geldstadt this week, 24-15. Both teams play quite conservatively on defence, so the game could be quite a low-scoring affair. Nicholas Finch's try today makes him the first Wolves player to score more than one try out of the seven who have all scored this season.

Week 4 Wrap-up

Kuntzvoll picked up their first win of the season in a thrilling 36-28 upset of Sorgenfrei that most people believe was the game of the round. Albert Kemper scored twice (his second and third tries of the season) early, followed by Bryan Brown and Hermann Braun as the Rams raced out to a 36-0 lead after just 26 minutes. The shellshocked Roosters eventually managed to claw their way back into the game but to no avail as the Gunsovolk Division continues to take points off each other.

Vizhune also ended their losing streak, with a 33-19 home win against Ilford. After racing out to a 19-0 lead, Ilford scored three unanswered tries before half-time to lock things up at 19-all. Tore Johncke scored his second of the day 10 minutes into the second-half and Adrian Dackell tacked on another as the Gators picked up a bonus point.

In other games, Oldstead Fly-Half Martin Taylor was perfect with the boot in torrential rain as the Irish won back-to-back games and ended Ny Aucklanda's perfect start with a 12-0 win. Ulcombe clung on for a one-point win over Stondon following Benedikt Tomasson's missed conversion two minutes from the end whilst Heftig left it too late in their attempted comeback loss to Tapfer, 17-5.

Burstwick were rarely troubled by Viksida with another masterclass from Matthew Holmes keeping the Foxes perfect season intact, whilst there were also wins for Geldstadt and Warnborough.

3rd April 1996 News

Johncke surprises many, and not just in baseball
VIZHUNE - Vizhune Gators Left Winger Tore Johncke (pictured) has a second string to his bow that defies the typical rugby player stereotype: he loves science. When the Grenada-born 23-year old puts his boots away for the day, the study books are opened for his course in mathematics, which will hopefully one day lead to a degree in physics.

He may be building a reputation as one of the top wingers in the Rugby Championship but the smart money is on him enjoying similar success in the world of academia.

Originally part of IFK Safir Kust's youth setup in the old Topp-12 Ligan before the formation of the SURC, the 23-year-old joined Vizhune in the winter of 1995 making him one of the first signings by the Gators. Vizhune manager Ulf made Johncke one of his main targets over summer and since the start of the season the youngster has hardly looked back scoring twice including a great individual effort to open the scoring in last weekends 33-19 win over Ilford.

"I've enjoyed my first few months at Vizhune so much," he said. "I knew that when [Vizhune] were rumoured to be interested in me, I just had to go there. It was a perfect opportunity to be a part of the newly-formed Championship and now that I'm here, every single second is so enjoyable".

While enjoying his rugby in the Southern Union's top flight, Tore is also looking to a possible new career when he finally hangs up his boots, and his love of science is very much to the fore.

"I am on a course from the Open University and it's sort of a foundation year, basically something you have to do in order to pursue any degree," he said.

"The course covers all the basics of social science, such as geology, biology and physics, which is the subject I'm most interested in. It teaches you the basics of equations and once you know that you can pursue your favourite area. I enjoy numbers and I already finished a course in questions in science just after I signed here at Vizhune. Numbers have always fascinated me and that ties in with physics".

There should be few problems in closing angles or judging the flight of a ball but if the dressing room banter at SkogArena ever turns to astro-physics then Johncke will feel right at home:

"My girlfriend's brother has a degree in astro-physics and the whole family is involved. My girlfriend has a masters in biology and another brother has a masters in journalism. My brother also works in a really difficult chemistry school in Vienna. I used to watch a lot of documentaries but I haven't had a lot of time lately. My evenings are spent reading books and working on the computer. My assignments are just uploaded to the Open University website and they assess it from there. You get sent eight or nine books and then the course gives you a month to work through each book.

"It is so different from professional rugby and that's why I like it. I can take my mind away from a bad run of form or even if you're doing well, it stops you from getting ahead of yourself".

Born in Grenada, the six foot winger had his family visiting for the first time last weekend and is quick to pass the credit for his academic success on to his father: "My Dad is really into his sport and he was here for the weekend. My Dad was an outfielder for the Safir Kust Sharks in the Super Ligan (the top tier of Baseball in the Koana Islands) but had to stop playing because of injury. His views are very much the same, enjoy your rugby but also make sure you have some sort of education because that's what happened to him. He stopped playing baseball at 26 and took the education path".

That education should stand Tore in good stead in later years but for now he is totally committed to his rugby and loving life with the Gators. His form is catching the eye of many shrewd judges including Omfattandestad Razorbacks manager Alvin Alfven.

"Both my parents are from Ny Aucklanda but I do see myself as an Grenadation. I was born and raised there, but if I was given the chance to play for the Razorbacks, I think the dining room table talk could be a bit hostile!"

Famously, Ny Aucklanda has a fierce rivalry with Omfattandestad which formed due to the Warlocks and Titans baseball teams.

Under-pressure Lorens Hallstrom's job is safe despite poor run, say Ivyvirke
Ivyvirke Hawks manager Lorens Hallstrom has the backing of his bosses after they pledged their support ahead of next weeks away trip to Stondon despite a dismal run of defeats deemed ‘not acceptable’.

Ivyvirke have now lost three of their past four games, including two in a row after a 27-7 hammering to Warnborough at the weekend and a 26-10 defeat the week before; both at home. The poor form has put pressure on Hallstrom, but Ivyvirke chief executive Calle Arvidsson said he continued to have the support of him and the board.

“He is contracted through to the end of the season and he has a plan — we are across that plan and we are comfortable with it,” he said on the rugby.ki website. “But clearly you can’t just ignore the performances — they’re not acceptable.

“So it’s about what we can do to support him as an organisation to make sure he has what he needs to make sure the Hawks are successful as we move into the latter stages of the season.”

Asked to pinpoint an area he felt needed improvement, Arvidsson nominated the Hawks defence, which has leaked 107 points in four games - the second worst in the Championship.

“There are parts of our game that haven’t performed, particularly around defence,” he said. “So we will be having conversations around that. But I don’t think it’s about changing what we’ve got. It’s about what else can we bring.”

Former coach Robin Lindström said fitness was also an issue, blaming the players and not the coaching set-up for their recent woes.

“I’m sure they’re not fit enough,” Lindström, who led Ivyvirke Rugby United to their first rugby title in 1991 in Topp-12, told the Falkenberg-Posten.

“Last weekend there were people walking with half an hour to go. You can’t really pin that on the Hawks coaching set-up.”

Hallstrom has been adamant that the Hawks’ fitness levels had improved.

“We were getting comments out of the Hawks camp that fitness had definitely improved and skill level had improved. Well, that didn’t appear to be the case,” said Lindström.

“My opinion is he is the coach and that’s that,” said Dwyer. “It wasn’t too long ago when he was being hailed as the next great coaching talent. He can’t have gone backwards I wouldn’t have thought,” he said, adding that it was “misplaced” to call for Hallstrom to be sacked.

Ivyvirke’s next game is against the Stondon Penguins in Stondon next weekend.

1996 Season, Week 5

BURSTWICK - Peter Annis scored the only try of day which helped Burstwick maintain their unbeaten start to the season in a 13-3 victory at Vista Park.

A full crowd was present to witness a scrappy game of rugby that the hosts nearly managed to throw away with clumsy mistakes in the final third of the pitch.

After Heftig Fullback Luigi Kohl made a linebreak from the first kick-off the Mountaineers failed to complete the chance as the play was broken down and Burstwick soon went up 3-0 off the boot of Philip Haydock. 11 minutes later the Foxes knocked on but Peter Annis crossed for his second try of the season to give the home team a 10-0 lead.

Another knock-on, this time from Garry Eastburn, saw Burstwick go into half-time only leading by 10 before Haydock slotted home another penalty on the restart to give themselves a 13 point buffer.

Both teams then traded mistakes on attack before Heftig slotted home a drop goal with 7 minutes left. A late push by the Foxes came to nothing as Left Winger Jake Griffith threw the ball out to touch by accident to end the game at 13-3.

REACTIONS:
Burstwick Manager, Jack Gulley: "We could've picked up a bonus point win today had we performed better on attack, but thankfully our workrate in defence was top class and that proved the difference. Our first half in particular was a real highlight".

Heftig Manager, Detlev Wahr: "We knew their forward pack was strong, but we just couldn't break them down in the rucks and that really cost us going forward. Lorenz [Stauffer] was great for us in that regard, but we didn't give him enough support. We'll review the tape and break down what happened today".

NOTES:
Burstwick Foxes: Travel to McCutchen to play the Wolves (3-2) who have now dropped two straight games. The Foxes have a ten-point lead in the Ianoia Division.

Heftig Mountaineers: Host Ivyvirke Hawks (2-3) from Koana Islands next round. Slip to 5th in the standings behind Geldstadt on point difference. Today's game was the second time this season Heftig failed to score a try, with the first coming in a 20-0 loss to Ny Aucklanda in Week 2.

Week 5 Wrap-up

Vizhune notched up their second straight win by stunning the Miners in Ny Aucklanda. After trailing 14-10 at the break, the Gators shut up shop and edged out a 19-14 victory with two drop goals and a penalty kick from Adrian Dackell. The loss for the Miners sees them slip 10 points behind Omfattandestad who thumped Viksida 27-7 with Olaf Stromberg scoring a try and picking up the man of the match. Max Lennartsson scored a brace for the Razorbacks whilst Gorin Olmqvist crossed for his second of the season in the Spartans lone try.

Sorgenfrei returned to the winners circle with a 28-0 thrashing of Ilford thanks to a fifteen minute blitz before half-time. Tries to Sepp Hansen (his fourth of the year) and a double from Pepin Krech knocked the wing out of the hosts sails who had been playing well to that point. Humphrey Siedlmayer scored just after the break to give the Roosters a bonus point win. Elsewhere, Stondon were also shutout at home as they slumped to a 22-0 loss at the hands of Ivyvirke. The Hawks defensive woes weren't evident during this game but Petter Skold scored the lone try for the visitors as Halvar Knutson kicked four penalty goals.

The Whitecaps also picked up a win this weekend, when they defeated a fast finishing Kuntzvoll Rams 27-20. Warnborough had raced out to a 17-0 lead before Matthias Young failed to convert his own try for the Rams before the break. Samuel Hyman's second try of the season 5 minutes after the restart seemingly sealed victory for the hosts before Kuntzvoll scored a couple of tries and a penalty goal to reduce the deficit to just 4 with eight minutes remaining. However Kuntzvoll - who stunned Sorgenfrei last weekend - couldn't find the try line again, eventually going down 27-20.

Tapfer moved to the top of the Gunsovolk Division after scoring twice in the final fifteen minutes to defeat Oldstead 29-14 whilst their were also wins for Shoof (21-10) who withstood sustained pressure from McCutchen early on and Geldstadt.

1996 Season, Week 6

TAPFER - THe Hurricanes put the game to the undefeated Omfattandestad Razorbacks but ultimately fell short, going down 26-12 with late tries to the visitors falttering the scoreline.

The home crowd thought they were going to be in for a long day when Flanker Ragnvard Byström crossed 8 minutes into the game to give Omfattandestad an early 5-0 lead.

However, Tapfer put the game to the visitors and had three good attacking opportunities before the break in which Phillipp Herman converted only one to give the 'Canes a 7-5 lead. The Number 8 received a hand-off from the fifth phase of the play, dummied to the right, then jinked to the left and crossed unopposed just before the half-hour mark and Dagobert Mayo converted the kick.

The Razorbacks, clearly shellshocked at the fortunes of the two teams in the first half, chipped away into a slender lead when they relied on the boot of Bernd Bjorkman to put them ahead 11-7 thirteen minutes into the second-half with a penalty goal and a drop kick.

Tapfer's awesome defensive work up to this point was rewarded yet again when Mathis Herman broke through the line and put the home team up by a point after Mayo missed the conversion by hitting the post.

Omfattandestad soon found another gear, and crossed 6 minutes later with Prop Max Lennartsson's seventh of the season and then another drop kick 4 minutes later put the game beyond reach. Flanker Wilhelm Anderberg scored his first of the season sliding over in the corner to complete seven minutes of torture for the home fans as the Razorbacks ran out 26-12 winners.

REACTIONS:
Omfattandestad Manager, Alvin Alfven: "[Tapfer] player really well and we talked at half-time about our gameplan which I didn't really feel we needed to change. Olaf [Stromberg] was exceptional again, and Max [Lennartsson] just can't be stopped at the moment. It was a tough game but I think we deserved the win".

Tapfer Manager, Brendan Krueger: "This was a tough loss for the boys but I'm so proud of them. The Razorbacks are a team that is likely going to go all the way this season so to give them such a gritty game shows the strength of this team. Unfortunately our record is 3-3 now and that reflects poorly on the boys who I feel should be 4-2 or even 5-1".

NOTES:
Omfattandestad Razorbacks: Travel to Ianoia to take on the Warnborough Whitecaps (3-3). Become the last team to remain undefeated after the Burstwick Foxes lost this weekend. Max Lennartsson becomes the league's leading tryscorer.

Tapfer Hurricanes: Have another tough game when they visit Sorgenfrei to play the Roosters (3-2-1). Today's loss sees the 'Canes snap their winning streak at three. The Herman brothers both scored for Tapfer today, becoming the first team to have two brothers score in a game.

Week 6 Wrap-up

A hat-trick of tries from Outside Center Pepin Krech wasn't enough for Sorgenfrei to beat Viksida in a thrilling 22-all draw in the highlight of the Week 6 match-ups. The Spartans had built up a 17-7 lead at one point before Sorgenfrei scored twice in the second half to bring the scores level with 8 minutes remaining. Unfortunately, Krech's third try conversion was missed by Waggoner Platz and the game finished in a draw; the first of the season.

In a surprise result, McCutchen inflicted Burstwick's first loss of the season after clinging on for a 20-10 upset. The Wolves, having lost their last two games, raced out to a 20-0 lead at half-time as the visitors couldn't keep possession in the final third. However, after the break Left Wing Jake Griffith scored his second of the season and the Foxes comeback was on. The Wolves had other ideas and held on for a memorable victory to keep their season on track.

Ny Aucklanda slumped to their third straight defeat, going down 24-11 against the Warriors in Geldstadt. In a tight first-half, both teams failed to convert tries but traded penalty goals early to go into the half tied at 8-all. Geldstadt came out for the second-half a different team and tallied points on all four major attacking plays to come away with the victory.

In other games, Kuntzvoll won a sloppy game only for the purists against Vizhune 11-0, Heftig scored three times in the second half - including a double from RW Manuel Hecht - to defeat Ivyvirke 29-13 and Stondon thrashed the hapless Shoof 43-10. Ulcombe continued their run of hard-fought games with a narrow 21-13 win over division rivals Warnborough and Ilford ended their three-game skid with a comfortable 27-10 over Oldstead Irish to send them to the foot of the Ianoia Division.

1996 Season, Week 7

SORGENFREI - A late charge from the Roosters helped them to a 19-7 home victory over Tapfer to move a point clear at the top of the Gunsovolk Division.

23,684 turned up to Vogelgesang on Saturday night to witness a scrappy victory in which both teams wasted opportunities to take the win.

Tapfer broke the deadlock early when Right Winger Niklas Schmidt crossed for his first of the season after quick hands sent the 27-year old crashing over into the corner. Dagobert Mayo converted from the sideline and he nearly crossed for his own try three minutes later but was cruelly stopped just short of the line by Eligius Goldberg.

Sorgenfrei soon locked the scores up at seven-all when Humphrey Siedlmayer matched his opposite number's effort and scored midway through the first-half.

Both teams then wasted chances at both ends to go into the break still tied 7-7.

The visitors again came close, wasting opportunities going forward in-between multiple knock-ons by Sorgenfrei that had the fans getting restless.

Bergen Kaufman made a break from a scrum with 13 minutes remaining and caught the defence napping to give the Roosters the lead in the game for the first time. Waggoner Platz crossed five minutes later but couldn't convert his own try to keep the Roosters undefeated streak intact.

REACTIONS:
Sorgenfrei Manager, Gerd Schoeller: "We wasted a lot of chances today but thankfully so did [Tapfer], and that allowed us to take control of the game a bit later than I would've liked. A win is a win at the end of the day, but we need to start looking at converting our chances if we are to win the division".

Tapfer Manager, Brendan Krueger: "Back-to-back losses is not a good look, but when you see we played Omfattandestad and Sorgenfrei it puts things into a bit of perspective. Losing to our division rivals is a tough one, and we really should've done more in the final third, but they wasted a few golden opportunities to knock-ons and the like, so it was a fair result. Unfortunately it was a bit uncharacteristic to see us only cross once today".

NOTES:
Sorgenfrei Roosters: Host the surprise of the season so far McCutchen Wolves (5-2) next week. Pepin Krech picked up his third MoTM award to lead the Roosters ahead of Humphrey Siedlmayer with two.

Tapfer Hurricanes: Have a tough home fixture against Burstwick Foxes (6-1). Niklas Schmidt's try this evening makes him the tenth 'Canes player to score so far this season. Gotthold Tampke picked up his third MVP award, remaining the only other player to pick up the achievement for Tapfer behind Niklas Schmidt (4).

Week 7 Wrap-up

Warnborough Whitecaps came agonisingly close to handing the Razorbacks the first loss of the season in a heart-breaking 26-22 loss. Omfattandestad could only rely on kicks to keep them in the game despite Olaf Stromberg being at his usual best with his league-leading seventh try of the season.

Meanwhile Burstwick continued their fine form with a crushing 32-7 win against Ny Aucklanda who have now lost four straight and leave question marks over Artur Martinpelto's position as manager.

Geldstadt and Kuntzvoll played out a 10-10 draw with a late Klaus Beck penalty kick for the Warriors tying things up with four minutes remaining. The result means we have had two straight weeks with a tied game and keeps Gunsovolk Division tight with only seven points seperating first and sixth.

In other games, Mathius Mayer and Herbert Schuchardt both crossed twice each in Shoof's 39-27 thriller against Heftig; Oldstead clung on for a 27-21 win over the Hawks; McCutchen moved to 5-2 with a 34-7 demolition of Vizhune; Ulcombe came from 7-0 down at the break to defeat the Spartans 17-7 at home and Ilford dominated Stondon 26-7, spending the majority of the game in the Penguins final third.

1996 Season, Week 8

STONDON - Ny Aucklanda snapped a four-game losing streak to propel them back to second in the Koana Division with an 18-5 victory at KoaTel Arena.

The Penguins have been inconsistent going forward so far this year, scoring just once last week prior to a 43-10 drubbing of Shoof the week before in which Stondon ran in six tries to one. Blindside Flanker Patrik Markusson scored his first career try in the 12th minute, swooping on a handling error by winger Alex Kihlstedt at midfield, Markusson toed the ball forward three times in an exhilarating sprint before collecting it a metre from the line and diving over to put his side 5-0 up.

The visitors soon responded, firstly with a penalty kick, followed by Albin Samuelsson crossing over near the post and converting his own effort to give the Miners a 10-5 lead at half-time.

Stondon, off the back of an appalling performance last week, seemed to relive that horror show, as Ny Aucklanda crossed again 6 minutes into the second half with Outside Center Karl Egerman and then another penalty kick 12 minutes later put the Miners up 18-5.

With the home fans starting to turn on the Pens, Stondon tried to put the game to the visitors, firstly with a missed penalty kick just after the hour mark, and then with a failed attacking opportunity at the death that ended in a forward pass.

REACTIONS:
Ny Aucklanda Manager, Artur Martinpello: "I don't read the newspapers so I don't know what was said during the losing streak, all that matters is that the team responded brilliantly today and righted the ship. Jens [Wiik] was sensational, and [Stondon] always has excellent defense, so to score on all our attacking chances bar one is a great result".

Stondon Manager, Frederek Gansah: "A loss is not great obviously, but we held them to 18 points and looked much more solid defensively which is what we are feared for. Except for our loss to Omfattandestad, we've played really well in our own half, and today was no exception. We do need to stop giving away silly penalties that let games get out of reach, though".

NOTES:
Ny Aucklanda Miners: Take on Sorgenfrei Roosters (5-2-1) who have been in good form lately. The Miners sit 1-1 against Gunsovolk opposition. Otto Martinpelto is tied for eighth in tries scored this season with four. Karl Egerman and Albin Samuelsson both scored their second tries of the season.

Stondon Penguins: Stay at home for next week's clash against the Kuntzvoll Rams (2-5-1) who unlike Stondon are decent in attack and have poor defence. Patrik Markusson becomes the eighth player to score a try for Stondon this season. Kaj Lindholm picked up his second Man of the Match award, but has come under pressure for failing to deliver so far this season with the Hooker yet to score a try.

Week 8 Wrap-up

Sorgenfrei brought McCutchen back down to Earth this weekend with a 41-17 rout of the Wolves. The visitors had been exceeding expectations so far this season, but five tries including a brace from Inside Center Bergen Kaufman saw off any threat. Burstwick and Omfattandestad both maintained their spots at the top of Ianoia and Koana Island divisions respectively, with the Foxes clinging on to a hard-fought 16-14 win over Tapfer, whilst the Razorbacks thrashed division rivals Vizhune 49-10, running in six tries and kicking three penalty goals in the match.

In the only other game in Koana Islands, Viksida remain winless since week three, following a 21-12 loss to Ivyvirke. The Hawks crossed twice through Scrum Half Jacob Rolf, and never gave up the lead despite a second-half fightback from the Spartans.

Elsewhere, Oldstead ran in four unanswered tries against Kuntzvoll in a 37-0 thumping of the Rams; First career tries to Steve Bolton and Matthew Stone wasn't enough for the Whitecaps, who went down 22-20 to the Bombers, with a missed conversion four minutes from the end proving the difference; Geldstadt are undefeated in four games following their 35-15 win over Ilford and Heftig were too strong for Ulcombe, 21-10.
