Albion Cup, time to look up and make sure there's no rain in the forecast...If not then the 05s are in for some decent games this weekend at Albion Cup in Flight I.
Fields
Nobel Park
Robb Field (Final)
Format
12 Teams
3 Group Winners & 1 Wildcard advance to Semi-Finals
Tournament Links
Bracket 1
Strikers have the name recognition and many people are waiting to see what this team will look like with Pete Aguirre and Craig Bull transitioning this team from the small field to the big field, incorporating older players, etc. They will be the clear favorites in a group with a very good balance of competition that could make them sweat a bit.
Bracket 2
Very balanced group with Segovia looking for a chance to make some noise in the 05s. Both Albion and Express have enough players where they can make things interesting as well. Beach is the "B" team looking to measure themselves.
Bracket 3
On paper you have TFA who seems to be good for guaranteed Semi-Finals / Finals appearances and have chased down the competition at every corner. Murrieta will look to have a rebound from CRL and have a point to make. Rebels should a very technical squad but will have to bring some pace to counter a lot of what they will see in this group.
Best of luck to everyone at Albion Cup, don't overlook Flight II this weekend as there are a couple of teams who would have been just fine in Flight I, watch the results and you'll see what I'm talking about.
