The
2017 Veterans Tournament Plate Final would be
contested by The Warriors and Dickie Dogs. This
was our fourth Veterans Plate competition and
the roll of honour so far read:
2014,
Mallorca: €agles 3:36 (def. Dickie Dogs, 2-1)
2015,
Algarve: Norton Old Boys (def. The Warriors, 1-0)
2016,
Lisbon: Pioes (def Crabtree Amblers, 2-0).
The
eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that
The Warriors and Dickie Dogs both feature in the
roll call above. Sadly, for both these teams,
in the past they have ended up on the wrong end
of the result in the final. Obviously, for one
of these teams that would change and they would
be picking up the winners' trophy and the winners
medals in the presentation this evening.
Let's
have a look at the two teams' form today:
The
Warriors
Played
6, Won 3, Drawn 0, Lost 3, For 8, Against 5
Group
finish: 4th.
Dickie
Dogs
Played
6, Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 2, For 9, Against 8
Group
finish: 4th.
On
today's form there was very little to differentiate
the two teams and it is often difficult to compare
the stats as one group may well have been tougher
than the other. It was going to be tough to pick
a winner but it is worth noting both teams finished
fourth in their group and knocked out higher placed
teams in the Semi-Finals.
