Thursday Night Owls resumes on 6 November and the week 1 draw is accordingly released. Premiership winner and runner-up, Gangsters of Love and Test Eagles, are on the Foxtel Rink (4) in the long-awaited rematch. One bye only this season as 30 teams battle for the ultimate prize. Completely Bias will be in thick of things again but looking for better returns from their star pinup, Toby Carter! 120Ys after recruiting Vanders last season are on the hunt again and rumour has it they are making representations to one of the Trenorden brothers – surely that would get them over the line! Of course, Gangsters & the Eagles will again be strong, but I am liking the early signs of Wombats, a team that is always around the mark and if they can settle some of their internal finger pointing, you never know. As always, support your Blue Shirts and enjoy. Byes for 18 December have been allocated….
