Week 01 : Match Report

The first game of the 2008 Christmas Cup World Series saw Team Bobby run out narrow winners. Despite dominating for large portions of the game, a combination of bad finishing and resolute defending from the Triffs meant the result remained on a knife-edge right to the death. Ultimately the Bobs superior passing game and strategy won the day against the Triffs looser, Brazilian style.

However it’s all still to play for. Who will have bragging rights in the Grand on Stephen’s Night as yet remains too hard to call, with the bookies having the Bobs at slight favourites. Game two on Thursday night, where the Triffs will have home advantage, may will prove vital to the ultimate destination of the inaugural Christmas Cup.
