Saturday brings the final game before the winter break and the usual re-assessment of League standings. Bracknell Cavaliers gave Tigers a veritable thumping 4-0 at their place last February. Joe was man of the match and Hearts played without Toby and Eli. Apart from the horrendous game at Henley, it was the only match in which Tigers failed to score last season. Wildcats beat the Cavaliers 2-1 earlier this season, recovering from being a goal down.
This weekend, Henry is unavailable, which means that Hayden is the only player likely to overhaul Gabriel's 12 goals at the top of the scoring chart. Assuming Toby plays, he will be leading the appearances, being the only ever-present. Eli may well be suffering as it was his birthday on Friday.
It's Christmas Lunch after the game, with lunch book at the new Piazza Firenze on Teddington High Street.
See you on Saturday
