Going on last season aye, but then you'd be a bit biased on the Vic prediction :-) Who have you got into replace Nicole Bairds 22 goals and also Rosie Wild?

heres what I think (based on last season)

Wellington United - have heard they aren't as strong this year (but that could be by their standards) will still be up there

Waterside - should be favourites if they get a keeper sorted

Vic Uni - really depends on answer to above question, losing Nicole is a big loss, but new coach, new ideas, possible new players still a chance

BNU - will do their usual, beat teams below them but lose to those above

Petone - interesting with Gary Jenkins at the helm, had a very young team in the past (but then who in this league doesn't!) think they will be in with a shout

Upper Hutt City - struggling to get a team together, may pull out

Kapiti Coast United - No idea

Western Suburbs - have picked up Tessa McPherson and Ole seem to be starting to push the women's side, think will be alot stronger this year but be a couple of seasons yet before they get up to W-League level

Island Bay - new team, Sharkettes got relegated, Flames got promoted, Apparently Flames have been together since they were kids, not sure how they will handle the step up to premier

Stop Out - back in Prems after a season out, would pick for staying up but only just

So I'll stick my neck out and say Waterside and Petone to get promotion, with Vic, Wgtn Utd and BNU just behind

Speaking purely on Uni - Nicole should be returning some time during the season. No like for like replacement for Rosie though, but looking for existing players to step up in that role. We have 4 American exchange students who are all fantastic players and some other strong recruits as well including our new captain. Overall I think we'll be a better team than we were last year once Nicole returns. We're playing Waterside this weekend with our 2nds keeper playing in goal for them, so they sound like they're still struggling. Boyd Wilson at midday Sunday if anyone has any desire to watch!

The Flames were a good side last year, all about 16-17 years old. We (Vic Uni 2nds) beat them once, they beat us twice (incl. Cup final) from memory but they've spent the summer playing in a men's league which has helped them massively (although they did let me score against them last weekend...) However, I think the step up might be too much for them this year.

Definitely looking at Petone and BNU to put the pressure on us for the 2nd promotion spot, but I don't know how we'll fare with the new team til I see us actually play - with the nature of the Uni club we only released the squads for the season yesterday.

Should be a good season.

No like for like replacement for Rosie though, but looking at Heather Davie and Elsie Brownlie to step up in that role. We have 4 American exchange students who are all fantastic players and some other strong recruits as well including our new captain.
