With the Cats and Saxons at opposing ends of the BAFL 1 South East Conference, Sunday's game was a key game for both teams. With the Saxons looking down the barrel of not only having the double done on the by their local rivals for the second straight year, but also the possibility of relegation straight back to Divison 2. Despite the Saxons coming off a grulling schedule and playing with a weakened squad, this was not a game to be taken lightly if the Cats we to maintain their impressive debut return to Division 1.
This was a make or break game, a victory and we made it to the playoffs, a defeat and it meant that a victory vs the Cobra's would stand between us and the playoffs, something that no team has so far been able to do in the senior league.
