Bloody tough div again!

Eastern Park easily, IF they can stay out of trouble.

Eastern park losing players?

Lost a lot more then 7 already, few still up in the air but expecting a few more to walk for sure

Thommo has been reappointed

Agree.. EP with ease if they can keep the majority of the playing group together

Reckon some of you blokes might be underestimating what a top end div 5 side is capable of over the last year or 2, even before that.

EP would have missed the 5 in A’s and B’s even without their little issues. Im comfortable in saying if CBC played EP last year 10 times that CBC would win more times than not. Win this div easily with most of their current side? Unlikely.

Not saying CBC wouldn't beat them but not sure the other 9 would. Maybe you been stuck in Div 5 too long and think it's an amazing level of football.

Based on this year, assuming they retain their players, you'd have to think Kenilworth enter 2019 as favourites with Lockleys & Pulteney in the mix.

Blackfriars would be mid table, but losing Brincat is a massive blow, may see them slide, and I think Smithfield will drop away. Hope Valley the other lower end side last year, would need to retain their group and recruit a couple - rely heavily on too few IMO.

If Eastern Park are losing as many as is reported, they may follow the same path as Smithfield last year, and finish outside the 5, but avoid relegation.

Rosewater & Trinity coming up will be interesting, both seem well equipped and would be competitive.

Don't know enough about Salisbury to comment.

Tend to agree, EP were on track to play D4 finals before they lost points, would've thought they'd beat most in D5 last year except CBC.

Since when has that ever stopped you?

2 years is too long to forget about 1 div higher? Lol! I’ve got a bit of a clue when it comes to seeing a good side at local level. There are others capable also in div 5. They would not win div 5 with their current side imo but hey I’m not saying my opinion is better than yours.

Dont worry about salisbury @pag told me they're a one man team

Eastern park of 2017 would of easily played finals in div 5.

At home they are a very hard team to beat

That alone would be close to making it

I was talking div 4. They would have made div 5 yes.

This is true. Brad Horjus is back and it's all about him.

I can't see Smithfield finishing bottom 5 with the big signings im hearing about,but it is only silly season though.
