We went to see Baulko v Penno in the GF rematch and unfurling of the flag. Wow, Baulko looks scary. As I wrote previously, they have retained the core of last year's team and they look pretty determined to do well this year. Best by my reckoning were Anderson, McConnell, Emery and Gemmell. John Vlatko went off in the first quarter with some sort of soft tissue injury.
I thought Penno was ok but nothing better than that. Came good in the second half when it was all decided but were cruelled by seven 50 meter penalties, mostly at the Baulko end, that resulted in a lot of Baulko goals. Last year, it seemed that discipline was Penno's strength, but not last night.
Be warned, all who are to take on Baulko this year.
