ROLE AT YORK: YUSU President-elect
WINNER: James 1sts or Halifax 1sts
WHY? It takes a brave man to bet against either James 1sts or ‘Fax 1sts. It’s impossible to completely write anyone off, though, as anything can happen on the JLD.
NAME: James Croydon
ROLE AT YORK: Student Activities Officer
WINNER: Halifax 1sts
WHY? They had a shaky start and haven’t been playing as well as last year so far, but I fancy them to come good in the knockout stages. They’ve always got a goal in them which bodes well.
NAME: Luke Sandford
ROLE AT YORK: Ex-Union Chair
WINNER: James 1sts
WHY? They are consistently high performing, and I don’t think their draw against Vanbrugh amounts to much given they had already qualified at that point.
NAME: Darren Webb
ROLE AT YORK: Ex-URY Station Manager
WINNER: James 1sts
WHY? Having the top two goal scorers in Clarke and Davies is a definite positive, and alongside a dedicated defence, this is a recipe for success!
NAME: Brian Cantor
ROLE AT YORK: Vice Chancellor of the University
WINNER: Too Close to Call
WHY? Our colleges have considerable sporting prowess but such are the uncertainties of sport, predicting the winner of such a hard-fought competition is always notoriously difficult so I won’t even try.
