Someone from the midlands would know better, but I don't think they lost a whole lot. From what I understand there was a player missing from last years playoff game for CN, due to a concussion (I think) which some say will make a difference for them this year, if they face Pinewood. I guess more will be known in a couple of weeks during the Wando tournament. The missing player last year forced the CN coach to play a more defensive minded game. If all are healthy, it would make for a good match, similar to the one a couple of years ago.
