Next Tuesday, two of SUSFC's premier squads will go head-to-head in a unique battle. The women's Premier League First Grade will take on the men's CDFSA Over 35s. Grace, youth and talent. The women have it all in spades. The men have none of it. But with over 10,000 games for SUSFC between them, they've got experience and rat cunning.
Can youth triumph over experience? Will the men's pre-season of two training sessions and one game be enough? Will the women run circles around the men? Can these men of a certain age match up against the strongest University women's program in Australia? All these questions and many more will be answered on The Square on Tuesday March 25. Kick-Off at 7:00pm. Be there!
Background: these two squads battled it out for top SUSFC honours last year.
The women's First Grade swept all before them in the women's Super League, finishing the season undefeated and claiming the Premiership / Championship double, as well as being part of the promotion of the women's program to Premier League. This match will be their final hit-out before they kick off their inaugural season in the Premier League on March 30.
The men's Over 35s made their first ever semi-finals, finishing second, after looking a good chance for the Premiership mid-season. They also finished runners-up in the Grand Final and were promoted a division for 2008. As you can see, the women just pipped them for the SUSFC Outstanding Achievement of 2007.

10,000!?
That sounds like a lot of games. Surely an exaggeration. Although if it's not, I'd like to see the approximate player-by-player breakdown.
Breakdown
I'm beginning to have my doubts about your maths degree. I would have thought it was obvious.
Dave S and Brendan are in the 400-500 range. Dave O 300-400. Many others in the 100-200 range. And a few around 50. Let's say 2,000 for all them. Add in 8,000 for Andras and we're there.
Underestimate
Actually, I would have thought Tom, Bruce, Carl (not sure if he's back in the squad), a few others would have played well over 200 games. Maybe you only need 7,000 from Andras to hit the 10k.
