Correct Nerdy. It's the only real derby and it's where some players change their studs on their boots with longer ones.
Also heard last night it could be played under lights.
The only one who cares about NER v EEW is North Epping.
For years now, EEW has been the benchmark in Epping and i highly doubt that a super league promoted team will even compete when it comes down to the money end of the year.
So here is to you guys talking yourself up.... AGAIN!
Out of all the original derby's over 40 season PH & WPH is the oldest.
This is despite WPH having been relegated for three seasons in the late eighties.
EEW entered in season two but were also relegated for four seasons in the early eighties.
NER spent the last six years in Super League
NER/EEW should be a cracker
KEN/PHD, Thonleigh/Normo
STA/EEW
They were some cracking derby's over the years.
So really the only Derbys left are:
STA/EEW
EEW/NER
WPH/PEN
Is that it?
