Both teams were good and I would guess both would beat the Crabs, but who knows? There are some really good players on all of these teams.

They are 10/11 y/o old kids, a few weeks of practice still makes a big difference.

Absolutely. A few plays either way can lead to a win for any one of these teams. I would imagine by the end of the year, the team that wins the Ship will have earned it.
