ODT Odds On: 8 May 2025

Well we didn't quite deliver as promised at the weekend on ODT Odds On brought to by the best little sports bar on earth the Baaa.
Our gallops tipster delivered like the postie he is when Punch lane cantered home at Hawksbury at $3.20. Harty's wildcard didn't get underway when the Riccarton gallops on the grass were canned so money back.
The Harness and sports tipster were a disgrace and are on final warnings AGAIN!! Stick with the process as we have got some serious odds winners this weekend.

Keas swoop on another CRL Premiership title

That was the feeling of grand-final-winning Linwood Keas head coach Andrew Auimatagi after his side sealed the club's eighth CRL Premiership title in 10 years with a commanding 30-6 victory over Riccarton Knights at Ngā Puna Wai. Auimatagi praised his side's great performance on Sunday to win the Pat Smith Trophy back after they were knocked out in the preliminary final last season. "The boys came with a plan and executed really well, the most pleasing thing was our defence to be honest. 'I kind of had a feeling the boys were going to be on.' First-half tries to Alofa Faaiva, Thomas Ruwhiu, Danny Samuelu-Latu and Daniel Hartley saw Linwood go into the break with a 22-0 lead. Hartley scored another try in the second half, converted it, and slotted a goal. Jimmy Rangiawha's try got Riccarton on the board with 19 minutes to play, making it 30-6. No further points were added as Linwood romped home. Riccarton head coach Brent Ringdahl believed his side put their grand final performance in a week early.

"I've got this sneaky feeling that the week before, we might have played our grand final,' Ringdahl said. He felt a lot was expected of his troops after making their first grand final since 2004, which could have impacted their performance. "They were stoked to make it and everyone kept on saying '21 years', so there was heaps of pressure on them. "But you've got to take your hat off to Linwood, they came out there and dominated right from the start so they deserve it. They're a bloody good team, well-coached, with good support." Ringdahl said he is now done with coaching for good after answering an SOS at the start of the season to come out of retirement and take the reins at Riccarton. He also coachedRiccarton's previous title-winning sides in 2002 and 2004 but stepped away from coaching in 2020. 'I've really enjoyed it, it's kept me young,' he said. "But I've done my dash.'

Riccarton back in grand final after 21-year wait

Riccarton's Rewi Williams carries strongly against Linwood. PHOTO: ABRAHAM ATHERTON PHOTOGRAPHY A massive preliminary final victory over Halswell Hornets has given Riccarton Knights their first grand final berth since 2004. The Knights will meet perennial champions Linwood Keas – who have had a week off after beating Halswell in the major semi-final two weeks ago – at Ngā Puna Wai on Sunday. Riccarton toppled Halswell 36-16 at Halswell Domain on Saturday, thanks to a double from centre Matarini Halbert-Pere. While Riccarton have been short of silverware, not winning the premiership since 2004, Linwood have enjoyed a slew of trophies in recent years with seven titles in eight years from 2016-23. While recent history is on Linwood's side, the Knights have had the edge in grand finals. They beat Linwood in the 2002 and 2004 deciders. But the Keas won both meetings between the teams during the regular season and topped the round-robin. Riccarton finished in third. The women's final on Sunday will see Linwood play Sydenham Swans, while Eastern Eagles play Halswell Hornets in the Canterbury Cup reserve grade final. Celebration Lions and Eastern's division​ ​one teams ​do battle in their final. All games will be played at Ngā Puna Wai.
