There's a harbour derby? Haha sweet! You guys changed much since when we used to play you?
Kotara pre-season results

Res
Suns v Kotara 2-5
3rd
Suns v Kotara 1-6
Yeah like everyone else we are hoping for a big year! We have brought up some young guys which is good and haven't really loss to many faces! Can't wait for the season to start and see what some of the new teams are like... Jesmond look like they will be the team to beat!!!
Stocko preseason trial at Forster
Res 3-1 Tuncurry
Firsts 1-1
Heat was an absolute killer. Felt like we could only give 50%. Grass was taller than you'd see in an African Safari. Good for the fitness but
Jaliens gives me the horn
They only run firsts and reserves up there. Their season starts this weekend so they were fully match fit. Always felt like we could step up a gear but just coasted a bit yesterday
Harbour derby is a good day, when at yours hit the washtub after, and ours at lowlands. Yeah we've got a fair few ZPL guys drop down now we went into newfm so we feel pretty strong in 1sts and res but you never know till season starts. No idea what 3rd grade is like in ZL1
Certainly wouldn't be so quick to throw us out there as favourites. We lost the spine of our grand final team to Charlestown. Sweeper, centre back, midfielder and striker. Cb and cm were a part of every 1st grade award on presentation night. They may play this down but it's the truth. Other teams such as Kotara have been in ZL1 a lot longer than our one year too.
As for our win over Toronto, yes we're proud of that but without being disrespectful I'd be concerned going into their season. Until the authorities realise that all this criteria actually prevents teams 11 - 20 from actually competing against each other then there will be disparity in 2nd division and ZPL.
Look some team has to get the favourite tag!! Jesmond who made the GF last year and played brilliantly should have it on that basis.
I don't know bout some new teams coming in but I do know that we will respect all teams and I think that this year it's totally up for grabs...
CHARLESTOWN ZL1
Charlestown ZL1 are looking for a 3rd grade coach who is capable of running training sessions and is available weekends for game day.
If anyone is interested please PM me for contact details.
Hey Guys,
Warners Bay are looking for a trial for the Sunday 22nd March. Can use our ground. 3 grades.
Let me know if keen.
Cheers
Heard a rumour that Nelson Bay have gone down to 2's with Raymond Terrace coming up to 1's. Anyone confirm?

Haven't heard but I don't know why Olympic wouldn't come up they would do well
Have Olympic played any trials?
They have played us and their 1st grade was tidy and beat us lower grade different story... Haven't heard anything of what terrace has been doing? Mind you have heard little about the Bay this pre-season.... Would hate to see this division have a bye again
Lower grade different story? So they struggled?
