Yep trials are trials but it gets to where the team is at with their build up preparation
We are two weeks out from start of comp, Magic as a comparison played a pretty hot Jets Youth squad, without worrying about the result Magic are playing tougher competition and seem to be further along
Azzurri are two weeks out, can’t get all players on the pitch, seem to have coaching issues and are playing weak opponents
I know we’re my money’s going
CCB vs Kotara South.
Even the 20's only knocking off the Kotara lads 2-0. Could have been a mix of 20's/18's who knows. Obviously the CCB boys were much quicker/younger/better players all round than the Kotara south team. I would've expected them to put a few more past the Tigers. Game was pretty much what I expected, Tigers chasing shadows for most part of the game. Probably about 5 or 6 of the Kotara boys are genuine 3rd graders.
(1st grade) Heard a few of the CCB boys were moaning about playing a ZPL team. It was not a bad game to watch considering its still only early march. A few of the Kotara boys have played at this level (some years ago). Charlestown dominated for most part of the game. I'm sure Goodchild finished with all 3 goals. Kotara scored 1 pretty well constructed goal and the second goal from the attacker pinching the ball off a defender and a quality cross with a nice tap in. Im sure the CCB players would've walked off thinking it was a good hit out still
Hearing Tanch's frustration on the bench, I wouldn't like to be at their training this week.
Thanks To Charlestown for the late call up, good luck to them for the season
Only what’s been reported here,on newy sports or their own Facebook page
Win against Cooks Hill
Draw against Adamstown
Loss to Maitland
Win against belswans
Win against Kotara
All the above is irrelevant, it’s what happens in two weeks that matters
Just would have expected more in the pre season, so based on pre season if I was having $$ on NPL my money wouldn’t be on Azzurri
Grant Brown to Maitland
Was at the game and was a very impressive display considering both line ups. Jets youth was pretty much a Jets reserve team and magic missing a couple of key boys but it was great to see Dino Faj get some minutes and do quite well. I really rated Vujica this year, he started the season like a beast but on Sunday he looked a long way from that player. Champness was busy, but the rest of those experienced boys that should be pushing for first team action weren't that impressive. Both of their goals came from really sloppy defending from some young magic boys. There were a few solid challenges throughout the game which was fun to watch too. Good hit out for both sides I thought and one that Magic can take a lot from.
It's football, not s***er!!
How's Rosebud lookin this year fellas
