Stags v Southy:
17's: Southy 1-0
19's: Southy 6-0
23's: Southy 3-0
1st: Southy 2-0
I was out at a very cold Johnston Park with the late kick-off at 4pm meaning the game went into darkness. Quality day of football between Westy and Thornton.
17's: Westy 4-1 (solid victory to go back to the top depending on Lakes tomorrow)
19's: Draw 2-2 (great effort from lower-table Thornton. Westy wasted some chances)
23's: Thornton 5-2 (3-0 at half-time and should have been more. Westy 23's all over the place at times. Thornton back into finals contention)
1st: Draw 2-2 (cracking first half with all the goals scored. Both teams had chances to win late on. Thornton had a cracking long-range shot that would have been goal of the season had it dipped in. Not the result either side wanted in the race for finals.)
Heard kahibah u/23's might have broken a record for undefeated streak. Any truth Newyty?
Not sure. They've gone nine straight games without loss, four of them have been draws which is the only thing keeping them out of the top four. Definitely the best unbeaten streak for any team this season. Westy's 17's went with eight straight wins but lost to Lakes so didn't get the ninth.
Inside news says Kahibah will have multiple outs next week across all grades due to the Kanga Cup and a fair few of their players being in the team for the football school down the coast. Gumprecht will be coaching said side and they'll have five or six 1st graders out. Tough ask for a game against Lakes.
Also, loads of confidence coming out of Cessnock at the moment. I'm expecting them to bring a real challenge in 1sts against Kahibah in two weeks.
Finals not next Friday but the one after. Tournament starts on Monday 4th July (Kahibah play Lakes on Sunday the 3rd.) Heard that they were going to play and then travel down but the football school wants them down there on Sunday for the opening ceremony or something. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just one or two players but there's three first graders (including Gumprecht), at least two in 23's and three of the 19's. Will be interesting to see how they handle it; would imagine a domino effect with some 23's filling in for 1sts and so on.
Interesting stat about Magic 22's. Doubt there'll be any record better than that. Would be interested to see what the record is in New-FM alone.
Interesting article on The Herald website about a Westy's players comments made on Newysports facebook page. All a bit much IMO. Guess it gives them some positive publicity after their supposed 'Referee Recognition Round'. According to the article, it's a first for NNSWF to ban a player over ref comments. Nonetheless, I'm going to sit back and see how it pans out. One of those rare times I'm not at fault for some controversial comments on the page.

Looks like he got what he deserved, rules are rules
So you think the assoc is over-reacting to disparaging comments made by a player towards a referee? The player didn't mince his words. The club didn't deny the comments were made by their player either.
What were your thoughts on the RRR? Reading between the lines it sounds like you don't approve that it's required? Or do you think the idea fell flat? I personally didn't hear any comments or announcements made by clubs on game day
A bit much??? When the assoc keep losing referees at an alarming rate due to loose lips, the assoc need to make a statement, don't you think? Ppl keep complaining about quality of refs being poor. Quality can't improve if there are none to keep pushing those that are there. Maybe young Tye needs to be put through the referee exam and be made to do a few ZL3 lines to see what's it like. Zone league are always struggling for refs
Agree with Ty here. Another case of nnsw making up punishments to suit themselves. Agreed the guy deserves punishment for what he posted. But the regulations state that for such an offence the suspension is for 2 weeks for a players/officials first offence. So how to you come up with 4 weeks?
