Most important Ladder in Newcastle sporting history has been updated:
OK
Ok let me explain it yet again for the peanut gallery... In Grade Football, 1st Grade IS the most important grade as relegation and promotion is all gauged by 1st grade results.... hence if 2nd & 3rd grade come first minor major even if you like and 1st grade don't even make finals then that club doesn't get promoted now if the 1st Grade team comes last in this case then regardless of 2nd & 3rd's wining the premiership that club Will be relegated.... 2nd and 3rd grade are there to SUPPORT 1st grade...I have noted this previously if people cared to read thoroughly you wouldn't have asked the above and that's the bottom line .... And anyone playing the other grades should be striving to play 1st grade anyways
It makes sense to have the most important grade played first up in the day, so the supporting grades are fresher to be used for backup and then after the main event can play their own games. At least we have got something right.
OK
3rd grade gets to use the pitch first when it’s in the best condition and the bar/canteen is fully stocked. Surely that means it’s the main event
I'll be honest, at first I thought it was just a multi having fun. But this is amazing. ZL1 winning the best thread convos this season by a mile.
Even more proof that Zone League 1 is the most important league as well. NPL, NewFM and ZPL should be taking notes on how to become the premier division in the area. Cause this is where it's at baby.
I’ll get the ball rolling with predictions this week. As always 3rds
Jesmond v Wallsend - Draw
Wallsend have been disappointing from recent times and Jesmond are just frustrating. I can see them frustrating their way to a draw.
- Wallsend to score first and last
Cookshill v Westlakes - Form snapping win for Westlakes
CH are the only team I haven’t seen, but judging from their ladder position they’re good and judging from our ladder position we are not as good.
- WL to score first and defend like hell for most of the game
New Lambton v Stockton - NL
NL are a very tidy side and I feel are one of the more threatening sides out side the top 4. I can’t see Stockton getting past NL tight defence.
-NL to not concede and Stockton not to Score
Hamilton v Suburbs - Suburbs
Both very very good sides. I see this being the match of the round across all Newcastle leagues. Just a Spectator should make room in his busy first grade watching schedule to check this fixture out.
- Suburbs to win, both teams to score.
Maryland v Uni - Uni
I feel for Maryland as we have been in their position before and it gets harder as the season goes on. If only it were Uni holidays.
- Maryland to score and lose
Good luck to all
