Agree. If you have a problem because a teen is playing too hard or has a bad day then you're part of the offended far Left Woke turdfest.
Accept it, move on. They aren't stealing cars. If anything It ensures that these lads don't play until the correct date. Time served end of.
Hot takes on the Youth Club Championship this year.
- Cookers = bottom feeders
- New Lambton Eagles = fighting Cookers for scraps
- Lakes = improvers. Will hold their own in most ages
- Magic = Hartley in but too late to stop the rot. Disappointing.
- Olympic = solid in most ages. Challengers.
- Edgy = middle of the road. Some good some not
- Valo = improvers. Growing club on the up.
- Jaffas = hot favourites. Won?t be out of the top four in any age.
- Maitland = going backwards. Middle at best.
- Weston = lower middle. Same as they ever was.
- North Coast = some good, some bad. Mainly bad.
- Mid Coast = fighting Cookers for those crumbs.
I get it that the split happens again halfway through but lets debate. I?m not wrong.
And the rest of the club championship?
Hearing a Belswans player got marched for giving the ref a mouthful.
Does anyone know how to access the club championship tables these days?
I can't seem to find them
I think its an excel sheet they put together when they go to do the draws, doesn't seem to be any sort of tracking happening for people to follow.
I did it myself...although the source table is a bit "iffy" (a few tier II teams haven't played a game yet)
So present standings after a whole 2 rounds (some have only played once)
Div1 standings
1-Olympic
2-Magic (pretty sure a goal needs to be added for last weekend's 14s)
3-Edgeworth
4-North Coast
5-Lakes
6-Valentine
7-Jaffas
8-Weston
9-Mid Coast
10-Maitland
11-New Lambton
12-Cooks Hill
Div2 standings
1-Charlestown
2-NIAS (no18s)
3-Kahibah
4-Rosebuds (no15s)
5-South Cardiff
6-Belswans
7-Cessnock
8-Thornton
9-Toronto
10-West Wallsend (no games listed)
11-Wallsend (only 18s, no games listed)
Has there been any sanctions placed on Admastown for not fielding a team this year in one of the grades.I am assuming that Wallsend 18s are part of NIAS.Last year it didnt really matter for Charlestown as they dropped from Div 1 into Div 2 mid year and didnt come back up.If Adamstown stays in Div 2 this year but qualify for Div 1 in 2025 will they be allowed?I read that there was nothing done unless it was 2 years in a row but didnt know if that policy continued this season.
I don't know...but not having access to results in 15s will give less opportunity to earn the number of points required to stay in tier 2 when the season split happens. (And the opportunity to rise back to tier 1 at the end of the season)
Even with the absent 16s at Charlestown last year, I feel Charlestown would still have finished in tier 2 and be in the same position this season...was a very poor and sad season to have been involved in
***Someone reached out to me last night and told me NIAS' relationship with Wallsend u18s...so will add them together when Wallsend has a game
I am happy to update my spreadsheet and share the results after each round too if people will enjoy
Wallsend don't have an u18. Been replaced with a bye.
So few games went ahead this weekend...but an updated club championship ladder for Div 1&2.
(Don't want to type out my whole spreadsheet I've got going but there is a difference in number of games played, etc)
Div1:
1: Magic
2: NCF
3: Olympic
4: Jaffas
5: Edgeworth
6: Lake Macquarie
7: Valentine
8: New Lambton
9: Cooks Hill
10: Maitland
11: Mid Coast
12: Weston
Div2:
1: NIAS
2: Charlestown
3: Kahibah
4: Belswans
5: Cessnock
6: Rosebuds
7: South Cardiff
8: West Wallsend
9: Thornton
10: Toronto
11: Singleton
Absolutely...so for extra context...

He is, but that's not why I am doing this...
You'll probably notice it is club championship rather than just his team...
And, that I have gone to the additional effort to gather the info for the 2nd div.
And, have now added tracking of the Syd Div1 Youth league as well...I don't have any association with either
Back to point 1, I even went to the trouble to highlight the number of games played by each of the tier 1 clubs to try and contextualise the above placings 🤷
Personally...I just thought pro/rel made it interesting. When I asked people here if there was a tracking page, I was told to make my own so I started a spreadsheet...then thought the other members of this forum would find it interesting to see a weekly update as well
Is there some problem with that? Do you not want to see it?
Some of us appreciate your efforts for what they are so thank you. Especially having a kid at Charlestown looking for promotion 👍
