We have a draft copy at Wallsend at the moment. I think I remember we have kahiba first up away on the sat 11/04. Im guessing as its a draft all games would be subject to alteration.

The association in all it glory has decided in the event of a colour clash the "AWAY TEAM" must change... Crazy, since the home side will have a change of strip in their sheds...
Anyway, Anyone here going to clash ?

I thought it was always home side changes in interdistrict competitions but as soon as you hit Zone Leagues it was away side?

The year before last we had to change as the away team, even had to wear berros 3rd strip on their old boys day. Wasn't that good feeling smacking them for 17 goals conceding one in their colours over three grades.

I know Jesmond are red and yellow stripes Mayfield I assume will be green and gold stripes Dudley are white and black (white with black trim) Raaf are sky blue, Valentine im sure are full orange or they will be navy, New Lambton I think are navy aswell. The only two I cant think of are edgy who I last remember were also black and white, and Abermain cos there a mystery.

Incorrect and correct,
AA and juniors etc the home side changes.
This is as Irish says the home side should have spare set in the sheds.
In Zone league it has always been the away side changes, has been that way for a very long time same as NPL, 2HD etc .

Interesting to see some night matches over the ANZAC weekend

I noticed that in the FFA Cup Rnd 1 Results it had Belmont Tingira forfeiting to Newcastle Suns.
Does this mean that Valentine ZL3 team were not ready to play this match?

Or are there rules in place that one club - one entry? Where as the two Dudley teams entered are two separate clubs - Dudley Seniors and Dudley Juniors.

Far as I understand only one club can enter a team we at Wallsend couldn't enter our zl3 team as our newfm wanted to play. But some clubs get around it with the JFC or SFC titles
Berro and Mayfield and Dudley like you say do that.

The two Mayf teams are completely different, just like New Lambton, but Wallsend are the same club, same as if the Lambton Jaffas had a ZL side, it's still the same club, same as olympic and uni.

Clubs don't get around it this way. They are, in all of the cases mentioned above, in fact two very distinct clubs.

Just to be clear Dudley Redhead Seniors and Dudley Redhead Juniors (actually Dudley Redhead United) are 2 very different clubs. The seniors play at Dudley, do not share their oval or welcome the introduction of new teams to their club unless the new teams bring massive sponsorship $$$. United play out of Redhead. The 2 clubs have nothing to do with each other and are completely separate. I am sure Bero understand where I am coming from.

We had Raymond Terrace at Terrace on Thursday night and have booked in Warnersbay at Warners Bay for Sunday. Tell you what Raymond Terrace are looking the goods in ZL2 they are already ready for the season. One of the blokes was saying they have 42 players on paper with only 2 grades mentioning they have 19 players alone for reserve grade. How are you guys in ZL3 going for numbers?

New Lambton FC are looking forward to being apart of ZL3 this season and have had a solid pre season thus far. Our results have been as follows:

vs Plattsy (ZL2)
Reserves 2-1 Win
Firsts 2-1 Loss

vs New Lambton Eagles (ZPL)
Firsts 1-1 draw after normal time (5-4 loss on penalties) - FFA Cup Round 1.

Reserves 3-0 loss (vs their reserves/thirds in a trial match)

Vs Kahibah FC (New FM U/23s)
1-1 draw (a mix of our firsts and reserves)

We have an upcoming trial match against Merewether Advance (ZL2) on Sunday. Will update the forum on the results.

where are your players from? new lambton eagles are a decent side in zpl. plattsburg will go good in zl2. newfm kahibah should be way better than zl3 regardless of how theyll go.

New Lambtons results has put the competition on notice, They will be strong. Ive heard Raaf have had a few trials too. Hopefully all these teams that have had plenty of trials peak too early and fade towards the backend of the season. As they will hit the ground running.

We held some trials in November and have drawn players from all across the board. A few of us played all age for new lambton last year, got some boys from Mayfield ZL, plattsy ZL, a few boys who haven't played before, a few that played churches, some from all age at other clubs, some from south Cardiff juniors plus some promising juniors from our own club.

Trial against Merewether Advance (ZL2)
Ressies 3-0 win
Firsts 4-1 win

Really good effort by both grades to beat an established zone league side.

The squad is enjoying their football at the moment and can't wait to test themselves in our maiden season in ZL3.

Heard Raff had a trial against plattsy. 3-3 draw in firsts, 5-1 win in ressies.

Yeah I saw some of that. Teams were pretty even.

Nice that the club has turned All/age and juniors into a "senior" club as well.

I remember when Cooks hill only had 3/4 allage teams basically in lower AA grades not all that long ago.

What team do you play for hawk?

When you talk about it being even, did you mean our game or the RAAF game?

Both grades were fairly even yesterday and first grade was certainly a much tighter affair than the score line suggested.

It was just good to have a nice clean game of football beats some of the dropkicks you have to vs in all age haha!

Played for too many clubs, Northern, ID's, AA, churches, 30+ yrs will do that to ya.

your game v wethers was pretty even. I thought merewether had a touch more spark going forward but early days for everyone. your left back scored a good one

Wow is that a sledge or are you after a bite. Id say you have based your comment on dudley's embarrassing exit from ffa cup? The side that played that day is totally different from the one that will run out in zl3 first grade.

For starters we only has half the squad available, Secondly since then we have signed some good players. Overall there is 11 new players to the squad, 9 of which have played ZPL in the last couple of seasons with 3 playing regular first grade. Lastly, The team is much fitter now, which isnt hard.

Happy to see where we end up this year. By the way you forgot to say what team you are associated with? Obviosly one with high hopes.

I know it might seem too simple but have you thought about having players play between AA and L3 reserves when they can? if you have any friday night AA players or AA players who play early in the day, they can fill in for you. Same with juniors. Approach your club and ask about the legalities. It would be terrible if you dropped out.

Spoke with Newcastle Football today and we at Wallsend wont be dropping out of the competition.
We now have enough numbers with a couple of multi registered players.
Now we just have to try and get up to speed in the short space of time before the season starts as we don't want to start poorly.
I know it isn't the correct place on the forum to ask but if any teams are after a trial game before the start of the season we are keen.

Wow forzavolia or voilet is it? Back to your best, dudley behind the bye. I still think you are in hiding, im guessing your one of the following?

* current player with another zl3 team possibly a new team, maybe new lambton or kahibah?

*former dudley player?

*Or someone that hates dudley itself? Possibly someone that wanted to live in dudley area or use the beaches at dudley or redhead and was never socialy accepted there?

One of those 3 I reckon???

For the record. Predictions

1-Raaf
2-New Lambton
3-Wallsend
4-Dudley
5-Mayfield
6-Kahibah
7-Edgeworth
8-Jesmond
9- Abermain

Very difficult to rate form on new teams. New lambron look strong. Wallsend and Kahibah will benefit from having higher league teams and experience in ranks. Raaf have had many trials and their results have been good. Mayfield could be bolters given their finish last year. Edgeworth will be competitive. Unsure on jesmond and abermain, hence their predictions finish.

Wow forzavolia or voilet is it? Back to your best, dudley behind the bye. I still think you are in hiding, im guessing your one of the following?

* current player with another zl3 team possibly a new team, maybe new lambton or kahibah?

*former dudley player?

*Or someone that hates dudley itself? Possibly someone that wanted to live in dudley area or use the beaches at dudley or redhead and was never socialy accepted there?

One of those 3 I reckon???

correct, it is violet, in italian. if you know football, you know. if you don't, you support liverpool. its a little saying i have.

a conglomerate of all three, or maybe a mixture of two? definitely not one. you decide.

Wallsend vs Kahibah @ The Gardens

Res - 2 all
Overall if Wallsend could have finished there chances they would have won.

1st 3 - 2 to Wallsend
2 keeping mistakes, one from each side had the game at 1 all. A scrappy goal from Kahibah put them up 2-1. A few minutes later back to 2 all with a screamer from outside the box. Not too much longer Wallsend up 3-2 with a header from a corner.

Great hard fought game from Kahibah. Wouldnt expect anything less from the battles we have had over the last few seasons in ZL1 and ZPL. Will do well this season. Good luck for the year boys.

As an old **** with a drinking problem no i couldn't do better I am not a football player anymore I am a drinker.

That reserve game I agree with the above poster.

First grade before I comment on the game Wallsend that was a terrible act of sportsmanship . Their player went down for about 5 minutes near play . Everyone could see him but they continued to try and score instead of kicking the ball out. Fair enough it is their player right? But Kahibah stole the ball put a threw ball through. The guy was on a break away and only then Wallsend appealed to the ref to stop play and he did. Why didn't you stop for your own player while you had the chance? To make it worse the guy then got up and played on. Kahibah was robbed at the chance to go up 2-0 and that was the game. Can you explain that WFC ZL.

2 'screamers' for Wallsend were from to far out and at the keepers head and he almost ducked to miss them. I am not sure if bad day for the keeper or he always plays like that.

Both teams will go good in first grade. Not sure about reserves it was an ugly game to watch.

1. The Lambton of new - Team to beat.
2. Dudley- I watched the FFA cup game vs Mayfield and I to would have put them behind the bye but I was told that was their reserve side. I heard a rumour they signed most of Dudley reserves Zpl now if this was true Dudley Zpl reserves are quality after watching them play mayf last season and they would walk this comp? But Im guessing it's just half the team from this forum banter?
3. Mayfield - Hopefully #1 but had a good crack at the team to beat and will finish much higher than last season that's all I will say
4.Wallsend - This is just of today never seen them or Kahibah play and I am giving them the edge as they won the game.
5.Kahibah- explained above.
6.Raaf - Comp has improved from last season only reason for this rank.
7.Edgie- Could suprise as two all age teams come up.
8. Jezo - Lost to last years spooners have an 8th.
9. Abermain- You guys could come first, Could come last no idea Is there even a football pitch in Abermain. Does Abermain even exist? In a town were thugby is prominent I have no clue what to expect and I've thrown you last because I am not going there to watch football.

As for 1st Mayfield look better than last year and scored a dubious 1st and a bomb second. NL looked good at times but really flat mostly and literally uninterested. Whatever the coach said at half time must have been good as they rolled home. They are certainly a favourite. My question , who are they? Not ex Eagles that I can see?

One thing for sure is that this comp will be very hard fought at the top end. New Lambton appear early favourites, credit to them for putting together a strong squad. Im sure raaf, wallsend, kahibah, mayfield and hopefully dudley will be pushing them hard.

Raaf have had plenty of trials, so expect them to hit the ground running this weekend. Mayfield finished as strong as anyone last year, so If they repeat that then they will be strong. Kahibah and wallsend will have zpl experience, so they should perform strongly. Hard to judge dudley yet, trial form
was patchy and still havnt had great numbers available as yet.

As for Edgeworth, Abermain and Jesmond. Their goals should be to be competitive. Im sure 1 or 2 might suprise and push for a semi spot. But it's a good comp, establishing yourself and building for season 2 would is important.

RES 0-1, fair result, NL dominated possession 1st half and scored from a pen (it was a pen) Tough game, physical but fair, Dudley much better in 2nd half and could have drawn although NL hit the post off a 25mtr free kick.
1st 2-1, again fair result, NL scored from a pen (again a fair pen) decent game without reaching great heights. 7 or 8 guys out but every team every week will be in a similar boat.

NL look good at times but need to play like graded players. Well deserved Dudley. Same story as last week for the new boys.

Not sure about your ex-dudley source's theory on the game or your ex dudley source full stop? Easy to use the ex whoever source. The earlier post about game appeared very accurate to me.

Maybe your source had a little bit to drink? Or was he watching a different game? One thing he got close, The ground was poor. Absolutely outclassed and dudley absorbing all that pressure, please. NL only got on the board with a pen (same in ressies) Alot of talk around, points are what counts.

NL did deserve ressies win. Totally dominant in first half but only managed a couple of serious chances.Dudley were poor first half, but had the chances to at least score one.

Hats of to the refs, had alot of pressure put on them in both games . Stood firm, got all the big calls right. No need for NL player to clearly label referee in ressies game which was heard by many. No need for those comments, lucky to get away with it.

NLFCZL
19-04-2015, 01:03 PM
The games were both very even and well contested, I think dudley will win a lot of games out at Liles due to that surface, and all power to them, thats a part of football at all levels (check out sheffield united or blackpool for example).

Number 3 in the midfield in 1sts for dudley was very off the pace and lucky not to get a yellow for repeated infringements in fouling trying to keep up with play. Intelligent decision by the dudley coach to sub him and it paid off as they sprung to life.

I think you will find those words from the nl ressies player were aimed at your ressies side, not the referee, as that nl player had been instrumental in getting the ball over the sideline each time one of your players went down (and then back to you from the drop ball), only for you not to return the favour when his foot went down in one of the liles gopher holes. The referee actually apologised to him at full time for not pulling it up.

Teams heading out to liles should be aware that there are literal holes in the ground, and the grass is at times ankle height due to the softness of the pitch.

Overall the club as a whole put on a nice away day and those volunteering in the canteen were helpful with ice etc as always.

Some interesting results around the league too, this year is going to be very well contested.

everyone loves the forum banter. its second only to on field banter.

for the record, we had trials, however as the idea was hatched up by an all age side the requirement was that returning members of that all age team were all selected and the rest of the squad filled from trialists.

we do have a junior pool of more than 1000 now, so we're expecting more and more to choose from in the future. The ZL3 initiative was more a community based idea than anything else, we wanted a clear pathway and progression for our juniors to have somewhere to go to play senior graded football rather than quitting after 18s or having to go trial for another club after being here since u6s etc. IMO local football should always be community first before anything else.

NL vs Kahibah on friday night.

Dudley definitely have to wear the favourite tags now I think.

Dudley favourites? Hardly, Wallsend and Kahibah results show that they are the 2 teams to beat. Dudley, Raaf and New Lambton will be thereabouts. As will Mayfield, They started slow last year and finished strongly.

Been a different forum this year, A
fair bit of roasting and a touch of comedy. We at dudley have been at the bottom (2014), Hopefully we will continue to improve and get some results. We respect all teams, Thanks New Lambton for the praise and yes I do agree the field was terrible. Hopefully that was the only game on that field this year, Ground has been in the hands of the council not our club.

I will also say well done to New Lambton in putting together a quality squad for season 1( I will toast as oppose to roast). You may have the eagles concerned down the track. Its difficult for clubs get a foothold in zone leagues, association may have to look at this as there has been some big scorelines in all zone leagues so far this season. Its important that clubs are sustainable, success is important for this in somes cases.

Maybe the weirdest football day ever. Senior ref arrived late, 2 other refs were determined to call games off. Senior ref arrives, game on, then game off, then game on, then game off, then after much protest game on. Ruled at 1.20, resssies 35 min halves. Field f--ken wet, smell of effluent in the air. God damn fun to play. Slide tackle = free kick.
Anyhow - Dudley win res 3-2, tough game in trying conditions. Well done to old fella "steve" who scored putting RAAF up 1-0, he is 52! Top stuff from our boys holding their heads high, last year we would have lost this game by 3. Great effort from both teams considering. RAAF came out fighting in second half but Dudley boys hung tough.
1st Dudley 4-1, score reflects the game, Dudley handled the conditions better and played a shorter sharper passing game. Dudley lucky not to be down to 10 in the first 5 mins due to a hand ball on the line but RAAF scored so the pen obsolete and fella stayed on! Dudley continue to display massive improvement from last year. Wont mention names but CB continues to dominate and has scored every game, quality player. What a blessing we now do not have the make up game. It appears RAAF wil do whatever they can to play home games as they do not have lights so SAT/SUN is their only option for make up games.

How good is sunday zl3 football. A breakaway from the normal. So i ventured to watch dudley v wallsend since the game was postponed. And lets be honest. The ref has tried his best to control the outcome of both grades. Not even watchin raaf play yest provided so much entertainment. A pen in each game to wallsend that lets be honest would struggle to provide a free kick in any other game. God knows how many free kicks. And a bucketload of yellows/reds should have been given to both teams once the ref lost control. But back to the football. Reserve grade was a shut out to wallsend. Geez they looked good. 1st grade. Dudley took a long time to settle. Scored 2 against the run of play. But once settled made wallsend look underdone and flat for entire 2nd half. Both dudley CB and both ST looked immense. After what ive seen i hope the chance arises to watch some more zl3. Always good to know your competition

I dont like to bag refs, but that ref needs to learn that the game is not about him. He also needs to learn that he is refereeing football not netball. So much time waisted talking crap to players, hard to get respect. 2 crap penalties to wallsend in firsts and ressies that could have had an affect, but luckily didnt.

I think going off of form Dudley would have to be favourites. Kahibah are strong and I wouldnt write off New Lambton, they may have not have had the strongest start but they are a well drilled and structured team from whats been seen. We are just happy to get a run of games going finally. Playing the 1st round then having the bye and then 2 weeks of washouts was not a good Way to get the season started.

Tonight's results

Res 10-1 Edgeworth. That pretty much sums it up.

1sts 2-2. Mayfield 2-0 down at halftime and came home strong. Mayfield had enough opportunities to win comfortably, but the referee didn't help. Edgy player already on a yellow takes a guy down in the box (and was the last man). Ref says I won't give you a yellow because you've already got one. Love the quality of ZL3 referees!

Kurri didn't storm home and win anything, simba won the comp with games to go and we're favourite from start to finish. I guess Kurri won the novelty of the grand final but that's all it is a novelty it really don't mean much in the long run.

NLFC vs Edgeworth likely to be called off already. Alder Park was already pretty damaged from the Eagles playing there last week, plans were in place for a bunch of the squad to be up at the crack of dawn to sand the trouble spots on Saturday but this looks futile now with todays rain. Will know the verdict tonight.

Yep, RAAF will play in a monsoon (last week) or in a superstorm (dudley game). Suits them fine, the balls are plastic kmart balls, and the away shed is more akin to the 'showers' in a certain polish 'work camp'. Be prepared if you go up there, im still finding mud in places I didnt know existed.

RAAF v Wallsend @ Tomago

Ressies: Wallsend 4-2
Another good win for the boys to keep the momentum going.

1st Grade: Wallsend 5-4
Well what to say about this game but wow. RAAF were up 3-0 within 10 minutes. We looked flat and tired from the midweek catchup game. Couldnt get the ball in midfield and everytime it was given away RAAF broke forward with speed cutting us apart. A formation change and early sub paid dividends and had it back to 3-2 at halftime.

2nd half the RAAF were still in control but we were better at soaking up the pressure. A ball lost in midfield and a quick ball through had the RAAF back in front at 4-2 and looked like shutting the game out. All credit to our boys though. We dug in and with about 15 to go pulled one back with a break down the right and cross to the far stick for a header into the top corner. 8 minutes to go managed to equalise again with another break out wide our player cutting in and squaring it up for the striker to take a touch and finish. Our striker was then sent for a 2nd yellow but with about 2 to go a cleared ball from defence found our 2nď striker one on one with a defender, turned him inside on the edge of the box and put the ball away for the winner.

RAAF definitely have the quality to hurt teams and they play some nice football. Goodluck for the season.

First grade Dudley pretty much in control, Edgie could have hit first with a quick break only to push the shot wide. Dudley then created the next few real chances and took one. Pretty fair result vs a very competitive team with some quality young lads, quite nippy.
Res saw 2 pens to Dudley, they were pens as there was contact made but jeez they were soft, if they had of gone the other way I'd be pist! 2 reds given, 1 each team. 1 was 2nd yellow after reacting to being stomped about 6 times by the Edgie player, Dudley player took his shirt off and threw it on the ground before going off, 2nd red was a straight red for stomping on the Dudley player 6 times.

With only 18 available lucky to have 4 all age lads come out to fill reserves squad. Reserves was a frustrating game our worst performance all season but we were still really unlucky not to score a fair few.
First grade- With 4-5 usual first grade starters out the lads responsible for many of the reserve grade goals this season made the move to firsts and played brilliant. The blokes coming back will have a fight for there spot after todays performance. Boys got up 2-0 fairly quick and never looked back. Very happy in the sheds.

Im not suprised that kahibah ressies players played well in firsts. I think there are one or two standouts in ressies that should have been in firsts anyway. Kahibah are a strong club, numbers appears to be an issue as it is with other clubs. You need at least 30 players in your squad with the ability to draw on players from all age to be competitive over the whole year.

Kahibah vs raaf

Irish here, Manager of the Kahibah Squad.
At the weekend against the RAAF, I witnessed something special from one of the RAAF guys and just wanted to note it.
In the Ressie game, it was a close 0-0 battle and towards the end of the 1st half one of my guys shoulder was injured and causing him pain. (we also had no subs)
Leaving the field, one of the RAAF guys offer to strap up his shoulder so he could continue playing.
So at half time this RAAF guy took out some sports strapping tape from his own bag - the really good stuff, ya know that black sports tape you see the NRL guys wearing on TV, not the crappy brown stuff we all get from coles.
He used like half a roll too...
Not sure anyone else from any other club would have done this ... Was amazing, and just a touch of class.
And believe it not, after the game finished he also gave my guy an ice-pack from his bag.

If any RAAF guys read this forum, can you let me know your guys name and what he drinks and when you come to Kahibah ill have an ice-cold 6-pack of beer in the dressing room for this guy.

Thank you so much again, and really hope the RAAF go well this year.
Great bunch of players all round.

First Grade 3-0 to NL

Just a reminder, not on dudley directly but we've had three home games now and each time this has happened, Alder Park has a liquor licence, so please don't be bringing your own eskies.

Firstly, it's against the law and puts us in a dangerous position.
Secondly, it takes money off local clubs. We always try to buy from a club if they have it when we go away, so it would be lovely if the favour was returned.

We'd been at the ground since 8am (and all day the day before) sawdusting, brooming, and sanding it so it wouldn't have to be called off today. Much thanks to any NLFC lads who read this. Long day, time for a few well earned beers.

Dudley lads, how is the bloke who went off? Injury looked nasty.

Dudley lads, how is the bloke who went off? Injury looked nasty. Saw this game from the comfort of the bowlo. NL were dominant. They are well structured, technically good and seemingly well coached which means that their current coach must have learnt something over the years aside from kicking defenders and poaching goals off the hard work of others! Dudley had a few chances off a couple of errors but thats all. The NL keeper made some great saves and Dudley maybe deserved a goal but they were well beaten really. Are they first in this league? Not at Kahibah or NL level. Also whats with NL numbers? The Chelsea look works but the numbers makes them look like an NFL team!

Credit to New Lambton on getting games on, credit on the results too. Too good on the day, key players missing on the dudley side was a factor, but thats football.

Score flattered NL in firsts a bit, probably only a goal better on the day at best. 2 late goals, one penalty that was milked well once keeper came out and a 3rd that was clearly offside (sun in eyes of linesmen) made scorewhat is was. NL keeper and No 8 were the difference on the day. Keeper made 2 good one on one saves that were vital at the time. 2 tough games, final series should be the same.

the 3rd goal was clearly onside. Your boys rushed up and the left back nearest to the AR lagged behind. Kept the goal scorer on by at least a metre. Guess it's pretty hard to see from halfway!

Jesmond have had a tough year, Although Zl3 is a tough comp to enter first year as dudley can agree with. At least this year Simba, cooks hill and kurri have gone up. There does appear to be big gaps in top of the table to bottom in all Zone leagues this year, something thay association may need to look at in future years. Otherwise players/clubs may take easy option of playing all age.

Jesmond have struggled badly number wise, getting 15 or so consitently for 2 games. I know kahibah have also struggled, but most other clubs have big numbers to cover this.

Mayfield appear to have lost some quality from last year, you cant replace that overnight. NL have done extreamly well this year, good squad. Probably one club that could go further up the leagues.

Not sure about RAAF or Edgey Juniors and I am not sure where Abermain is. What I see from these interesting little forums is that there seems to be a lot of chest beating but very little reality. Excuses for lack of numbers, or losing players season to season highlights that this division carries too many players who are comfortable at the lowest tier. There are players who could and should play higher and teams who will. Just my opinion, although I like to think I know a little bit.

Can only be 1 of the other 2 big 3 because it most certainly is not Dudley / Redhead.

If I knew a team had done this and it hindered on my finals hope I'd definitely report it. No point in 'hoping' that they don't have success, sounds like they already have if they are one of the 'top 3'

i know a team that has done that many times this season. They are one of the big 3 teams too. Took alot of points of us but nobody has any interest in chasing it up so.

Hopefully those games dont stop as making the 4 and hopefully this team doesnt win promotion as it would be a shame to people that have done things right.

As stated before, its not dudley. As stated before, its a top 3 club. Unless stated puts all top 3 teams under microscope. If there is truth in it, action should be taken. If its a rumour, then top 3 teams have been unfairly mentioned.

Why not chase it up then?

He is claiming it to be us (Wallsend) I have asked him for his 'multiple' examples and told him that we are happy for them to take it further so we can clear these false accusations. I even offered to help them with it, but was told "he didn't want to take it further but is annoyed we lied", why bring it up if you don't want to follow it up?

The first example he did provide was completely false, claiming a player was unregistered, the player in question played 2 games in one day in Round 1 but it was under his own name because he was registered, he played for both reserve grade and first grade. Why would we have a player take the field under 2 different names? Why didn't you follow it up on the day? Because we have done nothing wrong, that's why. I have requested the team sheets so I can prove that we haven't lied.

The second example was one of their NEWFM players playing for us against them. He was playing with Kahibah NEWFM and he deregistered with them after the Wallsend and Kahibah NEWFM game as he wasn't happy with Kahibah, Kahibah's registrar approved it and then I (Wallsend's registrar) approved his registration with us on the Thursday prior to the game.

Unless he was meaning one of our NEWFM players, which if that's the case the player he is talking about deregistered from NEWFM as he couldn't make the training commitments and signed with us, I am happy to show proof for both of these examples.

Feels like he is grasping at straws, We are a new team in ZL3 in the same boat as Kahibah with our last year squad going to NEWFM and us club guys starting the new team, this sounds like they are not happy we are performing better then them and they are trying to think of ways to climb up the ladder.

Hopefully once this is proven there will be an apology after these false accusations.

I accused you of nothing Wallsend inboxed me stressing out. The only team of the big 3 that did from a off hand comment

It was never going further.

First round a player that played both grades for them. I was there when he told one of our guys. 'He is not playing for wallsend and he doesn't no were he is playing he is just filling in for the day'. This player has played no more games for them. This was hes exact words.

So you could see how things got crossed.

It seems wallsend must of signed him up on the thursday and let him de register right after the game but thats not what the player made it sound like. So i take my comments back and will now remove myself from the forum

Alls good chill out move on with football. Sorry wallsend .. :)

If people like king disrespect new teams and they drop out ,ZL3 will never get a 10 team comp. you only have to look at Dudley who finished with the spoon last year and currently sitting on top (would have been a shame if they just packed it in).

Yes I hope Jesmond and Abermain keep at it, I hope Dudley get their "missing" players back before finals and keep the minor premiership as the table says they deserve it. For the record, I hope its a NL and Wallsend GF as it will put the 2 best teams on show in ZL3. Hows that? Love fest over.

The biggest impact it will have is who will be challenging NL for the top spot. I dont see any teams taking points from NL's first grade for the rest of the season, and with their games in hand will cruise to the Minor Prem. Not to rule out the chance of upsets, but they are a solid team. You just can't score against them.

My prediction of the top 4:

New Lambt
Dudley
Wallsend
RAAF

NL v Wallsend GF

NL on pens (4-3)

Yeah I agree that Dudley won't be minor premiers they had a great start to the season but NL are starting to fire now. NL are very strong in defense and scoring against them is tough. 0-0 draw with Wallsend last round I think there will be a few goals next time!

Hi Boys,

In the event we make finals... Just want to know the ruling when playing players in a grade... I got this from the association... Does this mean a guy needs to have played (66%) 11games for that grade for him to qualify ?
Christ with all the injuries we've had and the shuffling around this is a bit of a balls....

E51 FINAL SERIES PLAYER ELIGIBILITY

(a) The eligibility of a Player to play for a Reserve or Third Grade in a Finals Series Match shall be determined by the Regulation that each Player competing in that Grade must have been listed in the starting eleven (11) of that Grade for not less than sixty-six percent (66%) of the Official Fixtures Draw Matches for the competition Season in which that Grade has competed (designated Goalkeepers exempt). Any Player who plays for a Reserve or Third Grade Team in a Finals Series Match without meeting the 66% requirement will be deemed an Ineligible Player for that Grade and the appropriate Regulations shall be applied. Each Club will be responsible for determining the eligibility of its Registered ZFL Players and must maintain a system of tracking each of its Players for the full competition Season by recording from Team Match Sheets the Players in the starting eleven (11) for each Grade for each Competition Match; this will allow the Club to list Players who qualify for each Grade by meeting the 66% requirement. It is anticipated that FoxSP will have a program that will permit this tracking to be done.

All the best to wallsend lad, hope your recovery goes well. Nobody expects to go to football and end up in hospital.

Wallsend firsts are favourites IMO, very dangerous going forward. Dudley has work ahead of them, but should have scored more goals.

Hey guys, this is the Wallsend player who broke his leg on the weekend! Just wanted to get on here and thank you all for the comments and support! I've managed to do a number on the leg in which I broke the tibia and fibula. I've now got a rod in my tibia from knee to ankle and we be off my feet for 6 weeks and then after that hopefully into physio and will be walking - running again in a few months. Thanks a lot to Dudley who showed a lot of concern during the incident! Please pass on a msg to your player who was involved and let him know that their is no hard feelings what so ever it was a 50/50 contest and I just ended up worse off. I knew all the risks of attempting to the get the ball.
Anyway, best of luck with the rest of the season and I'm sure I'll be watching you guys in finals from the sidelines!

A few clubs in higher divisons are known to stack lower grades. Its probably the reason association doesnt financially reward lower grades.
In such cases, theses teams become the hunted teams that everyone wants to beat. If true in this case, edgie may become this team.

To me last night’s result isn’t a big shock. 1st Round it was a 2-1 loss in 2nds and 5-1 loss in 1sts. Wallsend’s goals were a goalkeeping howler and a goal with 60 seconds to go. I thought we we’re unlucky not to get a point that day. Round 2 it was a 1-0 win in 2nds and 6-0 loss in 1sts. To me that’s not that big a turn around. As Wallsend said they had their chances to win it. Last night we were missing 4 guys from the 1st Round we had 15 that day. 2 out injured, 1 for the season. 1 moved up into 1st grade and 1 out suspended. The 2 guys that come in have been out injured since Round 9 haven’t trained weren’t 100% but played to give us numbers. 1 guy hasn’t play 1st grade and the other guy has played 6 games in 1sts. I sat 1 of our 1st graders on the bench to give us a 3 sub and only to use as an injury replacement. Our Captain came off injured then the 2 boys having their 1st run back didn’t last the 80 mins. So he went on or we would have had 10 players for the last 10 mins.
We have a fair few younger guys in 2nds, it has take some of them time to get used to senior football but finally finding their feet. Normally I wouldn’t say anything but I think they deserve a little bit of credit.

The Mayfield player that was sent claimed to have copped a knee to head, although to be fair the Dudley player was falling as a result of the slide tackle. Not exactly what you want to see on the football field, but think the right calls were made in the end. Not sure about the call for Mayfield's GK to get sent, barks bigger than the bite, and if everyone got sent for push and shove there would be a red every game!

Stacking ressies is only beneficial to one club.Does it really matter what happens in Reserve Grade? Stack Ressies to win what? Really, mixed results in Reserves should be because of teams making their 1sts stronger to cover injuries or absences. I saw some of the NL game in 1sts. A few new faces that I am guessing may be Reserve team players. It was the first time I have ever seen the RAAF team and certainly not the worst team in ZL3 or ZPL to grace Alder Park. They were well beaten by a better team on the day but certainly there is some talent. If NL are second do they have games in hand or are results not getting updated? When do they play Wallsend? That will be the game to settle this grade. Their coach doesnt return my calls anymore!! As for Jesmond forfeiting Reserves. Opponents should front up as if on and accept the forfeit if they fail to turn up. Relying on rumour is a joke.
