CARDIFF CITY FC ZPL are looking for trial games.

3 grades would be preferred, but is not essential.
Home ground issues for CCFC means we need to play away.

For any inquiries or further information contact

Felt bad for Uni 3rd grade as they were a bunch of decent ability kids let down by their first-grade team.

I always questioned why they did not just swap their 3rd grade and 1st grade teams, performances would have improved..

if they cant field three teams they should go to a two team comp.

CCFC were struggling last year and that was our only option we were told.

I think Morriset were caught in this predicament last time. They said they tried to get dropped, but it was too late. But this scenario was ZL2 team having to organise a whole new third team in order for Morriset to get dropped. May be wrong...

We played in a comp that had a team only fill 2 grades in a 3 grade comp and it wasnÂ’t right. We are looking at making a final call tonight and if as looks to be the case we drop down it will be our intentions to drop to ZL2 and hopefully this gives the association enough time to make the calls they need to. Whether that be send a team up or have a buy in one of the comps I guess itÂ’s up to them.

The right call to make. Tough situation and feel a bit for Terrace after being so strong for a number of years. Hopefully it's just a bad year and you can bounce back. Solid youth program up there, so no doubt you'll have a bunch of teens coming through shortly. Im sure you guys will do well in ZL2 if you do drop.

Not too sure about that. Every time we have played them on a Saturday up there all the juniors have wrapped up by the time kick off in 3rds.

ZL2 is a full 10 team comp and ZL3 only has 7 teams maybe slide all the way down to ZL3 as it would be tough for a ZL2 club to find a 3rd team and go up

Currently in a little bit of limbo with the junior and senior teams I think the eldest juniors we have are 16 ( not sure of the grade). But in saying that we have had 3 of our 14 year olds training with us all pre season and a 15 year old join our squad on a permanent basis. So It may take a year or two to get those teens coming through but we are definitely trying to close the gap there and filter them in when possible.

This is exactly why we have decided to make a call tonight. We have been in communication with those that matter and they keep telling us to hold out more players will come. Unfortunately the area we are in that’s not likely to happen. So we are trying to give as much notice so they can do something with time to spare instead of a couple of weeks out like they are suggesting to us.

New Lambton have to be the hot favourites this year! Merewether to be a surprise package and Barnsley to disappoint.
Burbs have made a few good changes and Westlakes will be old reliable. Hamilton, Maryland, Uni and Olympic to be the also ran clubs. Wallsend surely has to be paying $0.98 to get the wooden spoon. Only reason they didn’t get it last year was Wayne Edwards and he’s gone!

Ladder predictions below:

1. New Lambton

4. Merewether Advance
5. Stockton
6. Maryland Fletcher
7. Newcastle Uni

I think use may have Olympic a little to far down the ladder.
They have recently played Raymond terrace which were in zl1 at the time they played them and not only beat them gave them a bit off a touch up in both grades.
They also beat cooks hill which are now in zpl in both grades.
Yes it is only pre season but a lot of people seem to use this as a guide as to how the team is going to go.

Very true Olympic did put a lot past Terrace and looked quality. Terrace then dropped out of ZPL down to ZL2 and beat New Lambton 1-0 last Thursday. Apparently first game New Lambton hasnÂ’t scored in. And Terrace beat cooks hill too. So I guess what IÂ’m saying whilst itÂ’s all we can go off itÂ’s bloody impossible to predict where anyone will end up.

But can say both teams have strong 1st and Res teams and should do very well.

I reckon if 24 teams go ahead they make 3 8 team comps but u need to have finals
Even if it’s 1v4 n 2v3 in a one off game then a gf will add 2 rounds to a 14 round Comp still have 2 rounds to spare on current 18 round Comp no finals

There is no scope for finals at all. The competition is scheduled for 14 weekends, so 18 games would be played over 14 weekends.
Apparently there is only 14 weekends available before cricket gets the fields, that's with cricket already getting pushed back 2 weeks.
The uncertainty makes the decision difficult for smaller clubs. Bigger clubs will survive if they sit out the season, for the smaller clubs they could possibly fold if they sit out the season. As they would loose players to rival clubs, A blanket decision would be helpful in this case. That's what has happened in rugby union.

I agree with Swanky, it's the way to go. However which clubs would go where? and how do you even out the clubs to ensure that you've got the 3 or 2 divisions available? Might have to tell a ZFL1 club that they have to play "ZFL2" this year so must drop their 3rd grade? that's not fair on those players.

As for finals - play them at venues that don't share with cricket... some clubs have their fields all year around.

Do you want someone to get sick blame the club and then you have no club. Everyone is a volunteer they don’t need/deserve the pressure for a comp with no meaning. We all want to play but for your 90min think of the pressure on the unpaid committee and volunteers to uphold all the restrictions

how can someone blame a club if they get Covid, don't want to risk it, bubble wrap yourself inside and don't come out until when?????
if you are to worried about getting Covid, don't go to the games, don't want Covid don't go shopping, etc, etc ,etc.

Hi Hacker,

Clubs can only do so much. We can remind players and parents not to attend if they feel sick; we can follow the guidelines put forward by Northern., but if a player subsequently becomes sick the club is not to blame in the same way a club is not to blame if a player breaks their leg during a match.

There is a lot of fear in clubs around possible "blame" and Northern need to do better at explaining the guidelines and responsibilities. Without clear direction clubs will worry themselves into pulling out of comps. The guidelines are different and a little more work, but from what I have seen they are not overwhelming.

All I am saying is there is a lot of pressure on volunteers that aren’t trained in it all and for what maybe 10–12 games with no finals etc. I simply ask is it worth all the pressure on a handful of volunteers. We live in a world now where if you slip over you sue someone. People don’t take responsibility for themselves which is not right

Garden Suburb FC pulled the pin on our third grade.
It essentially came down to the fact that 3rd grade will only be a 10 game season and we couldn't justify charging a dozen or so blokes the registration required for only 10 games. Believe me it was a decision not taken lightly, I commend every club and the joint zone committee at this stage doing their best to give us a football season.

We're planning on organizing a inter club game on our bye weekends and hopefully being allowed to run some type of social gathering the same day.
It's not ideal but all the lads we have registered seem grateful to have something rather than nothing. It seems to be restrictions are being relaxed already so hopefully the social aspect of playing will be able to return in some form throughout the season.

So you're saying wethers scored 5 unanswered goals in the second half to romp home? Any interesting events cause this game of two halves? That's surely a game worth telling your grandkids about.

Yep - put 5 goals in during the second half. They had an injury late in the first half that saw one of their better players go off and a slight player/tactical switch at half time by us but nothing too drastic. Scored two in the first 10 of the second half and rode the momentum home really. A game we won't forget for a long time.....

Wallsend FC will be seeking clarification from Newcastle Football on whether the 1-1 result should stand, considering the referee indicated the game would be played out and was only abandoned after Olympic elected to end the match.

I'm a bit late to the party on this one but cheers to Olympic for the games this year...
All 4 games over the 2 grades have been really tough and very entertaining.
We have had many battles over the last few years in ZL2, but this years were really enjoyable and hard fought affairs.
Cheers Gentlemen!

Seriously the guy broke his tib and fib and all Wallsend are worried about is getting three points

Of course not. Everyone at Wallsend FC completely regrets to see injuries of such a nature to anyone in sport.

However, regard for the players well-being and a desire to finish the game considering the referee indicated there was ample opportunity to complete the fixture are not mutually exclusive actions.

Any other year I could see the point in trying to clarify what the outcome would be because it could be the difference with you getting promoted or making semis. But this year with none of that happening does it really matter if it finishes in a draw or not?

Surely everyone is aware that some clubs that elected to not field teams this season may have a very hard time putting together three grades next year, potentially create a free space in the league above.

That, or the potential repeat of Raymond Terraces fortunes to another club, means that we prefer to leave nothing to chance.

Injuries happen, never seen a game abondoned for a broken leg. Almost like Olympic had another motive to leave the field.

I would have had that discussion with Newcastle Football in private. I don't think listing it on the forum is good form. To be perfectly honest, take the point and move on. I'm sure the poor guy with the broken leg wouldn't want to hear there is a debate over points.

To be honest, it has exactly nothing to do with the injured player. Ok, if his team mates dont want to continue, fine. If both teams agree, its a draw. If not, its a forfeit according to the rules.

What is the precedent set by allowing a match to be abandoned by one team after the referee has indicated it should be finished? That result only suited one team.
