2021 is here, zone league preliminary draws are out.
A few old clubs back in zone league plus one new club.

Also a couple of clubs missing from draw, although some may enter after preliminary draw. What has happened to Jesmond?
Also Lochinvar entered last year and competed extremely well in combined zone league 2 and 3, but weren't listed?

I think Hunter Simba went early last year, appears they mighten get back up?

As for the new clubs, Morisset and Musselbrook are back. You would assume Morisset will be strong, big growth area and former powerhouse of zpl. Interesting to see both them and Charlestown are playing Sundays and west Wallsend are playing Friday nights.

Would have been ideal for only one or two clubs playing Sundays. I'd say Charlestown are done for scheduling reasons as they only have one field.

Also one new club, South Maitland playing out of Gilleston heights. Possibly former players from Lochinvar, Maitland seniors or Maitland juniors have moved there?

Bring on season 2021

Committee fallout I believe. Over half wanted football development with ZL used to retain good young players and the other only wanted to focus on quantity of players and women's football. Something like that.

Still unsure totally of numbers, Probably won't know more until Wednesday 20th when training starts. But I have a feeling we will be chasing 10-14 players.

Mate it’s very sad, my time at the Terrace was great we had massive turn over of players last year with a change of coach and last year was going to be the start of a rebuild. But unfortunately the year was called off for Terrace, and both myself and the first grade coach were offered opportunities to coach else where for this year that we couldn’t turn down which left the club starting from scratch. unfortunately it’s not always easy to attract players out that way for a rebuild. No doubt they will be back in the future tho.

There was an EOI out for a coach late last year I believe but had no response. Tried to get one internally after that but with no luck.

Good result for you in the end and your team should go well in your comp.
The first game made up of primarily 3rd graders and trialists was 5-1 to CCFC.
2nd game won 3-2 by you, was a side made up of some 3rds, mostly new reggies players and a couple of 1st players from last years squad and yes in the end we had our pants pulled down by a side who basically wanted it more than us.

So once again good result and good luck in 2021...

Feel sorry for the Morisset boys.
They asked us late Friday if we could change to our field because theirs was still water logged.
Then had to travel to Mussy with a small amount of players playing both grades.

Some piss poor refereeing handed down to both sides saw the most amount of cards I've ever seen in a game, including two for players "entering the pitch without permission" when the sideline ref had already taken sub numbers and told them to go on at that stoppage.

Lakes launched an attack with a through ball into the Charlestown box, The keeper came flying out to collect and a lakes forward ran flatout at him not looking to pull out.. as the keeper collected the ball he went through the attacker and abloutley flattened him... ( no mallace) just a big colloisin the keeper realising the lakes guy was in serious troble kicked the ball to the side line and went to tend to the injured player... the ref never stopped the game and the lakes guys continued on and scored while the Carlestown keeper was attendint to Their Injured player...! an absolute disgrace poor form and lack of sportsmanship from Lakes..!!! I noticed the Keeper never shook any lakes peoples hand after the game and can't say I blame him..! a win first up for Lakes but poor form..!

Look bud. When that incident occurred, the Charlestown team went on a counter attack when the Lakes players were screaming at the ref to stop the play. Luckily the Lakes defenders prevented Charlestown from scoring and then they went on the attack and scored. So in my books, that's a bit of karma for Charlestown not kicking it out

So "Just A Spectator" Clearly a one eyed Charlestown supporter.. I just happened to be down at the end that the incident happened. Youu forgot to mention that the Charlestown Keeper punted the ball ball down field for a Charlestown counter. When that fizzled out Lake returned fire. The fact that your keeper actually raised his knee and elbow into the lakes players without cause seems to have slipped your memory.. Maybe the old fart was feeling guilty.. In any case he needs to pay attention to the actual game... He stated that none of the lakes guys cared about the welfare of their own player... "yes I heard that" I'd suggest that Charlestown read the rule book... Physio's etc cannot enter the field until signalled by the ref. The ref didn't stop play so game on... Whinge all you like.. That goal made it 4-2, so not even the winner.

No Not a Charlestown supporter as such I just know a couple of them ... the keeper kicked the ball towards the sideline... I was watching the incident from there so didn't realise the game went on, my bad thanks for clearing that up then...
Are you serious though... a striker running flatout directly at the keeper with no intention to slow down or deviate with less than a 50?50 chance of getting the ball ... do you expect the keeper any keeper to not protect themself...? he was the second guy to run into him in that half maybe the young buck got what he deserved then if you want to go on.... I don't know about guilt but if someone is croaking they can't breathe any person with an ounce of human decency would try to help them, which the keeper did... and he was right to comment that the lakes guys had no concern for their injured player they didn't but I guarantee if an incident like that happens again he probably will let the dude lay there on his own... I'm not whinging at all Charlestown deseved to lose 3 major mistakes in their back line leaving the keeper exposed , they got what they deserved...! 4th goal still poor from.. Really I don't blame him especiallly after your comment earlier that instead of tending the lakes player he should have been watching the game ... what if the kid swallowed his tongue or worse you're a clown he did the right thing to make sure the kid was ok 4th goal was basically last kick of the game

ZONE LEAGUE ALL STAR
14-04-2021, 02:22 PM
Charlestown player here,

Id say a fair summary of the match would be Charlestown probably got the better of a fairly evenly contested first half with Lakes missing a couple of easy chances. Lakes began to take over through the midfield midway through the 2nd half where their younger legs started to show and in the end was the difference and the score line pretty well reflects the game.

As for the goal keeper incident, the only person to blame is the referee. keeper is 10 yards to the side tending to a downed opposition player, blow the whistle...

Cabaye#4
15-04-2021, 11:12 PM
Firstly, you can't swallow your tongue, thanks for attending my Ted talk.

And from what I saw, Charlestown had the better of the encounter but really missed their first choice keeper since they basically defended well but made the mistake of conceding 4 shots in the second half.
Well, 3, the last one was a farce. Imagine dogging your teammate because the other team didn't kick it out. Who needs enemies with friends like that.

Both teams have areas to improve, but if Charlie can stop leaking goals, they'll be close to top. Lakes are young and enthusiastic but that only gets you so far.

Interesting, good turnaround for teams that played them. You would think ineligible player, but it's just speculation. For mine there is a big difference between a mistake and intentionally breaking the rules. The association has had a firm ruling on ineligible players for a few years now and everyone knows the rules or has access to them for grey areas.

But like I said, it's just speculation

Full credit to Muswellbrook getting the points in both grades.
First grade was a tight game with Muswellbrook converting a penalty with 3 minutes to go to secure the points.

Reserves was full of goals , Cardiff lead 2-0 then 3-2 to get swamped by Muswellbrook.

On a sour note I hope the young lad up front for the Muswellbrook learns from his mistake for their second goal in reserve grade. I understand the theory of playing the whistle, But that was extremely poor form and I'm surprised it appeared to be applauded by fellow teammates.

That's an awesome effort from Muswellbrook, missing players for work, injury? Certainly going to be tough with an upcoming midweek round.

I guess the question needs to be asked, why was the same clubs doing 6 games back to back? Surely there are more guys within the club that could have helped out?

Cardiff got into the groove of the game and dominated the second half. Medowie got the winner from a counter attack with 5 minutes to go. Dissapointing not to get 3 points let alone 1 so to come up with none is a kick in the guts.

2-1 Cardiff
Big turnaround from the weekends poor display. Having some numbers back really helped.

I saw this game couldn't miss it after the first round clash these teams had...!
it was an interesting game Charelstown totally controlled the forst 30 minutes and should have been up 3 or 4 nil at that stage... Lakes keeper was in the right spot a few times for rushed shots and made good saves, calmer strikers would have scored by placing the ball but hey..! credit to the young lad for staying big and making some good saves... Lakes scored 2 goals in quick succession courtesey of 2 raging mistakes by the Charlestown back line they stitched their keeper up and couldn't follow simple instructions from him... they were disoriented and caught out of position and Lakes took their chances well. late in the half Lakes had a young fella sent off for decent and went down to 10 men. You would have thought that after half time and only being down by 2 that Charlestown would have come out guns blazing but instead came out looking like a beaten side they had the extra man but you wouldn't have thought so... Lakes rallied and Charlestown panicked they were at best reactive and in no way pro active they needed to move the ball around and stretch the 10 men of Lakes around the park but instead took too long on the ball never moved into space for each other, they dove into tacklesand went into other tackles half hearted and looked like a beaten side from the half time kick off , they had a right wing who has No idea how to play right wing he spent all day chaing the ball inside to shase it back out to the wing and whenever he actually got the ball he eithe passed the ballto the opposition or was just pushed off the ball , infact most of the charelstown side were easily pushed off the ball and were very weak in tackles. this was supposed to be a top ofthe table clash but it was a wimper at the end with Charelestown hardly even haveing a shot in the second half and couldn't find the net against 10 men.. don't know how they are at the top of the table with that kind of effort they don't deserve to be there so would be interesting to watch the table over the next few weeks... if Charelsown think they can make semis they have some serious work to do... Lakes were lucky to get 2 gifts other wise I don't think they would have scored but they took their chances well and held on they will be there at the business end not sure about Charlestown..

TL/DR
Sounds like the team with the better keeper won. Maybe if the Charlie keeper could organise his defence they wouldn't concede easy goals all the time instead of him crab-walking around the field pretending to carry the shopping inside.

Geez, for a bloke who just attends as a 'spectator', you seem pretty victimised by the Hammers performance. And you know the ins and outs so well all from the sideline, how odd.
Maybe next time you're 'spectating' you should try to do something about it instead of coming online and bitching about blokes like a coward.

Ah wouldn't say that ... Lakes keeper did ok the saves he made were hit straight at him... credit to him though he kept a clean sheeet
Charlies keeper is a good keeper I wouldn't say he crabs around... he was the busier keeper and made some good saves mainly clean ups but needed to be done..as for the goals.. were you even at the game the Charelstown keeper was organising his defense all day he never shut up... he got stiched for 2 goals and a good example is the second goal his back was under pressure and he called for the ball and the back passed the ball basically to the lakes striker... it's not the keepers fult is a bloke can;t make a simple 10 yard pass...!

Charlestown are closer to the top then the bottom. I still see them as being a big threat around finals time.
After 7 games, Lakes already look the goods for promotion. They will drop some points along the way, Interesting to see who can grab some points off them first.

We were always going to start slow with the squad basically fully getting put together only a few weeks before the competition started. With numbers now , I think we can win a few more games before seasons end.

The move to Cardiff City FC was a good one, a club on the rise, strong ZPL outfit and a really good committee backing the teams.

The interesting thing for me is going to a club that already has a zone team and puts a cap on what you can achieve interms of climbing up the divisions. Obviously In The short term not a main focus but long term you can only climb to ZL2. ( unless the rule on clubs having two teams playing in the same division has changed)

Obviously In The short term not a main focus but long term you can only climb to ZL2. ( unless the rule on clubs having two teams playing in the same division has changed)

I guess everybody is entitled to their opinion but I will add some key points.

*At our previous club we competed in zone league 3 for 6 straight years. We made the finals twice but didn't get close to promotion. It's extremely difficult to get promotion especially with the likes of Hamilton Azzurri, Argenton and Minmi all coming through the division in previous years.

* Importantly for us we needed to play somewhere where we could attract players. Cardiff City FC is a club that is much better qualified to catering for zone league football. The committee is very proactive and committed.

* This year we have 37 players on our books, so the move has only helped attracting players. Previously we have lost too many players to other zone league clubs, There is 8 former players at a zone league 1 club alone. This setup will allow players that want to push on the opportunity to do so without leaving the club.

* We train with the ZPL squad, that's great experience for our guys. This combined numbers at training allow coaches the opportunity to have proper training sessions that we could previously never do.

In all it was a No-brainer for us to move to Cardiff City FC. In saying that around 14 players or coaches made the move, so a much bigger percentage of the squad has come from elsewhere including Cardiff City FC itself.

Fair bit of rain during the start of last week, and then max temps of 6 degrees until late in the week wasn't really conducive for drying anything out.
Council closed all the grounds through-out the Shire early on Thursday so that made out decision easier.
We actually hate the mid-week games as much as anyone else and try to avoid them as much as possible.

5 - 1 Lakes

First Grade only. A bunch of Muswellbrook guys got emergency call outs at 8.30am all round the Upper Hunter, left us with 14.
Strong showing from both teams. Relatively even until Lakes packed on 3 goals in quick succession and then it went away from there.

Mind you, Lakes acting like they won the Euros on Insta but forgetting that every club in the comp has taken it to them this year when we get to field a full strength squad.

Also, that field should have been a washout. If they decided that the juniors and All Age couldn't play on Friday but kept field 1 open just for Zone then it shows how much the club cares about their junior programs.

Lakes are the most dangerous team at creating goals from nowhere. They always have goals in them.

Just our luck we got you midweek with so many numbers compared to us, then you struggle on Saturday.

Cardiff v Medowie
Firsts 2-2, Medowie up 2-0 at half time. Cardiff came back well to earn a well deserved draw.

Reserves 4-1 Medowie.
Medowie way too good, Cardiff dissapointing.

The reserve grade competition has improved alot. Early days I would have thought Charlestown would have been certainties. But Kurri, Muswellbrook and Medowie have all been super impressive lately and that's not mentioning Lakes who I think are running first.

Well, the rot has started unfortunately.
18 players unavailable for the weekend through injury, work commitments and COVID excuses.

Kurri v Muswellbrook Reserve Grade is a forfeit :sigh:

Muswellbrook v Cardiff City
Firsts 4-0 Muswellbrook
Reserves 9-2 Muswellbrook

Firsts was a contest for 70 minutes, with the score 1-0 up until that point. Cardiff had a couple of chances at 1-0 and 2-0 to make a close finish. But Muswellbrook put their foot down for a comfortable win in the end.

Reserves , Muswellbrook way too good.

Muswellbrook the dark horse for mine come finals time in both grades provided they make them.

Zone league 3 has been really strong this year especially at the top end of the table.

I thought I would give this a bump because it had moved back to page 3 for some reason.

Surprised that a team has made a decision to start training so early given we are just off hitting a peak in a global health pandemic. A little bit irresponsible I believe

It's all outside, there's been no mandate. People can make their own decision if they want to go or not

Putting it off wont make a big difference with outside stuff. Just keep the 1.5 where possible. When you get C19 have a rest.

Biggest worry during comp will be having multiple players out for a week here and there. oh and the underlying issues and staying alive.

I think the objective is not to get Covid , The problem is that this virus spreads easy. I'd hate to be the player that brings it home to a household and isolates a full house for 7 days.

Why not just wait to at least mid February, by all reports the next 2-3 weeks could be be the worst. Just because the government haven't mandated something doesn't mean you can't use some simple common sense.
