So, does the winner of this now qualify for the prestigious NST?

Is there some additional criteria?

Pretty sure they are just in as simple as that..they join 8 storied clubs who have permanent positions now, even if they don't win their NPL competition

Thanks, that was my interpretation also.

One of the articles seemed to list the teams as 8 foundational clubs and 8 invitational. Had a little bit of doubt that it could vary each year.


Does the funding for this come from FA now that they have endorsed it? Eg flights and accomm.

Going to be a long season for one club.
Also curious if NPL clubs here had much of a say on anything.

6 extra games at a minimum, extremely long season for one club. NPL players playing just as many if not more then A League players doesn't make much sense to me.

Since it is only the Premiers that go, surely the large prize money they get from Northern from winning the league can be used towards it.

[Bremsstrahlung]

The $10K?

Worst case you draw Perth NPL winners in your group and have $500 pp flight for 20 players/essentials. There?s your $10K.


Best case you snag 2x Sydney teams and Melbourne (200pp flights = 4k, plus accomm)



Travel was always going to be the issue with a NST. It?s hard to justify the $$$ outlay for the benefit.
Maybe they just haven?t released enough info yet in terms of prize money and any support.


Just seems an added expenditure for clubs who may not have necessarily wanted this. (From memory Valentine, Olympic and Edgy were the only ones that ever expressed interest at varying stages).

Just curious how it is all going to work.

[Taffy]

The $10K?

Is that all it is? I thought with clubs spending close to a quarter of a million dollars on players the prize money would be much higher.

[The Postman]

A NNSW Select team would be good, send the best of the best with Northern footing the bill :tongue:

I like the idea of the select team to represent. Do we have a national titles for state teams? get that going.

[Bremsstrahlung]

I wasn’t sure, but I was going off this article.


From 2024 in the NPL NNSW premiers will receive $10,000 while the grand final winners will receive $4,000.

https://www.northernnswfootball.com.au/news/equal-prize-money-announced-prorel-returns-2024-npl-nnsw-competitions-launched#:~:text=From%202024%20in%20the%20NPL,fina l%20winners%20will%20receive%20%244%2C000.



So, could be $14K I guess.

Unclear if it’ll be the ‘minor’ or ‘major’ premiers.

[Taffy]

Unclear if it’ll be the ‘minor’ or ‘major’ premiers.

The non-foundation clubs playing in the NST will be the Premiers. I.e. The team that finishes top of the table, not the grand final winner.

Went and watched Olympic Vs Sydney Olympic today...nice 4-2 win to the local boys (the 2 included a penalty for handball)

Obviously played in a friendly spirit, and I don't know how many reserve grade players got a run today in either team...

I have to say though, I felt like the real winner with those Souvlaki's from the canteen 😍

[Supersub]

Yeah went and watched the Olympic game. Early days but Olympic looked very sharpe kale and hay make a big difference to the squad can see them being up the pointy end.

Good day out all round decent crowd.

[Taffy]

Fixtures released seems Northern have decided to put the recently promoted and the saved from relegation teams to play Odd that they have it on a Thursday night can only assume Belswans wanted it Thursday night or raised no objections to having it then.

Northern also putting the grand final replay on the Friday night

[Barry Dawson]

Re BelSwans on Thursday night - more likely northern ignored a clubs request - like they did with many other club requests.

[Hunter403]

A lot of scheduling is to do with ref shortages

[matjpacker]

Requests were ignored, clubs received a response that all but said that.

[Taffy]

Does that mean your club is still scheduled to play at home Friday night despite it being used by athletics?

[matjpacker]

In the first release, yep we ended up with games scheduled on the Friday night.

An update has not long gone through, the Friday games have been moved to Saturday night for 16s and 18s, with the 13, 14, and 15 games being played Sunday morning.

Lots of players (8) unavailable from last years first grade squad, was still a good hit out, first grade debuts for a few u18s.

Current set up of NST is just a stopgap until 4 more teams can meet the criteria.

Why do clubs continually organise trial matches that clash with the Jets, there?s 2 NPL trials at 5pm Saturday, I don?t understand it, I find it poor form from clubs, this why the game in newcastle will never go anywhere

It is a joke if allowed to continue

Agree Red, but the Jets do themselves no favours by playing youth trials in Sydney on the same day.

APIA v Belswans was 4-2. Belswans defended well and attacked with pace when they had the opportunity. Keeper had a stormer of a game to keep scoreline respectable.

Belswans first goal was off an error on the edge of the box for a open goal tap in, 2nd goal was a great finish on edge of the box after a set piece.

I?ve been to two of Adamstowns games , one was a 2-1 loss to Maitland in which I thought was a solid performance and the other was a 5-1 win against south coast side Bulli FC , not too sure how that compares to any sort of quality however Bulli had some tidy players but adamstown were very good and deserved to win by more.

Who have they picked up. Hopefully they are more competitive this year

The biggest signing hands down has been Riley Taylor to Lambton Jaffa$ and the fact he scored against the Navy & Gold Ark Arks that sparkle like the sun in a trial is the most consolidating feeling to hit local football in a long time

You need super ground lighting to make TV work. Its why Australia Cup games end up at Edgy. Blacksmiths ain't got what it takes to support good visuals.

No matter how you watched it I thought it was an ordinary game, well done to Belswans but I think we just watched the two relegation favourites even at this early stage

Nothing to do with the lighting. The charity shield at Edgeworth last week was also out of focus for much of the game. Vision is along behind Bartv standard atm. Early stages so hopefully they can get tonight's game at Edgeworth in focus

[Eastwest]

The lights might have something to do with it as well. Even Bartv struggles at night games.

I think its great that we have our leagues on fta. Id watch ZPL on the screen if I cant get to the grounds.

You seem to be missing the point. The original post was questioning the kickoff time. If it happens to be mid thirties in the morning it makes sense to delay the kickoff time from afternoon till later in the evening.

[Addios]

Do to early comp starting we can reliably suggest that playing games between 11am and 4pm in late summer the temp will often reach unplayable conditons thru March.
As a solution....
Is it possible to play 13s 14s in morning and 15s 16s late arvo early evening Sat or Sun? obviously have to be played around senior fixtures. If clubs are using volunteers from teams to operate then doable.
Could use fri nights like in pre season comp as well through to March which is before community teams & o35s kickoff.
I have approached fixtures and they said they dont need help. so can t do much more there.

Oh and the sythetic pitches in Newcastle to help with rain....

Don?t think many would have picked Adamstown to win today. They have been more competitive this year. Might not be so cut and dry the bottom 2

[Trigger]

Jaffas have no chance. As their colours show they are custard. No Kale to save them.

No Topper for today so they were very unsettled at the back. Back not scoring is atrocious. Some weren't up for it & they know it. Others only got serious in the final 30.

Who's the TD there now? What cluster fk he is. They'ed all be near unconscious if I trained them on Monday. Bit of credit to the Buds, they came to play.

I thought Adamstown were relatively good yesterday, could?ve scored 3-4 and were reasonably disciplined in defence. However Jaffas offered little to nothing and were very disappointing . Long season for them ahead if they don?t start turning up

[ForeverRed]

NORTHERN NSW Football (NNSWF) is investigating an incident in an NPL men?s match in which it is alleged that a spectator spiked an opposition goalkeeper?s water bottle with alcohol.
Edgeworth lodged a report with NNSWF after their 1-1 draw with Belmont-Swansea in first grade at Blacksmiths Oval on Saturday night, February 22.
Among a list of complaints, it is alleged that a crowd member entered the field of play during the first half, took the water bottle of Edgeworth keeper Ben Conway from behind the goal. It was laced with alcohol and grass and then put back in its original place.

Conway informed Edgeworth coaching staff at half-time that his water bottle had been tampered with.
A minor is believed to be involved in the incident.
Conway was also allegedly the subject of abuse from a separate spectator, who appeared to be intoxicated, as the keeper left the field at half-time. The abuse continued while the teams were in the dressing rooms.
NNSW confirmed they were investigating the allegations.
?Northern NSW Football have received a report of an incident from the round two NPL men?s NNSW first grade match between Belmont Swansea United and Edgeworth Eagles at Blacksmiths Oval which involved spectators and a player?s equipment,? a NNSWF spokesperson said.
?The matter is under investigation and no formal sanctions will be confirmed until the investigation is finalised.?
The investigation is expected to take a few weeks.
Belswans president Cameron Tapp said the club was working with NNSW regarding the incident.
?Nothing has been finalises as yet,? Tapp said. ?It is an on-going disciplinary matter. Until it is finalised, there is really nothing to say other than we are working with Northern NSW on the matter.?
Belswans are in their first season back in the NPL since 1999 after being runaway premiers of League One in 2024.
They currently sit in seventh spot on five points after four rounds.

Herald reported water bottle tampering at the Belmont Swansea v Edgeworth game played a couple of weeks ago, allegedly the Edgeworth goalkeepers water bottle that was in the back of the net was filled with alcohol and grass clippings by a Bel Swan supporter. Anyone know anything more about this ???

This used to happen at Raymond Terrace back in the day, except it was our own teammates who would stitch us up with a couple of bottles full of beer :lol:

What is going on at Maitland? Got belted 5-1 by Weston in el classicoal tonight and the Bears could have hit double figures if they really fancied it. This was after Maitland went into halftime leading 1-0 as well.

A few years ago the Pies were one of the stand out teams in the comp now they look like they might end up in a relegation fight.

And lack of balls to tell the truth. I have seen players who train with a team, become an asset, and are part of coach's plan, next minute they say they can't play due to other non-football commitments.
In fact, they leave and sign with another club.

They were kids under 18 and put some grass and dirt in his water bottle as a joke. Not the worst offence ever. There was no proof of alcohol and I hear the kids owned up to pulling the prank and what they put in and denied it was alcohol.
Eagles a little salty they dropped points

Now I've been able to read the article, seems this isn't quite true, one kid involved, 2 adults involved, ban of selling alcohol. No doubt the kid who is a player and serves a 30 day ban from all football was egged on by these adults who supplied the beer.

Watched Adamstown verse cooks hill tonight in what I think will be the only game all weekend. Adamstown very impressive and very comfortable , things aren?t looking too bad over that way. For cooks hill however , woeful performance and some of the worst football I?ve seen from them for quite some time, Nancarrow leaving seems to have really ruffled things up.

Edgeworth are the clear bench mark this season. Defensively sound, potent in attack.

Magic used a get out of jail free card today. Wondering if there was any brown paper bags exchanged between them and the referee.

Olympic have been highly underwhelming considering their recruitment drive. Btw where is O?Donovan?

[NUGUNS]

Watching from Youtube, Edgy came out firing quickly in that second half and looked like they were scoring with every attack. Quality finishes and a well worked set piece routine sealed the game by the 50th.

Valo new coach. Things just got much worse. Mark my words.

[ForeverRed]

Valo new coach. Things just got much worse. Mark my words.
Cas Wright could be the first woman to coach in NPL Men Northern NSW after taking on the first-grade role at Valentine this week.
Wright is the club?s technical director and was assistant coach of premier football before replacing Kallan Garbett this week.
Valentine Football Club said in a press release Garbett had vacated the head coaching position due to work commitments and Wright had been appointed in the position on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.

?Valentine FC would like to thank Kal for his dedicated service to the club over many years,? the release said.
?His passion for the Phoenix and dedication to our cause will be sorely missed.?
Wright has extensive coaching experience and qualifications and is the only female first-grade coach in the NPL men?s competition, and to Northern NSW Football?s knowledge is the first.
?The club?s position is we?re not looking for a male or female coach, we?re looking for the best coach and were lucky enough to have Cas, who has an A licence,? Valentine Football Club secretary Rob Lavell told the Newcastle Herald.
?She?s one of the most qualified coaches in the region and we?ve got her to fill the void.
?If it is a fact that she is the first female coach, unreal, and Valentine has a very strong appetite to promote and grow women?s football.
?We?ve just added JDL [junior development league] teams to the mix in 2025, and in the future we?re hoping to further build out our representation of women?s football in the premier competitions, but no current plans.?
Wright, who previously coached in Northern NSW Football?s top-flight women?s competition at Valentine and South Wallsend, is looking forward to the challenge.
?It will definitely be a challenge and there will be more scrutiny on me than there would be on anyone else, and that?s unfortunate,? Wright said.
?Whether it?s a male or female coach, it should be just a coach. That?s just part of the territory. Without resilience, you can?t progress.?
Phoenix are coming off a 7-1 loss to second-placed Edgeworth last Sunday and face another big test on Saturday against Charlestown, who are in a three-way tussle for third spot, at Croudace Bay (4.30pm).
?The group trained really well this week with the news of Kal, we were all shocked by that,? Wright said.
?Every week?s a challenge in NPL. For me, it?s just about doing what I know. It?s quite a new group, so it?s just about getting the group together and understanding what roles they play within that team and how we can best utilise them.
?[Azzurri] will be a test. The key focus is just maintaining our style of football, understanding what their threats are and making sure we don?t concede. Our focus will be on a clean sheet and trying to pinch a goal from them.?
Also on Saturday, Lambton host Olympic (2pm) and Belmont Swansea are home to Weston (4.30pm). On Sunday, New Lambton play Cooks Hill at Alder Park (2pm) and Edgeworth travel to Maitland (4.30pm). Broadmeadow were playing Adamstown on Friday night.
In NPL Women, New Lambton host Olympic on Saturday (4pm) and Maitland meet Azzurri at Cooks Lisle Carr Oval on Sunday (4pm). Lake Macquarie were battling Adamstown on Friday night.

New Lambton Cookers had a send off. Obvious foul on edge of box slightly from behind with another defender coming across.

Ref gave red on DOGSO regardless of that defender still being able to make another tackle as the foul did stop the shot on goal. kind of ruined the contest but rules are rules.

So it did end up being for the foul then? Couldn't see from the other end if it was a last man and took a while to give so thought it might have been someone mouthing off.

Can?t see Hughesy going anywhere anytime soon. Whilst it?s obviously been a very disappointing start to the season for the first grade men, he was bought in to run the whole football department men, women, youth and JDL.
He is doing plenty of work behind the scenes to keep everyone happy and it won?t be too long before things start heading in the right direction for the first grade men.

That's good to see your club has big plans and is patient for the new coach to implement his style. All I said was he must be under a bit of pressure for poor results. Unfortunately, this game mostly is measured by results whether you are Adam Hughes or Ang Postecoglou.

NL Eagles relegated, Valo to fight for elimination

[RightFoot]

New Lambton are done for, and a season or two to rebuild in NL1 isn't the end of the world... unless Valentine's internal issues spiral and NL can claim a pro/rel playoff spot but that's a STRETCH

At the end of the day consistency wins out hence why Belswans should survive comfortably. They are arguably the most consistent team this season punching well above their weight.

My tip for the playoff is Valo. Maitland will kick into gear soon, it's a question of when, not if. Adamstown will end their purple patch soon, but have started strong enough for relegation not to be a threat this season.

[prawnhead]

To be fair though, what has the bloke achieved? Coached a bit of Jets academy then nearly went to China on a pro coaching contract, but Covid hit apparently. I could be wrong though.

Then a few years at Valo on good coin overseeing youth to 1st grade. Well the youth sort of did ok I think 🤷*♂️.

Just watching on YouTube now. I hope Maitland have a better plan than Valo.
