Sometimes the best mentors to youth are those who have experienced problems but have turned the corner. Could be a good thing provided he has turned the corner.Quote:

Wouldn't the Former UNDISPUTED King St Fighting Champion of the world be the man??
Hasn't played all season with his knee and after his jaw injury surely a season in the State League will be the go for him???
South cardiff v belswans

Lakes won 3-1 against Maitland tonight. Seen all but the first 15 minutes and it was a solid hit out for both teams.
Heard through one of lakes boys that it was very even matche and they were lucky that maitland were abit rusty with their finishing otherwise result could have been very different.
my source was spot on. or as an ex mariners player would say, sauce, get itQuote:

Cruised by Athletics Fld last night on my way to work. Checked in for 5min and was informed Cooks Hill and Edgeworth were playing. Dont know any results though and the weather was turning foul.

All this talk of No 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's... theres still only one number 1
Not a big fan of this decision, but the 7 clubs who didn't oppose it must think its ok so good luck to Stu.Quote:

LAMBTON Jaffas have shrugged off the disappointment of losing former Jets youth goalkeeper James Fogarty to pick up former Australian under-20 gloveman Danny Ireland for their maiden Northern NSW State League season.
See your ad hereThe 22-year-old has returned to Newcastle after five seasons in the United Kingdom with Coventry City.
Although he made only one appearance for Coventry, in a 3-1 League Cup win over Aldershot in August 2008, he had loan stints with Nuneaton Town, Halesowen Town and Forest Green Rovers.
His lone appearance for the Young Socceroos came in 2008.
Ireland returned to the Hunter to concentrate on his university studies and turned out for the Jaffas in a rain-shortened 4-1 win over Kincumber at Edden Oval on Thursday.
The addition of Ireland more than makes up for the loss of Fogarty, who left the Jets and was to join the Jaffas but has decided to concentrate on his career as a personal trainer.
Lambton coach David Tanchevski said the 193-centimetre Ireland was a valuable addition to his squad.
"He gives us a proven keeper, someone who's played at Australian level and played for someone like Coventry City in England," Tanchevski said.
"He's a big boy, six foot four in height, and he talks a lot as well, so he'll gives us plenty of experience at the back, which is what you need."
He said Ireland, incumbent Shannon Szmynec and teenager Drew Olsen would give the newcomers depth in the keeping department.
"We've decided to run with three senior keepers this year. That's the first time we've done that."
"There's good competition for spots in first grade now.
"Shannon Szmynec has been our keeper for the last two years and he's a great keeper as well.

Ireland joins three-time leading state league goal-scorer John Majurovski and former Jets youth midfielder Abe Wheelhouse as new faces in the Jaffas side.
The Jaffas start their top-flight campaign at home against two-time defending major premiers Broadmeadow Magic on April 6.
