Most ZPL clubs don’t have the luxury of getting on Speers Point for training every other night, and have missed out on valuable playing time with washed out trials. I think a few years back when Cardiff ZPL knocked out Lake Macquarie NPL (correct me if I’m wrong?), Cardiff had a full pre-season and a couple of regular season fixtures under the belt for match fitness. Even last year I think Dudley ZPL acquitted themselves fairly well against Weston in the Cup, however they also had a decent pre-season and some league fixtures under the belt. I’d imagine all ZPL clubs will struggle against NPL teams this year, under the circumstances.
a boring response - as expected from ZPL playersQuote:

just saying there is good players in all comps, all age, o/35's etc, however not enough to make any comps of quality, npl this year is probably the worst it has been for years
yes it's a boring argument
Not a ZPL player mate, and you just sound deranged in your response. Keep up the good work champion.Quote:

Sure, responding to a reasonable post and countering by bringing up shipping delays and the war in Ukraine isn’t deranged at all…Quote:

Hey all, how about we concentrate on the games played instead of who's better than who and the never ending debate, any team on there day has the potential to beat any other team, which has been proven before and will be proven again.
No excuses from CCFC, Olympic were to sharp, to quick, to clinical, yes it was not the score we would have liked but hey, we had some fun, sort of.......:wink::wink:
Any result from Cessnock v Westlakes in Cup? Bottom of NL1 in recent years and apparently a team full kids v new comers in ZPL. It might add weight to NL1 v ZPL argument or just confuse it.
I don’t know if I’m just noticing it more or the cock measuring is truly at an all time high on every thread this year. It’s starting to rival Twitter
You’re a goose mateQuote:

We still had a lot of chances that we didn’t take so we were disappointed the gap was so big in the end.
As for the NL1 vs ZPL debate obviously we have only played Kotara on the weekend and they were pretty much the same as Cessnock maybe not as quick in transition. But we versed Suns in preseason and they were streets ahead of what Cessnock showed last night.
Good to know. It adds weight to the argument aside from NL and Belswans that NL1 is in a world of pain. Even more reason to make some tough decisions.Quote:

Just drove past Mayfield Park. No goal posts up and hard to see any lines marked. Is that game still going ahead?
Mayfield v Rosebuds Off. I watched Belswans v Cooks Hill. Belswans scored early and looked likely, but as the game hit 60 mins the fitness showed and Belswans were gone. 5-1 more like 3-1 as a true reflection. Cooks Hill seem like a team who don't know each other. Not a lot of celebration, not a lot of talk. NPL v NL1, close early but better quality and better conditioning prevailed. Par for the course. Belswans will challenge New Lambton in their comp. Cooks likely to be around the bottom 3.Quote:

Magic of The Cup. 1st v 5th Div. Surely a pre series involving the ZL and AA teams would be sensible before bringing in NPL teams. How hard is this to manage?Quote:

Jaffas 6-0 South Cardiff
South Cardiff were overrun and out enthused in the first half but credit where credit is due their effort levels were much higher in the second half and they put up a good fight, they had several good chances to score. The Southy goalie made some absolutely fantastic saves.
Valentine vs Hamilton Azzurri off tonight.
Draw for the next round tomorrow night at 6:30pm, event page now up on the NNSW's Facebook.
