Not sure which side of the fence you are on, but I will say that anyone that I wouldn't compare this years Westlakes team to last. They have brought in a new Gaffa and several quality signings and I'm sure they would be well in the mix pushing for promotion. Could be one of the matches of the round this one.Quote:

We do have an excellent new Head coach ( ressies new coach is excellent as well) and our first grade is streets ahead of where it was last season through signings and experienced coaching. However Raymond Terrace comprehensively won ZL2 last year so that's why I am keen to watch our boys tomorrow in what will be a cracking match.Quote:

These games I eagerly want to see;Quote:

Beresfield Seniors, if similar last season, should be able to hold against all NewFM clubs like Toronto
What players have lakes signed ranger ? And what players have Cardiff lost ?Quote:

Suburbs to win comfortably, have signed well and will be a force all 3 grades this season, be aware of the kingfishers
Cardiffs got a new keeper pretty ordinary seen him play a few times and a few other new signings they should go well in zpl and lakes I don't know much about I know they signed a few new players not sure on losses but after watching them play Wallsend last year and win 9-4 I just think they should be able to control the game and put a couple on CardiffQuote:

Yes Cardiff lost a couple of very experienced players but also picked up some good young players.
We will take this game as an opportunity to test ourselves against a team which are highly rated so good luck to both.
Good oddsQuote:

Like predicted, 2 upsets to start the weekend. Kortara over GS and Azzuri over Barnsley.
Azzuri controlled the game early and scored. Barnsley then took control of the game and really looked like they were going to do it reasonably easy until one of their players got sent off for swearing around 20 minutes (the guy should be embarrassed, the kind of thing that doesn't belong in football) and then the game evened right up. Barnsley had good periods a man down but Azzuri really controlled most of it. They hit the post a few times and eventually got the goals to get them home.
If I were Azzuri I'd take a lot of confidence out of it, struggled a bit up front though. If I were Barnsley I wouldn't be too down about the loss. They looked really good for the 15 minutes or so before they went a man down.
Great start to the weekend! Bring on more football!
They never looked comfortable.Quote:

From there Suburb got into the game and pressed for the second after a really decent passage of Football. 2-0 up and Suburb were looking comfortable before Kotara scored against the run of play but none the less still a deserved goal 5 minutes before H/T.
Second half started much like the first and Kotara soon equalized, it kick Suburb into gear and it didn't take long before Suburb lead again. At 3-2 up Suburb were looking dangerous and it seemed like just a matter of time before Suburb will score agian. However a defensive error lead to a rash tackle from the Suburb CB who deservedly received his second yellow around the 60-65th minute mark. Kotara didn't take long to capitalize and soon equalized to make it 3-3, not long after that Kotara then scored from a Corner to take the lead. The game open up towards the end with Suburb pushing for an equalizer, it never came and Kotara seen off the pressure to win the game.
Disappointed with the result but take no credit away from Kotara they played well and all the best to you boys next weekend.
More Results: Simba were dominant and beat Williamtown 8-1 and Wallsend were pretty decent in a 6-0 win over Maryland-Fletcher.
Fixed: Twatter said 9Quote:

Just realised when Northern handed me team sheets. I was over the other field and missed the goalQuote:

Terrace 4 - 1 Westlakes
Cessnock 1 - 1 Southy. Southy through on penalties.
Mbk 2, Dudley United 1. Not a bad hitout for a first run, really should have won but well done to MBK. Good luck to them v edgie next week. Was there really any winner today? Why are NPL teams in so early?
Why the fark did terrace fluff around in L2 so long?
Basically due to numbers and having to earn our way back up, at the end of the 2013 season we finished 4th in league 1, the coach at the time was told players were not returning for 2014 season so decision was made to apply for league 2.Quote:

Start of 2015 we had plenty of numbers back and had a great season taking out the minor and major earning promotion back to league one this season.
So far numbers looking ok, have picked up some handy players from close by and looking forward to mixing it with the league 1 teams again this year
3pm game for us was bloody hot, was surprised no drink breaks throughout the game, could have done with a few other than half time ��Quote:

The Magic Park kickoff times are 3pm, 5pm and 7pm. Jaffas times are 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Can't remember the others. Good to see the games get spread round but would have prefered some games on both days.
Good to see magic getting to host games, nothing like sharing it around
