I'm sure the club are required to hold the NPL license prior to start of the season to be promoted. Does make a joke of the promotion relegation if Wallsend do come first but don't go up due to this.

A club secretary confirmed to me yesterday that Wallsend cannot be promoted and if they finish first, last place NPL side will stay up. It's a shame they can't go up this season as it'd make things more interesting but still the race between Valo and Lakes will be a good one, especially if one of them can knock off Wallsend. I'm keen to see who wins the Wallsend v Lakes catch-up game in the next few weeks.
Is there a link to the Criteria?
Would be interesting to see where the other clubs stand.
Npl licences are for 3 years, any club could nominate at the time in 2013, some chose not to, others were knocked back, during the 2016 season clubs will be offered new licenses, all clubs can apply, clubs not in the NPL can gain a license if applicable, those who finish first in newfm must hold a license to be promoted
Any club
Nock?
I have heard only Lakes and Valo. Cessnock and Belswans didn't complete the final part of the application is the word I heard.
Ok I'll bite….
"Watched the swans play lakes at lakes same style of football..:"
Well, you've seen them play one game on a "rugby" ground and the other on a mud puddle, but I guess that's all you need to make your judgement! If that is the case, then I've seen the Stags as many times as you've seen BelSwans, so then I'd have to say that the Stags are one of the dirtiest, grubbiest teams in the NEWFM.
"If you honestly think the Swans deserved to win yesterday your football knowledge mustn't be too good… "
No I don't think I said anywhere that BelSwans deserved to win, just enquiring how you believe that the Stags style of play was any different. I think both teams were crap but maybe the ground was an issue???? Remembering BelSwans have won 3 and draw 1 of there last 4 games (all away from home), must be doing something right????
"Overpriced former players trying to run a show"
Could you please clarify and justify this statement!!!! Seems very odd!
Anyhow Captain best of luck with your "relegation " battle. Maybe those grubby off the ball tactics that were employed in the last ten minutes when a certain player went forward will work against a less experienced outfit.
The ground was in a very poor way, both teams played a basic approach just think the swans sat back and scrapped two goals...
The last I thought was a foul on the gk....
The relegation battle will be tough... The stags are going through a rough trot at present but I'm confident the local juniors will battle to get them out
Didn't think anyone was going to be relegated, or is this just a theoretical relegation we're talking here?
Hi All, a review of the Wallsend FC v Cooks Hill game can be viewed on the Wallsend FC website: http://wallsendfc.com.au/event/cooks...v-wallsend-fc/
3-0 after 17, nice volley though. 2nd: keeper 'credited' with Oggie (15th min) but denied he (or any Cooker for that matter) got a touch when I quizzed him at school today on that goal.
(Before anyone starts with a sm@rt @rse comment there, my 6yo daughter goes to the same school)
On that note, I strongly suggest that managers check team sheets for 'errors' after matches. I'm not 100% certain that lower grade team sheets
are completed straight after their respective games though. Seems to be the refs have a proper break before they go out and swap roles for different grades.
The sheets seem to be finalised after FT of 1st grade. Still, exercise your right and check 'em.
Tonight's Results:
17's: Kahibah 4-2 West Wallsend
19's: Kahibah 3-1 West Wallsend
Wasn't there, got messaged results. Decent wins for Kahibah though.
Also that 2nd goal from Wallsend was complete shambles. Didn't look like it got a touch from the Cookers, plus keeper's a good kid who wouldn't lie about it. Credit to Wallsend though, played a good style I reckon, Cookers would have had a better chance if not for a very bad start. Kudos too to the guy who gets the review up every week. Not many teams in New-FM publicise their game stats and goalscorers, etc. Will try and make it to the Gardens to watch Wallsend v Lakes whenever it gets put on, should be an absolute cracker.
"Overpriced former players trying to run a show"
Could you please clarify and justify this statement!!!! Seems very odd!
Who is the captain talking about with this comment?
Yeah I saw the same. OG from a throw in ? Two Wallsend players: one either side of the Cookers goalie. Comical.
What a season so far for Cookers. 2 broken legs, fractured arm, fractured jaw and ruptured acl. All in first grade. Not to mention all the complaining on the forum regarding a pen a game almost and send offs. May as well start a sub forum.
Can anyone confirm whether the Kahibah v Westy game is going ahead tonight?
They usually close Kahibah when a dog pees on the ground so I wouldn't expect this game to proceed.
1st Grade: Kahibah 3-2 Westy. 23's I've heard was a 1-1 draw.
Bel swans 2 singleton 2 in 1st grade
23s bel swan got beat
Just to Clarify, the Wallsend FC match reviews are written by the club and are not meant to be official reviews. We do this to provide coverage of the NewFM league to those who are interested. We aim to be as objective as possible. The goal scoring times are only approximates and in regards to the dubious 2nd goal, after listening to accounts from Wallsend players who all claim to not have touched it, we recorded it in the report as an own goal.
Thanks for your kind words NewyTy, should be a cracking Wallsend Derby this Sunday at 'The Gardens' which is also the club's Old Boys Day.
Shout out from Wallsend FC to newysports.com for their flattering opinion piece. http://www.newysports.com/2015/06/op...ub-on.html?m=1

Integrity of Macquarie referees in under 17 questionable when appointing a referee for a match who has a brother playing
And his dad coaching the side, c'mon. Referee should not have accepted the game either and raised the point the Macquarie...
Perhaps too tempting to resist though as he proceeded to give Two penalties to his family team.
FMD.
Very game having a go at a referees integrity I hope your not a registered person you may find yourself in some trouble. Unless you are a ref yourself I don't believe anyone has a right to have a go at a referees integrity, we need to support them as much as possible especially the younger ones as there is not enough at it is. With many more juniors coming thru we can't stand for people like you that want to offend a referee and possibly have them give up refereeing. They need to be respected and have their integrity unquestioned whether they are related or not. They will make mistakes as will all players and coaches in a game, it sounds like your team should be more worried about discipline in your own box than the referees relations.
While I agree the referee should have said to Macquarie Refs Association about possibility of people taking view he was not impartial due to relations with other team it is up to the referees association to not put these young people in this position. I notice you didn't say whether the penalties were justified. Seems like making excuse for a defeat.
Was at all 4 games on Sunday , Wallsend 17s starting to go backwards in comp , not putting enough passes together , trying to play long balls , missing left winger that was there afew weeks ago, now playing in 23s ,well done on the promotion, also quick right winger missing first half , made a difference when he came on the 2nd half some good combinations with a player that just came on, probably would of got the winning goal if was not called off due to an injury
19s much improved squad with some new players creating some some good combinations, couple of good quick attacking players ,
23s smashed them about time , still require more improvement , westy were not good
1sts are getting better all the time , and still can improve more , good all round squad , could remain in top spot for rest of season , even though they still need to play Lakes and Valo
I agree we need to support referees, I always have and always will.
My rant has nothing to do with not supporting them, I'm questioning the appointment and acceptance.
Would you take the match under those circumstances,I wouldn't, and I don't think I'm wrong thinking most would feel very uncomfortable...too much conflict of interest and leaving yourself open.
By the way...there was no indiscipline in the box, further than that I will not comment because that's not my rant.
See my other response plus..Not making any excuse at all and my post never mentioned the score.
Fully agree, referees association should not put a young ref in this situation, I am assuming they made an error and that this would not normally be allowed to happen,but unfortunately it did.
