Ah right I missed that part. Thank you.

Wasn't it a All Age team ? ZL1 is associated with the NPL team so are ineligible.?

Dudley beat a full strength Kahibah 4-0 so I’d suggest they would need to be near full strength. South Cardiff will be in the same boat having to play.

Do they all need to be played this week or something. Tight turn around from round to round

Depends if they care or not, not like Kahibah are going to win the cup but they do have a chance of winning or making finals in the league they may prioritise that. Same with South Cardiff.

Nothing on the fixtures for South Cardiff's game, so maybe they aren't playing this week

Correct. There isn't any NL1 or NPL clubs involved until Round 3 (This Week).

It was New Lambton Juniors (ZL1).

But there wouldn’t be drama if the ZPL Bad Boy William McMaster wasn’t involved. Playing a new position and the same old antics. Rumour has it the Suns have paid the ZPL Bad Boy off with their salary sombrero to not be available for their round 1 clash and McMaster kept his promise.

One card for dissent and one for swearing, after speaking with young William after the match he said he would like to apologise to absolutely nobody and the ZPL Bad Boy does whatever he wants.

Going to be a long year with him striking fear into the opposition with his antics.

A special mention to Swansea’s goalkeeper Patty ‘the Baddy’ Heffernan with an excellent assist, embarrassing the opposition goalkeeper, causing him to sub himself off

Year of the Swan ��

Quality report DC. Swansea looked to be down a few and struggled a bit in the final third. Will played well considering he was out of position - we give him shite but he can play and his speed saved the Swannies a couple of times. The vocal crowd got under his skin at the death there, and true to form….
There’ll be some bumps and bruises after that game.

Kahibah are playing a mid-week fixture next week (apparently), with ZPL Round 1 kicking off this weekend. Unfortunately, the only choice was to then schedule mid-week this week, as Round 3 has to be played by the 26/03.

Supposed to be played by 26th but I’m sure Northern won’t enforce it especially for NL1 clubs.

Toronto vs warners bay Wednesday night

Any other games tonight or this week?

Westlakes vs South Cardiff
Tuesday next week

Have a new coach which is always exciting to start fresh, few really good additions that we’re happy with and been good in pre-season. Had over 100 people trial during Uni o-week so took us a while to cut that down to a squad. Much younger squad to what we’ve had in the past.
Would’ve liked to know we’d be in ZPL a bit earlier to plan accordingly however everyone is very excited for the challenge!

Can we get a cup thread ?

Australia Cup
West Wallsend 2-1 over Swansea

Australia Cup
Kahibah 4-2 Azzurri

Azzurri played very respectably, going down twice and levelling twice. Ran out of legs in the last 15 minutes, especially after Sunday, but never looked out of place.

It was good to turn a few heads leading into Round One.
