I think assuming, that Blake would prefer to be nobodies bitch.Quote:

The ground is owned by Greyhound Association will get sold off if the greyhounds do get banned as its still in the redQuote:

Like wise for the Stags, 6 different players in their starting 11 yesterday.
It's funny what young hungry players can do when they are playing for nothing other than passion for their home town team. Too many years have gone by at Awaba with too many players coming through at the end of their careers chasing big dollars and not getting results.
Now for one reason or another, either the kids out performing older players or forced changes because of injuries/suspensions, the perfomances are getting better. Not saying we will win out the rest of the season, we could easily get touched up by Thornton again, but the future is bright for the young Stags. (Average age yesterday - 19)
Saying all that, Cookers GK should have saved that FK that just went over his head, and his positioning for the 2nd goal left a lot to be desired.
Was at this game as westy vs belswans got called offQuote:

Both coaches carried on a bit, Toronto need to learn to show respect when they win also, carried on, to which I later found out both coaches from cooks hill use to be at the stags.
this was the real disappointment for those of us there for the old boys dayQuote:

was good to see some of the old faces anyway - at least the ones who aren't still involved with the club that see week in week out - not that we've got that many actually old aged former players given we only formed 19 years ago
Big Sam you must be kidding, show more respect, goes both waysQuote:

As a team manager I appreciated Toronto staff cleaning up their changeroom area and players respecting the top notch facility; and not kicking dunny doors off and smashing garbage bins. I make sure I leave our opposition changerooms clean and tidy and appreciate the same respect in return. Im just jealous to see the Staggs celebrating a great win. Good on youse.
Thornton up 3-0 at halftime. Southy won all 3 lower grades
Good to see the Stags doing well.Quote:

I wish them well.
Kahibah v Cessnock City results:
17's: Kahibah 4-3 (A good match for the neutral. Kahibah should have done a lot better. Cessnock's striker in this grade played three games and then on bench for firsts. A quality young player.)
19's: Kahibah 3-0 (A much-needed win for the side. Hat-trick for a defender turned winger for the day and he should have had five or six. Two cracking shots as well could have gone in. Convincing)
23's: Kahibah 2-1 (Hard-fought between two sides trying to stay in finals race. Eleven unbeaten now for Kahibah.)
1st Grade: Kahibah 2-1 (Cessnock led in the 2nd minute with a header after a soft foul was awarded. Kahibah came out trumps but they didn't take the easy route. The 'Nock definitely had their chances and Kahibah again had to win ugly IMO.)
On a role atm out that side of the lake, who have the stags got for the rest of the season?Quote:

two in a row, should carry it on and beat westy, Kahibah will be tough, and singo the will win?
they had there old boys day yet? generally a few turn up for that
31/7 v Singo, should be a big one,
anyone watch the wallsend v lakes game ?
hearing wallsend were unlucky on the day
cheers
Blake Glennie has left Cooks Hill. Club captain to player/coach and assistant to stay on for the remaining games. Glennie pretty much forced out by club. Interesting to see who they get for next year and it's not going to be the most predictable choice (longtime coach/manager of the club who's been in and out).
any matches played today ?
Only the one, Cooks Hill v Lakes:Quote:

19's: Lakes 2-1 (A scrappy game at times. Lakes got job done but poor pitch didn't allow either side to get going. Seen the field looking better this year)
23's: Lakes 1-0 (Another tight match. Cookers better in first half, high-press and high-intensity but fell away in 2nd half and Lakes wrapped up minor premiership as a result)
1st: Lakes 3-1 (Cookers lead but two goals before half-time put Lakes in front. Cookers reduced to ten men and dropped away. Quality finish for Lakes last goal)
Thanks NewyTyQuote:

Lakes and Cookers seemed closer to what many predicted, stags couldn't handle the favourite tag?
Belswans got the business done, and will be very strong come finals time
Have heard Toronto have found a replacement coach? can anyone confirm?
Have Wallsend still got the same 1st grade squad or did some leave with the coach ?Quote:

Same squad otherwise.
So you would have seen the first goal. What happened there? From what I could see ref blew whistle for penalty, Thornton looked at him and Kahibah player put ball into back of net and he then called the goal. I was always under the impression once referee blew whistle ball was dead. Obviously I must have been reading a different set of rules.Quote:

Credit to lakes for proving they are contenders after going behind early in the match.
Kahiba Vs Thornton - probably not as close as some would of thought - kahiba difficult to beat at home and after last weeks scare against cessnock seemed to be a bit more switched on against the redbacks. Thornton looking to pickup a crucial 3 points in an effort to put some pressure on wallsend failed to show the form that they are quite capable of.
Toronto Vs Westy - Riding high on some decent wins of late i would of picked toronto for the 3 points but westy can be a tough opponent on their day.
Wallsend Vs Singo - Again no suprise here would expect wallsend to take 3points however singleton can prove a challenge if they are up for the battle
Belmont Vs Cessnock- Again no real shock at the result however always a difficult ask playing out at cessnock crucial 3 points for belmont to stay amongst the title race a big game again for them on wed night against westy to stay in the mix
Southy - Bye
