ah fk, i forgot ZLg's have this shit semi's system.
I really enjoyed watching minor majors where teams are being cut or heading to the big one. instead get 1st leg farce or dead rubbers.
i know we've been over this before & some may like this system but for me disappointing.
Wallsend all three grades. Went something like:
3rds: 1-0?
Res: 2-1
Firsts: 2-0 with 10 men for 3/4 of the match.
All but cements finals football for firsts and thirds, provided firsts don't get belt by 5 goals a game from here on in.

Our Prez txt'd me Dudley v Cooks Hill off today.
I hear there was some pretty crazy scenes at Barnsley yesterday. If what I heard did happened I'm sure there will be some boys with sore heads this morning!
Anyone from barnsley care to let everyone know what happened?
New Lambton v Wallsend
3rds- 2-1 New Lambton
Reserves-1-0 Wallsend
Firsts- 2-0 New Lambton
I can tell what didn't happen...and that was putting SP scores in. (Not the only ones)
Get out of the kitchen!
Not rocket science people.....
2-2 with a minute to go. Barnsley get a free kick near half way. We send the keeper into the box. Ball isn't cleared after the free kick. Ball sent back in for the keeper to hit in the winner.
Also 3-0 barnsley in 3rds
4-2 barnsley in res
3-2 barnsley in 1st.
Not sure who enters the scores
Rumour doing the rounds that a club from NEWFM is close to going bust.
Honestly don't know what club but was only told a club so does this mean a ZPL side will be promoted? If so who is the pick? I'd be guessing Cooks Hill will be close to being promoted or the Bay.
What does the 1st grade ladder look like and is there promotion to new fm this year for the winner.
Cooks hill and wallsend
Have heard a few rumours, one is that it's lakes that are in trouble and have been told they need to merge with warnersbay to stay alive, second is that it is morriset for newfw I know for a fact that they have submitted an application for it, and third is that morriset getting there players from Toronto and also players that live in the area and travel to other clubs now as well, they have given there coach money to spend and his been out poaching players already
It could only be a geographically based decision if Morriset were promoted. Many other clubs deserve it more.
100% agree. NEWFM will remain a joke if they promote teams with minimal stability. I'm not sure of the junior base out in that area, but their constant struggles to get players would suggest it's not massive.
For me, the team from ZPL that would be most suitable for promotion would be Cooks Hill. Their ground is being improved and they have a massive junior base and strong performances since promotion to ZPL. Obviously New Lambton, with their massive junior base and consistently strong performances (except for last season) over the last 10 years would have been a good shout before they were moved to Alder Park.
I've heard Northern are keen to have the 2nd largest Lake Macquarie Club in New FM, said Club are located very close to a club already in New FM that have no association with a junior club.
There would only be minimal players from Toronto leaving I suspect, the surname of one might give it away.
Morriset is pretty close to the Coast, maybe some Valentine players who are sick of travelling all the way to Belmont could head over there too.
Swansea to newfm
Could be a dumb question, but why would they have 2 teams so close to each other? Swansea and Belswans seems stupid to me,
Any news on catch up games? the continuing wet weather would not be helping.
That would be interesting....I personally don't see that this would improve the NEWFM competition given Swansea's lack of depth for a number of years at ZPL level. Especially at a junior level, as Swansea have been quite vocal in having the u/23's restrictions removed in this competition due to them not being able to find players to fill that grade.
Im not having a crack at Swansea, I just don't see how it would improve the NEWFM competition especially at the expense of Bel Swans (if that's true).
What's going to happen to Kahibah next season now CT has signed for Maitland?
Believe Kahibah have signed Andre Gumprecht as player coach
