Garden Suburb V Terrace
3rds 1-2
2nds 1-1
1st 3-1
Jeez, more bitchiness on here than a reality show... And here I was thinking we all played Men's Football. Carry on ladies.
any more of this nonsense and we'll start bannings and outing real names
this shit stops here
Back to the important stuff... that's a big result for Suburbs! Those boys have been a bit inconsistent this year, lose to mori one week and beat Terrace the next.
Suburbs give us a bit of a football lesson at important stages of the game, we have a lot of work to do off the back of that.Quote:

Well done all. It's nice to see all the Zone League comps starting to look healthy.
The pts have spread a bit now.
Barns are in and the next 6 teams fighting for the other 3 spots for mine.
I think certainly Barnsley are in, 30 points is probably the safe number for semis this year (which probably means the next 7 teams are in with a shot) The run in for each team will be interesting and I would say that the next 2 weeks could define what teams are in with a real shot...Quote:

I haven't taken much notice this year, but Cookers ressies are 13-0. Wow. They got solid depth, same team as last year, what's the story? great effort!
Nah, Donk wants to come to Warners bay so they'll reject the opportunity to go up so us lakesiders can stay. Isn't that right Donk... :wink:Quote:

Can anyone recall this happening in the Zone League Era?
I'm not sure its a 100% written rule - I know that Cooks Hill have been told that Northern would prefer a gap between their two top teams. When the request was out to have a team go up they were told that other clubs would be taken over them.....Quote:

Welcome to Zone League Football, we at Suburb haven't fielded the same first grade side 2 weeks in a row all year. I'm sure that other clubs in this competition have had the same issues week in week out.Quote:

I seem to remember them accusing you guys of that in the past Spy....Quote:

I hardly think any club would intentionally push to only win a ressies comp.
True. And I hope that it isn't the case. It could be the players though. A few of them seem older. Maybe they like the idea of a successful year in reserve grade rather than flogging it out in first grade. 13-0 is impressive. Especially given the strength of some of the ressies sides around.Quote:

from memory Cooks Hill firsts still had a good chance half way through the season and probably still do so there wasnt/isnt really any need for changing it up,
its an awkward situation for any club,
us at Barnsley dont want play around with our squads too much,
we have guys in 3rds that wouldnt look out of place in res, but they have worked very hard to get where they are this year,
our res are starting to gel a little better and fighting out some wins, so we now have a chance to make semis
in my opinion this is the time of year to leave squads as they are, get some consistency and get ready or push for finals.
if it was 4-5 games in to the season then go ahead and change everything up,
eligibility for finals also comes into it
From what I've seen Cooks hill have about 6 really solid first graders then about 20 fringe first graders, which is obviously gonna form a real solid ressies team regardless of selection, even their 3rds had about 3 or 4 players that would walk into any other teams ressies. There seems to be a lot of remorse or jealousy towards the club on here, which I think they will only take as a compliment from where everyone is predicting they should be.Quote:

Anyone who thinks a lower team gets stacked from round 1 is having a laugh! We just have a very strong ressies team and firsts isn't going as well as their potential possibly, no need to look for conspiracy theories!Quote:

This promotion ban chat keeps coming up but I've never actually ever heard someone from the association say it's a rule, I think people just assume it is. Even if it was, who's not playing to win every week anyway, regardless of if you go up or not. Maybe promotion it's not all it's cracked up to be, mori crawled back to ZL1 after a season in ZPL and warners bay look like they are coming back next year!Quote:
