Not sure, think a guy from Barnsley said they were hoping to keep hold of them somewhere in this tread.
Which players have Lakes, Valo lost/recruited?
I think it will defo be between these 2 for promotion and Wallsend will sneak 3rd place.
Yaaaawwwnnnnnnn!!!!!
Very quiet out Belmont way this pre-season Sancho!
If rumors are true Kahibah will take some beating.
Premy they are well drilled. They've got a formation to suit, be hard to break down, but will struggle up front again
Could be one of 3 people haha,
Yeah but back at terrace, got a few things to get sorted this year, house and so on,
Get back into it next season
Just noticed that SportsHunter have a preview of some of the NEWFM teams on their website.

Cessnock played Weston tonight. 1sts 5-3 loss & 22s 4-1 loss.
Not sure on strengths of squads but Cessnock seemed improved on last season.
Predictions round 1:
Cooks hill United 1 - 4 Cessnock city
Belmont Swansea 3 -2 singleton
West Wallsend 2 - 2 Kahibah fc
Lake Macquarie 5 - 0 Toronto awaba
Valentine fc 7 - 2 Wallsend fc
Thornton 0 - 4 bye fc for the upset 👍
This weekend
Is the Westy ground going to be ok for this weekend?
Apparently the FFA Cup games scheduled there last weekend had to be postponed due to ground issues.
I hope some of those score lines are wrong. Hoping to see all the games with only a goal in it but I fear the likes of Valentine and Lakes could put on some big scores this year. Hopefully not for Newfm's sake! I'd be surprised if Wallsend conceded 7 against Valentine and I think Lakes could possibly put more in against Toronto. I'll back Cooks Hill to win their 1st game and Kahibah to win also.
Agree Cessnock over Cooks Hill by 3 goals.
Singleton over Belswans 2-1
Westy to beat Kahibah 3-1
Lake Macquarie City to thump Toronto Awaba 8-0
Valentine 4-1 over Wallsend
Thornton should get over the Bye but only just.
Interesting how everyone has a different opinion - hope this comp throws up some upsets each week for interest.
Cessnock draw Cooks Hill 2-2
Belswans Over Singleton 2-1
Kahibah over Westy 3-1
Lake Macquarie City over Toronto Awaba 4-1
Valentine 6-2 over Wallsend
Agree Thornton should get over the "Bye"
Good Luck!

Which is the match up there that looks like really shit team V really shit team????
Cooks Hill V Cessnock looks the best game for me
Stay at home, MFKS. Save everyone the mental anguish.
Thornton are playing Weston I believe due to their bye
it is Cooks Hill United first ever game in the State Leagues - for a measly $5 entry on the day you'll be able to tell the grand kids you were there
yes, we have a liquor licence and several fridges full of beer to sell to increasingly happy punters
please drink responsibly
Baxter field... Seriously?
Have a look at the draw, with such an early start to the season and many grounds not available, Valo have been asked to host 3 of the first 4 games at our training ground.
Cmon now, the federation didn't call you up "hey valentine, we were wondering if you could host some games at your training field instead of your home ground, thanks"
You're using the field because you do not have access to Cahill Oval, as it is leased out to cricket and Run n Cuddle.
And which of the other NPL/NEW FM clubs don't have access to their fields?
for the first month of the competition, there are no home games at Thornton, Belmont, Singleton and Kahibah so I'm assuming what northern said is true.... Cricket is the reason for Cahill, possibly Rye Grass for some of the others but at least we still have options.... so that why Baxter...
Predictions round 1:
Cooks hill United 1 - 2 Cessnock city
Belmont Swansea 2 -2 singleton
West Wallsend 2 - 1 Kahibah fc
Lake Macquarie 4 - 0 Toronto awaba
Valentine fc 4 - 2 Wallsend fc
