Suburbs 3 - 2
Very entertaining game to watch.

A lot of talk from merewether United, didn?t pay off
Merewether United are confident they will finish higher then their 7th place last year. I think there is nothing wrong with that.
Last night was a game of 2 halves, Merewether were extremely poor first half and pretty good second half. First half finished 1-1 , which flattered Merewether. Second half was certainly entertaining, 2 big mistakes were punished well by suburbs.
Last 15-20 minutes was all Merewether and we just couldn't find an equaliser despite having a goal disallowed and hitting the post.
Well done to suburbs.
Interesting that in previous posts Slipperyfish you predicted suburbs to finish 1st but not long after the Charlestown loss you said they would struggle? One of the Merewether guys was told last night that Suburbs had 7 players out for the Charlestown game, so it just shows you can't just look at the scoreline. Suburbs will finish top 5, but I think Merewether showed enough at times they will finish higher then then their 7th position last year.
Bring on the competition.
Interesting indeed anfield.
My predictions were before I found out suburbs had lost their 2 best players in sparre and wes price.
Seems like it?s anyone?s comp, good luck mate.
Thanks mate, Team to beat is kurri 100%.They did beat a Zl2 team 8-0 the other week, pretty impressive when Uni ZL1 beat the same team only 1-0 the week before.
Sparre and Pryce left quite a while ago, they have a couple of new additions that were pretty decent last night. A new coach with some new tactics. They will be up towards the top, some good experienced players.
Predictions are always difficult, I see probably 4 or 5 teams that could easily finish 3-8 , the first few rounds will certainly indicate where everyone is at.
Wow impressive by Kurri. They always are a force, which zl2 team did they beat 8-0?
Kurri will be hard to beat at home if games are on a Saturday.
Suburbs spent alot of last season without Sparre and Wes, managing to do alright to keep them in the title race until the last few weeks.
I feel that all three zone league divisions have improved dramatically over the last few years with the difference in quality between them shrinking.
Charlestown 3-1 over ZL1 side warners bay in first grade. Reserve grade was 1-0 to warners bay.
Tough night out for Kurri? Anyone catch the game?
Sorry I meant Kotara. They were sharp!

Anyone know when the uni v Greta cup game is scheduled for
Not buying in to the Charlestown hype. Can see them struggling come the pointy end of the season. Kurri to walk the league this year.
Barnsley and Charlestown will be battling for 1st and 2nd.
Merewether, Suburb, Kurri and Greta to compete for the finals.
Terrible take imo
Interesting that a match report made a couple of hours ago from the Bellbird v Greta game was posted then deleted?
Must be more to the story or the the publisher has been told to keep in house?
Barnsley with a very comfortable win. Really should?ve been 4 or 5 from where I was standing.
So much for Kurri walking the league. Think they?ll be lucky to make the top four after that display
Barnsley, Branxton, Merewether and Medowie. You heard it here first
I would be happy with that, But there's no way Kurri won't be in the top 4. Charlestown have been in top form in preseason so I would think they would be thereabouts. Suburbs are still in the Cup and only lost last years GF on penalties, They will be thereabouts.
Medowie are a little unknown, but would have had to improve dramatically to challenge top 4.
I saw Medowies starting 11 from this round, 3 blokes I used to play with in 1st grade at Raymond Terrace when the club was on a run of 5GF wins in a row and they were early 20s then, Denis Fajkovic who is still going to be quality at this level and Lez Wallace who scores goals for fun. That?s not a bad start in the improvement department.
It should?ve been 4 or 5 nil to Kurri in the first half.
Barnsley really didn?t have a chance until the second half and scored off a corner and a set piece. Obviously your opinion is different to mine but if Kurri take their chances the game is over in the first half
Barnsley with a big win in Aus cup aswell. Looking like they will be a good side this season. Kurri maybe an off night? Leaking a lot of goals though from all reports. Put a line through suburbs. Medowie might be a surprise package will be an interesting year for zl3.
Medowie 0-0 Rutherford
Reserve (2-2)
Sounds like they have recruited well and should improve their position from last year. Medowie finished 10th I think last year, so my point of finishing in the top 4 would take a massive effort.
Southern lakes could me a bolter, sounds like they have recruited heavily from a Central Coast club?
Southern lakes look tidy, did alright against the suns and won 6-0 today. I caught a bit of medowie and Rutherford and would be very surprised to see either of them near the finals
You drive around to the opposite ends of the area to watch all of these lower-level games? I think you need a hobby
Up up I was in the area so I dropped in. I didn?t last long though it was a very low level game.

Let's hope the predictions for Barnsley v Fletcher are a little closer as it's Bar TV'S game off the week.
Interesting one for match of the round, I do think Barnsley will be one of the better teams in the comp however Fletcher haven?t showed much promise. Fingers crossed it doesn?t turn heads away from ZL3.
