Dudley v Suns
5-0 with 5 to go.Dudley ran away with it second half
8-1 I believe most if not all third graders started in reggies
2-1
Always going to be a tough day at the best of times. Thirds and ressies were the same team. Limping through to the end of the season, just 24 fit players across all grades again today.Quote:

Pumped up the tyres on the treadly and headed up the hill for a much anticipated match. Saw 20 mins of res. Dudley 8-1 after suns full team backed up from 3-2 loss in thirds. Dudley res look a very good team but hard to judge v a team who has to play 170 mins. ! First had plenty of skill, but no fire. I wasn’t interested in foul play but expected an aggressive and competitive match up. Suns showed signs of quality, Dudley just a class above. Ref let everything go, maybe 8-10 frees in the game, was good. It was like he thought these guys will kick the shit out of each other or they won’t. Mayfield with a 7-0 win puts them back on top by 1 goal. Hope they have a serious battle next week.
Boys, I'm looking for a new club. Turns out Scoring 52 goals was abit out of reach. I'm a heaps good player but.
When do Swansea start preseason? I'll even pay rego :o
Dudley ZL3 looking for players next year. Sounds about right.Quote:

Saying that, we will put this season behind us and move on, no whinging, no blaming anyone else on where we sit, we know why we are where we are and we know what has to be done to rectify it.
One game to go, see if we can go out on a high...do I hear an offer from the Dudley boys making a donation to our Mad Monday drink......kegggggggggggggg
Didn't Dudley receive a few free cartons from their sponsor pub at the start of the season? I'm sure they still have a few lying around for you Jardel.Quote:

They have 3/4 grounds to choose from. They're coming up.Quote:

Played them many times in pre season etc so dont have any dramas with them.
Actually love the banter and carry on.
Reading this forum it sounds like the boys are quite comfortable with a bit of carry on :oQuote:

My understanding is it's a facilities thing - the field is ok apparently.Quote:

On that note Bero's sheds aren't that big either.(and no I'm not picking on Bero, just a comparison) so what's the problem, you win you go up, didn't know we are criteria based in ZPL.

Yeah the sheds are very basic and pretty gross. The ability for fencing the ground off maybe? I wasn't at the meeting so this is all second hand knowledge, but my understanding is it's facilities holding us back.

Well never knew or didn't really pay much attention to that section, it hasn't stopped anyone in the past from rising to ZPL as long as I can remember.
[QUOTE=Jardelsimage;228153]When they brought it in and did the reconfiguration of ZL they brought in some fencing requirements. We at New Lambton were cool as we were at Adamstown Oval at the time, but when we moved back to Alder Park we had issues. We managed to manually fence off the ground each match day, and it was ok'd at the time. Newy Football may have a different view of whether that is applicable 6-7 years down the line, and obviously views can change, but that's what we did (until we could fund a fence, get agreement with others users, approval from council etc).Quote:

[QUOTE=idontwannaplaywithhowey;228155]Could be on to something here - defo no lightsQuote:

Used to be a cricket pitch in the middle but was pretty much abandoned.
Cardiff played a trial there against you.
Went passed the other day and now fully fenced.
Thomas Percy. Yeah we used to borrow it for preseason, there’s goals up all year round.Quote:

From memory someone was using it? Mayfield (not sure which) used it for training a few times, also I think a women’s team might have been using it? They must have fenced it for cricket but I’m not sure how much use it gets?
I haven’t seen it since the trial vs you guys. Might have to swing by tomorrow.
Thomas Percy has had a new cement cricket pitch put in it. I think it is used for rep cricket training and games. Hunter Christian Churches play on there and Mayfield use it as a second ground. But it has been washed out for weeks this year as it has the worst drainage .Quote:

I heard they might be using Carrington. One on the list.Quote:

Agree and what if next week is a washout it's so stupidQuote:

But I agree just scrape the idea.
The clubs involved when this was originally tabled voted to have the Round 18 game played before the Finals series so that you have flow into the Finals - so they voted to NOT have the week off before the Finals.Quote:

Mayfield V Cardiff will be a great game. All i can see Cardiff trying to injure as many blokes as they can before the final whistle. But Cardiff don't have the same bite they once had, sitting in 9th with nothing to play for.Quote:
