4 - 3 Suns about 24 to go
4 - 3 to suns about 20 to go.
Suns down to 10 for handball on the line to stop a goal.
Mayfield miss pen
5 - 4 suns
Suns limp over the line with 10.
Mayfield miss a crucial pen after the red.
First half was all Suns with Mayfield having two or three chances. Mayfield had a keeper change as the starting keeper looked to have a shoulder injury.
Second half saw Mayfield bring it back to 2 - 1 with Suns scoring about a minute or two later to put them back up 3 - 1
Two more quick goals brought it back to 3 - 3.
Suns scored a shortly after making it 4 - 3.
Mayfield them put a cross in and the ball gets blocked on the line for handball with the ball still rolling into the net see a red card to the Suns centre back and a chance to equalise.
Mayfield blast wide to the right and then Suns go the field to score against the run of the play making it 5 - 3.
Mayfield score in about the 89th minute but unfortunately couldn't equalise in stoppage time.
Congrats to suns for making the final (I hope you guys have lost that megaphone during covid), I think the centre back for Suns getting carded was worth it as he looked like he wasn't gonna play the final limping quite badly.
The game had a bit of everything!!!
Suns hit the bar at 3-1 and mayfield scored not even a minute later to make things very interesting
Just another standard ZPL game really. No in all seriousness it was very entertaining. Completely different to yesterdays semi final where both teams barely gave each other a sniff. This afternoons match defending was definitely considered optional. Three fantastic grand finals next weekend though. It should be a great day out at darling street.
Both sides left nothing out there. Absolute cracker of a game. Tough day for Mayfield having to stretch across three grades.
Really looking forward to next week. Four clubs being represented on the day.
Suns v Dudley
Warners Bay v Cardiff
Dudley v Cardiff
Those three games deserve to be played in town at a venue accessible to most. Super glad the way things have panned out with that.
I’d rather shit in my own hand than step foot inside mayfield. Up the Panthers, reserve grade is where it’s at anyway
Wow the mayfield curse continues for finals. Keep chipping away at it lads your time will come.
I predicted this grand final days in advance, let’s see if it plays out like i said it would. I’d comment on lower grades but the cardiff faithful seem to pepper me with insults if i predict they lose
Best of luck in finals to all involved
congrats on picking the 1st grade GF teams in advance, it wasn't rocket science, 1 out of 3 games, well lucky I'm not punting on your picks again.
geez your a bit touchy aren't you, if you think that's an insult you might need to toughen up a bit....
In the end, you can predict what you like, but when you pick a side to lose by 7, no matter what the excuse you give, i take that as an insult, obviously you don't know the comp real well or your just fishing...
happy picking, Mr Beautifulllllllllllll
Telling me to toughen…
Then crying about how I predicted that the team you support would lose 7-0 haha the irony..
Don’t bother replying either because It will fall on deaf ears!
Shame on Cardiff Ressies for spoiling the party for Dudley having 3 teams at Darling Street
New forum rule… all score predictions that have cardiff involved must have cardiff winning or else prepare to be verbally assaulted.
Getting petty over a score prediction which i do for a bit of fun. Hate to think how you guys will carry on when you get dusted in ressies and 3rds this weekend.
Take note that none of the other teams i predicted to lose resorted to name calling because they see it as just a fun prediction. Believe it or not I don’t watch every game on camera and analyse squad lists in my spare time.
I was having some fun, had a joke about being on the punt and your bad predictions.
Its not only me having is having a dig at you now, so pull your head in, its blokes like you who get on here, 24 posts in and react to whatever is said and take things way too personal, its a forum FFS.
if we get dusted, we get dusted simple as that, but we are playing on Sunday, so come enjoy the day, i will even buy you a beer...who do you support by the way?
Mayfield more choke than a old Holden 👍👍Up the bay yeeeewwww
Mayfield scraped into fourth in all three grades and had to stretch across playing all grades on one day. Choked in the past, but I wouldn’t say they did this year.
Finals football doesn’t seem to favour them though! Especially the last 5 years anyway.
Yeah everyones being a bit harsh on Mayfield. They probably only came 2nd to Dudley in the club Championship at the end of the day so once again have proven to be one of the strongest clubs in the ZPL.
I have to disagree with the choking comment though Lofty. If you miss a penalty to make it 4-4 with an extra man advantage for the rest of the match you have to be considered to have choked a little in such a circumstance.
Agree to disagree then. Mayfield never led during the match. I think that if the Suns didn't hold on, the conversation would be very different. I don't think Mayfield ever got into a dominant position and choked as you say. They were behind by two goals in the match 3 times. Anyway, I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion.
And for the record, Mayfield were fourth in Club Championship.
Would probably say Dudley won Club Championship? 1st in 3rds, 2nd in Res, 2nd in 1sts.
Dudley - 177
Warners Bay - 166
Suns - 162
Mayfield - 158
Cardiff - 153
Not playing the final round against Westlakes may have cost us a few points. Fairly tight top 5 though!
Just quickly - how is Club Championship points counted?
Gonna be a cracker day Sunday!
So what are everyone’s predictions for the big ones on the weekend?
3rds Dudley vs Cardiff
Dudley the dominant team all season and many would expect them to continue to show it on Sunday however you would be a fool to write off this Cardiff team.
Ressies Warners Bay vs Cardiff
Arguably the match of the day. Warners Bay the best team across the season up against Cardiff who have probably been the form team of the comp over the last month or two.
Firsts Newcastle Suns vs Dudley
What more needs to be said? Possibly the biggest rivalry in Newcastle football. The only guarantee from this one is that there will be a red card (probably more)
3rds Dudley 4-2 Cardiff
Res Warners Bay 3-0 Cardiff
Firsts Newcastle Suns 3-2 Dudley
