As far as the remaining rounds are concerned , we play Merewether tonight , Charlestown Saturday and Hamilton in the final round. This is a tough run into the final series , and we wont be taking any of these teams lightly. We are well aware that we only need 4 points to win the minor premiership (on goal diff) but we will be playing as we always do...to win. I realise the Charlestown and Hamilton games will be very important to both teams in securing a top 4 spot and I wish them the best of luck. Either way the next few weeks will be entertaining and passionate football. Look forward to it!
Strongly beg to differ on the staying in ZL2 part. I will talk more on that subject if we actually get top spot which as you said we still need to lock down! Agree with rest but, going to be a tough end to the season, fingers crossed we get the job done. Looking forward to tonight!Quote:

Merewether 1 - 4 Muswellbrook first grade. Much better performance this time - both teams had several chances for more goals but were a touch wasteful. Muswellbrook showing why they r up the top with plenty of speed and movement that made it quite hard for us. Good bunch of blokes who had a laugh and chat with us during the game.
Can honestly say Merewether are a good bunch of blokes , thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm they showed with nothing to play for they still came out and played with their heads up and in good spirits. Thanks lads , we at Muswellbrook wish you guys all the best.Quote:

If Medowie win by 8 it could also be interesting....
Also. If Jeso win 6-0 and Mussy draw 1-1, they'll finish equal on points, goal difference AND goals scored!
Sack race, anyone?
Charlestown 2 - 1 Muswellbrook
Well haven't we made it a lot more difficult for ourselves... That being said, last night was one of the best games of football I have been involved in this year. Football is such a funny game, we play awful against Medowie and Merewether and pickup two wins. Put in one of our best team performances of the year and come up short, but in the end that's football. IMO Mussy were definitely the better team in the first period. Created plenty of chances, playing through Charlie's midfield time after time and exposing their wide areas, but again a mixture wastefulness in front of goal, scrambling defense and decent goalkeeping proved detrimental as we only took a one goal lead in at the break. Despite this, Charlie weren't by any means no shows in the first half with Chris their striker looking dangerous everytime he was in possession and was definitely the most likely to create something for them. We just about dealt with him but restricting him to a couple of half chances from range, Charlie's biggest threats being set-pieces and were happy to go into half-time with a clean-sheet and a slim lead.
Second half continued in the same vein, Mussy playing well, Charlestown keeping well in it and threatening from set pieces without really having any clear cut chances in open play. I can't remember the sequence of events exactly but basically in a 10 minute period Charlestown scored from the scraps of a corner and Mussy missed a penalty to seal it. This changed everything. Charlestown looked a lot sharper with their tails up and pushed for the win, Mussy looked a bit leggy possibly from the 3 games in 6 days but regardless it is no excuse, we shouldn't have the lead slip. The final period was pretty end to end, both teams hoping for the winner, which Charlestown grabbed in the last minute of regulation time. Again Mussy not clearing their line from a corner, Charlie picking up the scraps. Game over.
A note on the ref. Hands down the best we have had all season, I don't if he made a wrong call all night, I wish we could have him every game. Similarly the club ref that did the ressies game, thought he was top notch. End of the day big congrats to Charlestown on securing their finals spot, they battled hard all game and took advantage when we dropped our guard in the second half, doing just enough in their defensive third to keep us out as well. Well played guys and you well and truly deserve your finals place. I think Charlestown are a generally solid team, sprinkled with some real quality that makes the difference. I enjoy that they try to play a decent brand of football as well, with both teams attempting to play a passing style last night it was really enjoyable to play and from speaking to a few neutrals, was a great game to watch. Hard to swallow as I think our boys played really well too, just one of those games where Charlie wanted it that little more and showed a little more desperation. There was a bit of niggle during the game, but when its a high-stakes match like last night was, as if it wasn't going to be competitive and have a little bit of fire. I think there is a fair bit of respect between the two clubs but and after the whistle both teams shook hands and the sportsmanship was great.
So it all comes down to the last round, heaps to play for and it should be an absolute cracker!
Its good to see that the race to become Premiers is going down to the last week and same with the race for the final four. It makes my comment at the half way mark some what true, that this comp has been a real tight one. Well for the majority of the table anyway.
How come clubs like Charlestown have little to no supporters? Muswellbrook brought with them maybe 50 people, though some of which were expats living in newy. Charlestown would have had between 5-10. Just surprises me that these clubs can't draw something resembling a crowd, especially on a Saturday night.
Also, big respect to the Charlestown player that came over and thanked the travelling Muswellbrook supports after the game. Top stuff mate. Your #7 could learn a bit from you.

Cheers butcher that was me and also also me that reffed.not sure on the crowd but agree that it was a good hard game.maybe you guys up the bush should stop chasing kangaroos and hit the pub a bit more you guys are too fit and fast for my liking.good bunch of blokes and best of luck trying to seal it.txk on the money with your views.
Hi txk do you know if your reserves are still coming down to play tomorrow night v merewether ? I see they cant make the semis now and would be a long way to travel for what some would call a "nothing" game. I'm pretty sure our boys still wanna play.Quote:

So its come down to the final weekend of the season to determine the fate of all 4 teams. Very exciting stuff , couldn't have asked for a better end to the year! On that note , good luck to all this weekend. Now we face the task of travelling away to Hamilton this weekend needing to win to wrap up the minor premiership. Doesn't get much harder than that , but sure to be an entertaining game. As the way it stands it will make for a competitive final series. If we beat Hamilton we will (most likely) play westlakes in a 1V4 playoff. If we lose we will take on Hamilton once again. Jesmond look set to take on Charlestown or Hamilton (assuming Charlie beat Uni) or even Westlakes... Its confusing huh? lol. No doubt westlakes will be sweating on results. Any thoughts?
As thephenom said mate we will def be coming to play. Regardless of the nothing to play for we have had teams forfeit against us at home in the past and its just something out club has always held a strong position against. Speaking to majority of the boys today they are still very keen for it and looking forward to their final two games before sitting back and having a brew whilst supporting our firsts from then on!Quote:

BUT if Olympic win, they'd overtake Westlakes on GD, and if Charlie don't win, they could finish 3rd or 4th, depending on Olympic's result...
So Muswellbrook vs Olympic is massive in both grades!
The amount of Ke$ha that I have listened to......
What happened, not sealed after all?Quote:

That said, big game for both teams this weekend and there will be no excuses either way.
Should be a cracker :)
olympic v mussy
res 4-0
1st 1-2
well done to our reserve grade boys for making semis and for finishing the season strongly. Also, congratulations to mussy for winning the premiership, best team all year and deserved winners. We played well today and went 1-0 up early and continued to play well in the 1st half, putting mussy under some real pressure. 2nd half mussy were too strong and just over ran us and deserved the win, so well done. Also, well done to Jesmond, Westlakes and Charlestown for making the semis, all the best.

any news on the uni charlie game?
Congrats to the screaming eagles
Uni v Charlie
Res: 0 - 0 (Uni wraps up minor premiership, finally! haha)
Firsts: Uni 4 - 1 Charlie
Thanks Dingdong! Agree with all you have said, Hamilton really strong in the first half and put us under some real pressure. Pauly (as always) and Lucas up front were class! Second half we pulled our fingers out but and came away with the points. Stoked to have clinched it in what was again, a really good really competitive game. Hats off to Olympic a bit of niggle on the pitch but afterwards their attitudes were top notch and we had a chat and a beer. I've said it before, but that is what local football is all about! Cheers for the game Olympic and your hospitality, really well fought and unfortunate you aren't there in the finals, a quality team. Off for some beers, congrats to all the teams that have made the finals. Will be a good contest!!!Quote:

So the bins used to clean up after your childish habits magically appeared?
Second on the canteen yes there was none but at your ground I personally purchased from then had to supply change so you could charge everyone else,an under run canteen is better than none?
3rd your card situation totally wrong I seen one uni player lash out at least 3 times and remain on?i think you should not give accounts with the amount smack you dribble.
NO SMACK
"No smack" - drops a line about other peoples mums :rof:
Congrats to Mussy on taking the premiership. I really didn't think Jesmond deserved it (solely because I didn't see anything special from them at all) so was glad to see someone overtake them.
Olympic were my pick for the GF. Them not making it has changed everything. The only prediction I can make is that the teams who get a good run with refs will take the cake, that's about all I'll be able to distinguish between the sides IMO
Congrats to all teams in the semis
1v4 1st Mussy v Westlakes
1v4 Res Uni v Charlestown
2v3 1st Jeso v Charlestown
2v3 Res Olympic v Westlakes
Charlestown n Westlakes have busy weekends coming up playing Saturday and Sunday but bonus is both teams in the semis
4 red cards? That comment is laughable.Quote:

And I'm sorry the four garbage bins that were all located outside the sheds were not located close enough to your rubbish tip next to the team's bench. Perhaps Westlakes can be more accommodating and provide a fifth bin to allow for the rubbish you are talking on here.
I'm a minor premier now. I'd like to thank Kesha(with a dollar sign), Charles Grodin and the country Luxembourg. Three true inspirations. When we win the Grand Final, I promise you all that I will find a way to combine the three and together we will build a better world. Thank you all. *mic drop*
