This is a really interesting round of FFA Cup football.
For the first time we have a large number of NewFM teams coming up against Zone league opposition with all clubs in season and will (hopefully) take the game seriously and play at full strength.
How many of the 7 match ups will go the way of the NewFM teams and how many will go to ZL?
These results should give a good indication of where NewFM is in relation to ZL.
I'm tipping ZL teams (Jesmond, Terrace, Suns, Argy) to win 4 of these games and NewFM teams (Kahibah, New Lambton Cooks Hill) to win 3.
Anyone know when these games are being played?
Argy vs wallsend
Thursday night at argy
This will be a really good match. Wallsend have built a solid team over 3 yrs and Argie are going to push promotion this yr.
I know higher graded teams battling it out but there is something about this one I like. IMO, a good measure of the gap or lack of in zl1 to zl2.
Dudley v redhead next Tuesday at 7 at Dudley. Will be a challenge but we'll have a dig.
Barnsley W/Bay result?
Terrace V Thornton
2-2
Pens 3-5 Thornton go through.
Dudley vs Redhead (for those who don't get it that it's 2 different clubs)
11-1. Redhead led 1-0 after 5. Dudley made it 1-1 after 7. Stayed like that until around 30 mins. 4-1 1/2 time. Dudley class capitalised on a couple errors in the back as expected at that level. Very fast paced half. Dudley scored 5 in a 15 min session after 1/2 time. Redhead boys did proud. Score does not reflect the effort. I'll say some simple errors at the very back cost us 5 goals. Read into that what you like. Entertaining game in pretty ordinary weather. Was played in good spirits, no injuries and we move on to what's important now.
Have heard argie 2 wallsend 2, unsure on pen result. Kahibah newfm 4 edgie zl3 0. Both bloody good results.
How's Stockton looking?
Very lucky!
Good effort from Argy seeing as they are 2 divisions below. Argy were 1-0 up after a couple of minutes, and 2-0 up midway through the second half. Wallsend got an ugly goal with around 10 to go, and then equalised with close to the last kick of the game. Wallsend missed the first penalty but came through and won it in the end.
I thought it was the Newfm Wallsend team? Which would be 4 divisions below
How was the match onlooker? You guys step up to the mark or Thornton a bit underdone?
Just been told Cardiff vs Westlakes has been moved to Speers Pt tonight at 6pm
It was a great match I'd say we stepped up, not sure if it was all Thornton first grade but they did have majority from what I could tell.
0-0 at half time both teams had chances to score but a mixture of poor finishing and great keeping kept it even. Second half Thornton got out to a 2-0 lead then one of our young fellas came on scored one set up the second. As I said before we hit the post really late and could have snatched it. Midfield was a good tussle we have some very talented players in our middle who wouldn't look out of place higher up the grades.
Interesting night out at Swansea, deadset could not script that.
Swansea equalizer came late in the game.
Game goes to penalties.
Cooks Hill leading 4-3 on penalties.
Lights out.
No literally lights out, match abandoned, game to be replayed in full.
