If there are any spare players in your squads, we will welcome them to King Park.
How short are youQuote:

Upcoming games:
This saturday Coogee Utd
Next week Lake Mac NPL
what trial games are coming up, I havent gotten to any games yet cos I never know when teams are on in preseason. this season should be a good one with last years top 4 competing with suns and azzurri who will no doubt be right up there. heard warners bay are pushing for finals too this year but cant see how they finish ahead of 4 of those 6
Went and watched the local derby Saturday Charlestown v Dudley. 4-0 to Charlestown but Dudley got in behind them a fair bit just couldn’t beat Archerbold. Charlestown are bloody slow at the back and might be in for a Long year.
Highlight was Azzurri legends vs Dudley legends good to see some of the old boys running around
Terrace played Cooks Hill from ZL1.
We had to borrow many O35's players to fill in for 3rds and a couple for reserve. 1st had only 11 and 2 boys from reserve grade backed up for 1st.
3rds: 2-3 Cooks Hill
Reserve: 1-3 Cooks Hill
1st: 3-2 Terrace
Good results considering. Cooks Hill firsts and ressies are very decent teamsQuote:

We now await a response from Russel Henry Yao see whether our request has been granted or not.
Can NL or CH be promoted to ZPL with them having NewFM teams? There used the be the thing where there had to be two divisions between squads from the same club......does that even apply to NewFM or only the Zone Leagues ???Quote:

No issues with CHUFC being in ZPL and NL1 as the comps aren’t linked. Watch this space.Quote:

We were already there, so it wasn't a logical consideration. That seems to have gone by the wayside. Quote" If you win it, you get promoted" R/Terrace 2018, Hamilton 2019. We were asked as the next in line.
Having said that, ZPL would be a great 'proving ground' for an aspiring club from Zone Leagues to move up the food chain. We did 5 years there. Great preparation for the leap into NL1.
I can now confirm that Raymond Terrace’s request to be relegated to ZL2 has been approved.
Good luck on the rebuild lads, see you in ZL1 in a year or two no doubt.Quote:

Double edged sword isn't it. More prep time = an increase in congested fixtures whereas less prep time = reduced congestion. Considering injury risk would be biggest worry I would probably prefer a couple weeks prep and then realistically treat the first 2-3 games as 'trials' physically and mentally rather than have a little extra training but have to play 3 games every week
In the NPL this season, reserve grade and 18's are able to use 5 substitutions off the bench. Maybe adopting this rule for one season would alleviate a lot of pressure on fitness levels and injuries in the lower divisions
I think that’s a fair idea. 2 weeks pre season then into itQuote:

Not NPL grounds but if Mayfield Girls are cancelled on Sundays could it host an alternate week and host Kotara? Garden Suburb? Administrators need to think big picture.Quote:

The National Cabinet meeting last Friday also said children's sport should be prioritized.Quote:

I'd put money on them all being started at roughly the same time.
I hear some talk of not all 10 teams are going to play in this years comp once it starts back up. Could be a 7 or 8 team comp. Don’t blame any club for pulling out if it’s half a season with no final and clubs still having to pay full freight to the association. Plus all the other restriction.
Big zoom meeting Monday night I'm hearing, yeah I heard a rumour lots of teams looking not certain starters for this yearQuote:
