Due to this we have had to make an all age team to accomodate..
Few players retunring to the area has helped and wouldnt be surprised if we sneak under the radar...
Will be good to see the Terrace-Bay rivalry again!Quote:

I know 5 of the guys personally who are going from lakes to wallsend, they are all quality players and will definatly strengthen the side.Quote:

In dropping down so does the training, the tactics, the discipline, the level of team mates etc... guys move down because they want to have to spend less time training, less time in pre-season, be with their mates... to take it a little more casually. yes everyone is still competitive, I just think the way some clubs tag guys as being from "NBN" or "New FM" is more about making a club sound impressive. And that goes for all divisions.
I watched a fair bit of Wallsend the last few years because a mate plays there, last year in mid season the got Tom (forgotten his last name) who was ex Lakes and Zac Douglas from Edgie (ex jets Youth).
Now the guys who played against Tom I am sure noticed he had a quality about his game, as could Zac. But I would possibly have still only just put Tom in a team of the year for ZL1 and probably not Zac at all. Maybe they guys who played against them could judge better but tagging them as Ex NBN really meant nothing.
I remember Wallsend were 2nd last at rd11 last year going nowhere then by rd18 5th missing the semis by a point albeit a fair way from 3rd. These players must have made some diff.Quote:

Thirds and ressies are playing Olympic ZL2 at The Gardens on Tuesday night 6pm and 7:35pm
How'd they go?
Swansea Vs Gardo
1sts: 5-3
This game was played on Tuesday night. Interesting result and definitely a game with plenty going on in it.. Some absolute bombs scored by both teams (including an oggie from one of our boys that was reminiscent of the infamous 1978 Roy Drinkwater own goal for KB United.. hahaha.. He couldn't do it again if he tried!!)
Some promising signs for both teams, Swansea are going to be strong this year and dominated us in the 1st half, surging forward in large numbers and knocking about a lot of neat triangles.. Second half we lost a few key players - through injury and discipline - but somehow it brought us back into the game and had a much better second half..
Res/3rds combined game will be played out at Swansea tonight, 7pm..
Gardo 5-2 SwanseaQuote:

Wallsend V Olympic ZL2
Thirds - 3 or 4-1
Resies - 3-2
Jesmond FC have had this weekends opponents cancel. We are looking for a trial, our ground is available and we can play either day. 2 grades, could possibly look for a team to play your 3rds but no guarantees. Phone Mick Coates on 0412 449 333.
hey guys, wondering if any teams still looking for players? my brothers just moved here from Sydney. keen to play anywhere in the defence.
played 1st grade for maroubra session before Last and a casual season with Mac uni last season... keen to get back into it.
thanks for the help
