Going from 2 teams to 3 and having no junior sides to grab players from was never going to be easy.
Im not the manager but anybody that has left it a bit late and wants a team its a great club with a good bunch of blokes so let me know if your interested and im sure you'd be welcome.
I thought tingira joined with valentine so they did have access to juniors?
1st place & grand final winners should have got promoted, was wrong that 2nd (and not in grand final at all) got taken up to begin with IMO. should have copied rules of the a-league for getting into the acl.
I don't think I broke Foz law saying that, but if I did feel free to mod snip
Correct me if im wrong but didnt belmont go up because they wrote a letter to the districts saying that since they have joined with phoenix they have a strong junior base to draw fromQuote:

They went up because the finished 2nd in ZL2 last year and when Merewether Advance asked to come down to ZL2 they were the 1st team asked to take Merewethers spot and they accepeted.Quote:

westlakes-1 point behind in third, gf winners, best defence, second best goal difference 1 behind terrace, played belmont 4 times including finals for 3 wins and a draw.
in the end it doesnt matter westlakes will be competitive and will push for promotion again this year
Ah fair enough, yeah i just heard a few things about a guest playing stint for a very talented player. But hay not a bad rumor to have going around HAHAQuote:

When all 3 of them could easily be there.
Fair call. New to the leagues.Quote:

I think you'll find that Cardiff are no longer the side they used to be. It's the second time Suburb have got a win over ZPL teams this pre-season as we beat Mayfield and we have been narrowly beaten by Swansea and Warnersbay. These are pre-season friendly games after all and I don't think to much should be read into them. A lot of work needs to be done if we want to take our place in ZPL just because we have won 2 friendly games we are under no illusion that we belong there win ZL1 first that's our goal and we know its not going to be a easy task.Quote:

Obviously you have some knowledge of what's going on at our club yes we have added some quality players a few you have not mentioned either to a already strong team and yes I would say we are quietly confident but we all know we can not get to far ahead of ourselves the season proper has not even started yet let's see how we are traveling after a couple of rounds. Thanks for the vote of confidence anywayQuote:

Now I Dnt think it was all first grade but from what iv heard it was a fair majority of them. I'm happy to be corrected on that figure but that's just what we were told.
It's worth noting the results against Mayfield, Swansea and Warners bay we were without Webby and DarrQuote:

From what I've seen of suburbs (the finals series last year + swansea, wbay and cardiff trials this year), they have an entirely new look midfield. I don't know that any of their CMs kept position over the break. I've recognised a few faces in ressies though, so credit to the club for keeping those guys on board.
Strange to see almost half the starting XI for first grade finals series squad kicking off in reserve grade against Cardiff.
I've read that maybe last year Barnsleys depth played a big part in overthrowing Suburbs in the end. Hopefully it's their turn?

( I guess if any had missed out on their nbn team selection or something)
That statement alone shows there all geared up to win. And i dont think to much will come in their way.
I think Nelson Bay,Raymond Terrace,Kotara,Wallsend and Suns might disagree with you thereQuote:

Wallsend strong finish to the year last year for a relatively new squad and have added some quality from all reports
Nelson Bay from talk on the foz they have improved from last year
Raymond Terrace ZL2 premiers and have added to their club (just look at Barsley last year)
We are under no illusion that we might have the favorite tag but to say we will walk it in is just plain disrespectful to the other teams in ZL1. That said good luck to all teams this year can't wait for Sunday big game to start the year against Suns and I'm sure they will want to exact some revenge from the semi final loss

Sunday at Carrington not sure of the name of the ground it's just to the left as you come over the bridge
Sporting pulse says the game is on Saturday at Connelly Park not Sunday
I could be wrong ill find out at training tonight and get back on that from memory over the last few years Suns have played home games on Sunday that's why I thought Sunday
Now the ground is shared by League. Football is Saturday and League SundayQuote:
