kurri v stockton 1 - 1 resies
one of those cames were if you dont take your chance it will bite you in the arse as it did , well done to kurri who fought it out till full time.
kurri v stockton 0- 2 1st
good win for the boys , stockton pretty well controlled this came through out , some really good football was played today , credit to kurri who deffended really well , a missed penallty, some close calls and 3 top class saves from there keeper kept the score at 2 -0.
Beresfield vs Simba
Reggies 1-1
Firsts 3-1
We (Beresfield) were ordinary at best...was hard to watch.
Dungog v cooks hill result ?
Both Stockton teams should have won by much more. Resies had a heap of chances and credit to kurri they punished them for not puttin them away. First grade dominated from start to finish. Couple of flat spots that may have led to a goal but kurri really only shot from outside the box and never threatened. Stocko had a missed pen and a host of chances we normally put away. Thanks to kurri for the good day and good bunch of blokes to play against
Dungog 2 - 1 resQuote:

First-Like I said before we played perfectly for the first 25, was told 70% possession and moved the ball around superbly! But frustration kicked in with us unsble to link up with our front runners and not scoring.
Pretty much from there on we were a completly different team. To be honest we were terrible After that first 25. Long balls and there was no shape! something we need to work on at training! After getting a Sturn wake up call from the coach, I can't see us doing that again so badly.
Well done to all teams this wkd
Kurri had a tough day on Saturday with only having 20 players for both games available due to work and a cricket trip but credit to the boys who played and especially the ones who backed up and played 2 games
I didn't see much of ressies but what I did of the first half Stockton probably were the better team but our boys held there own and went to the break at 0-0 I didn't see all the second half or the goals so can't comment but with a player shortage we will take the draw
1st grade knew it was going to be tough from the start having only 6 fresh players one being the keeper but we held it with Stockton in the first half and in my opinion was an even affair and we went to the break at 0-0
The second half was a different story with our players who doubled were starting to cramp and fatigue but still tried and that's all you can ask for on these days Stockton took advantage of this with the extra time and space we allowed them the first goal was pretty soft just not shutting the ball down and caught our keeper out the second goal was well worked by Stockton and they deserved it our keeper was by far our best player with some saves you would normally only on see tv totally awesome stuff and I think Stockton would agree there
Also a big thanks to the 3 officials we had after not having any appointed and them turning up
Looking forward to next week and hopefully having 11 fresh players for both grades
Soft!! I thought it was a cracking goal from the centre back. 30 yards out and nailed it. Definitely will be the last I score.. I mean he scores this year! ;)Quote:

In sure the boys would have sung it loud, first win for the club! Big day!
That may sound smart arsed, but it's not meant to be!
Yes , we have a song , the original ..... " from the hills around Awaba ........ " but why ask that ?
And every player knows it, cause every players a local .... ;)Quote:

Thoughts on this?
the ref can blow full time at any time in a match barring a penalty kick same goes for half timeQuote:

Good start for Toronto Awaba yesterday, but id like to know how these referee allocations work....
After learnng via email, not to expect referees this weekend, i organised through this forum ( and thank you shark attack for showing up to do the job ) a referee to cover, when he showed up, out of the blue, a referee turned up in full kit telling us he is waiting for another ref to show, so we send our fill in ref away wih humble apologies ( very embarrassing ), only to find out the ref that turned up didnt feel like reffing as he was 74 and already done friday night and saturday games, and the other ref didnt show, so now i call on the club referee to come do it, which he did admirably in reserve grade.... THEN , low and behold two more refs turn up to do First Grade.... what the hell, makes it very hard to organise anything.
Must add same thing happened John Beguin Cup day when i organised a bloke to come out from maryland on his birthday, only to have three refs turn up.
To add to the hi-jinx, the young girl who was reffing pulled out second half as she done her knee, hope all is well with her.
What a day.
PS Thanks and apologies again shark attack
Was thinking the same thing...we'd organised for a couple of club guys plus some guys doing an all-age game to cover our games then all of a sudden a ref rocked up telling us he was doing both. Not complaining at all was just weird.
And for some reason he added 10 mins of stoppage time to first half of first grade. We don't know where it came from.
So after this round has been completed, next round sees
Dungog v Kurri
Stockton v Bero
Simba v Toronto
Cookers v Mayfield
Dungog v Kurri; Kurri had alot of players out and some players had to double up so im not certain if that was their usual 1st grade side, if their goalkeeper is fit enough to play, he will keep (pun intended) them in the match for sure. Dungog have a good team and grand finalists last year proves that, maybe lack of match practice could have hurt them last week, but Ill go a 1-1 draw
Stockton v Bero; Well this is what i see as a top 2 clash, whoever wins this will have an advantage over the other come the second round of games, Bero have been by all reports outstanding in preseason, Stockton have been super themselves, scoreline didnt really reflect their game as the Kurri goalkeeper pulled off some amazing saves and commitment to keep Kurri in the game, i think at home but in the Corroba doctor, Stockton will get home 2-1
Simba v Toronto; I feel Toronto can get a win here but im going on the fence with a 2-2 draw
Cookers v Mayfield; I'm tipping Mayfield to get a good result here and get a 3-2 win
Must say a fair analysis there Buddha-Quote:

We held possession amazingly for the first part of the game and looked very solid, but let the game get away from us with frustration kicking in and everyone decided to change tactics after that. Kurri Kurri did well to hold Stockton to 2-0 without a full side and showed they are going to go well this year. But I'm confident we can play the full game this time round.
Stockton v Beresfield - (1-1) Both teams seem very strong. Stockton from reports have made errors at the back in most of their trials and cup games, though I believe Stockton would play the better football it may let Beresfield in for a draw or may even see Beresfield sneak a win if they can capitalize on the chances offered.
Simba v Toronto - (2-2) Don't know a lot about simba, but I think 3-1 was decent against Beresfield. I Assume simba haven't had many trials so they may kick in to gear this wkd. Toronto have had good results in trials/cup games, but most games have always conceded a few goals. simba who is normally strong in attack may take advantage of that. But Toronto I think would be more likely to snatch it then simba.
Mayfield v Cooks Hill - (2-3) Cooks hill I think will be similar to last year, mid table. Against us we found plenty of space switching it regularly when we controlled the game but didn't take advantage of all the space. Second half when we were absolutely terrible, they couldn't get the ball in the net and only passed it around nicely when they had all the time in the world to. But they do have players who can score on their day but I believe they will let plenty in at the same time. Mayfield I think could possibly let them off the hook and allow cooks hill to grab the win.

Dungog will be looking sharp this wkd with out new personalised playing kit arriving (hopefully)! And the new warm up shirts the following week.
What is everyone's firsts team age average this year? Dungog would be around 20/21 I would say.
Noticed you have tipped Bero. Bit optimistic to say the least.Quote:

Match of the round Bero v Stocko.
What's the deal with everyone tipping Bero over Stoko or the draw? Buddha is the only one really talking any sense on this forum.
Looking at your name I'm sure you have a vested interest in this fixture. I'm sure "The Doctor" will be in full force to get stoko, sorry stocko, over the line.....Quote:

I'm from stocko.. We have a longgg way to go. Think the boys just love having a bit of banter. Anyone who knows us should learn to never take us too seriously. Don't get offendedQuote:

I know for certain we are well aware of what this league can throw up. We have to keep a winning mentality without getting further than one game at a time.Quote:

I play 1st grade for a certain team in this comp and I love getting on here and listening to the banter that goes on.
I agree that it's to early to call a certain winner of this comp yet but I think a couple teams know they got handed a football lesson last week.
I think Stocko and berro will decide the front runner for the year. Both teams have taken it to a new level
I think there is only one "proven" team that has taken it to a new level and we all know who that is.Quote:

If yous are such the super team you claim yous really should have rolled us by at least 5 or 6 but took till late in the second half to score at the end of the day I no a win is a win but if you talk it up that much it will make it more enjoyable for the other teams when they roll yous and if you play like yous did last week I can see that happening a bit this season
