After watching Cessnock play the other week I can't see them getting into the top 4. Maitland had a almost 23's side playing and still walked all over them. Thornton and Westy didn't look that strong either.Quote:

Thornton 1 Toronto 1
I heard Thornton playing with 10 men and unlucky not to get the win.
Match report would be good?
Have to agreeQuote:

gotta say it was a weird game.
in about the 4th minute an off side trono striker gets the ball and is one on one with the keeper. touch juge rules him off side, ref blows the whistle. players complain, ref argues with touch judge, then gives a drop ball to thornton. thornto guy, instead of doing the usual sporting thing, goes (screw you) and kicks a long diagonal ball to his right winger who lashes a wild wide ball which deflects of a team mate and goes in thegoal. At this stage it was thornton 1-0 instead of trono 1-0. the rest of the half it was all trono with poor finishing, exept for a late goal to stags.
second half about 15 in thornton redheaded player thinks he's Paul Gallon. The ref must have enjoyed it as he (the player) came back 3-4 times punching. eventually the ref rang the bell to signal the end of the round and sent boxer boy off.
fro the remainder of the match thornton pressed forward and could have piched a win. Tallan Martin and Scott Baillie were the pick of the players. Martin controll the middle of the park. Trono midfield didn't respect him and gave him enough room cause damege while Baills defensively was dominant. Apart form those 2 the rest of both teams were ordinary. end of the day the result was prbably fair although i feel that stags probably have more potential. If either of these 2 teams make the semis, they'll have some serious improvement to do.
ps youaskedforit will probably, once again call the ref a c***head.
Why would i say that, have no allegiance with the stags, and wasnt at the game................Quote:

Hmmmm... an interesting question. I think it will more than likely be a fight between Toronto and Westie. Thornton have a lot of games to play in a short space of time, perhaps too many, although you know what happens when a team "gets on a roll", you start "flying high".Quote:

Are your 1st graders at full strength ? should be a great game and IF Belswans pull it off then it makes a for a superb run in to the season.
It will be interesting to see how the buds come back from not having played for so long as they were just hitting real form before the enforced weather break.
I think if Adamstown play well and get the 3pts it might be hard for Maitland or yourself to keep pace but they will have to earn it as Belswans are without doubt the form team at the moment.
My predictions is Belswans 1 V Adamstown 3
Went to post in the nbn thread...nek minnit...gooooooooooooone
back but a new one now.
Yeh "Long Balls" between these mid week catch up games and the "Le Tour", I'll be burning the "midnight oil" for sure..... makes a really cranky swan. Can't see why the games weren't played last Sunday at a more sensible hour though.Quote:

Unfortunately I believe the BelSWANS will have a couple missing due to work commitments but I've been reliably informed that the boys that are available are "champing at the bit" at the prospect of "getting at" the competition "high flyers". At the end of the night we'll see who is "flying high" I guess! An A/town win will surely see them promoted.
A good win for your 19's boys on Tuesday. My predictions (i'm hoping for):
U/23's - draw.
1sts - 1-0 to the BelSWANS!
so who won the catch up game between bel-swans and the buds?
:banghead:Quote:

Buds 2 - 0 Belswans. Congrats to the Buds, would appear they have secured promotion.
Hearing some of the names at both clubs and watching both play this year i would say that scoreline is a true indication of the sides.Quote:
