Bad day for the Tigers. Bero were too good today in first grade and deserved the result. Very handy side with some very good ball players. Top 4 side in my opinion
Good result kotara's a tough sideQuote:

Going off the above, whoever updated sporting pulse has swapped 1sts and 3rds results.Quote:

Also Stockton where picked to be in the 4 by a few, which I think is probably not right at this stage.
Terrace a quality and I think they will give it a shake.
It should be a close compQuote:

Obviously hard to say this early but it's all in good fun for predictions.Quote:

So four would stay the same for me, I'd bring terrace in for Stockton at the moment and probably 6th would be Jesmond coming into the list.
Jesmond 6th yet they have won 3 from 3 all against teams you have put in the top 4-5? People here seem to be constantly overlooking what they do.Quote:

In no order the top 8 are:
Jesmond
Cooks Hill
Warners Bay
Kotara
Barnsley
Terrace
Bero
Stockton
But good luck picking a 4 from them!
The other two will fight for survival in my opinion.
Well I am a betting man lol... I'm going off little info as well, but thought Jesmond may have been lucky 2 out of the three, as well as injuries in the other clubs.? The other reason is that I thought they may have lost players to other clubs again this year! I was very supprised seeing the Jesmond and W/Bay result, not sure what happened there, as I thought W/Bay where probably a team that would be very hard to beat! If anyone wants to give a report?Quote:

Yeah fair enough, i dont know anything about jesmond besides their results but interesting to hear.Quote:

1st Cooks Hill (Shakey start but seem to be the team to beat still)
2nd Warners Bay (Had a decent start, seem strong)
3rd Stockton (ill stick with them to come good, i know they havent had a good start but i still think they will be there)
4th Barnsley (Come from ZPL and have alot of the same squad by the looks of it, even though they lost they were very good in the 2nd half that i saw against Kotara who are a very good team too)
Big game between Jesmond and Stockton this weekend. A win for Stocko puts them back in the title picture with a catchup game against Charlestown. A win for Jeso potentially opens a decent gap at the top and proves the doubters wrong.
Nice, love your work. Hopefully some more people chime in with their thoughts. Makes for interesting talk.Quote:

Dont know about other grades, Only go to watch 1st.Quote:

I was told that Stockton and Barnsley both have quite a few injuries already. That was a reason I have still put them in my top 4 thinking that once both are back to full strength at the business end of the season they should go well. Might only be room for one of them by then though.Quote:

Cooks hill very strong team hearing they have a few new/old players come back to team from newfm starting to look like the old zpl team.
Bero/terrace dnt know much about these teams just going off results
No real order.
Ok time for some more predictions. This weekends fixtures.
Warners Bay vs Nelson Bay 3-1
Charlestown vs Cookers 1-4
Jesmond vs Stockton 2-1
Barnsley vs Bero 0-2
Kotara vs Terrace 1-1

Out of the teams I've played if have to say Beresfield were the most impressive and missing a few players due to groovin the moo. Not overly convinced about Barnsley but results over the next few weeks will be interesting. Cooks hill were apparently missing players too when we played them. Still pretty even Comp I'd say, too early for my top 4 at the moment...

Boys,can anyone from Charlestown confirm that our game this weekend is on Sunday. There is some confusion at Cooks Hill as 1 draw we have says Saturday and Sportingpulse has Sunday? And please answer honestly!!!!!!!
Definitely Sunday mate.
The draw was amended by the federation as they were waiting to finalise the juniors draws, and then see how it would impact on senior clubs that groundshare. As a result 6 of Charlestown's 9 home games have been moved to Sunday kickoffs.
The federation has also stated they will not approve kickoffs after 4pm on weekends unless there are special circumstances.
