Newcastle Council closed all fields in its LGA till Monday (today) 7am on Thursday, they would have communicated this to NNSWF, not sure if LMCC did the same...Quote:

Maybe Souths just ignored the council and trained anyway

They played at #2 on the Friday. But they don’t fall under the NNSW banner. NNSW put a blanket close over all competition and trial games they are in charge of, same as the Jets youth girls who played Apia on Sunday at Speers point, whilst it was at a NNSW venue they had no control of the game went ahead or not other then if lightning was around in the day!!Quote:

This is possibly how the jets where able to play and Northern calling a blanket close on Rnd 1 was why the local clubs couldn’t.Quote:

The email from NCC stated that all grounds closed except for National Park No. 2 and games scheduled for that Friday night.
Wonder if therell be a blanket closure again this week.
They should call off each individual ground as needed. Weather guessing isnt working so well
Should've left it, Azzurri would've been able to host youth last weekend, our fields at Gateshead dry quite quicklyQuote:

Not a red at all. First game of the year and things changed after the red but since minute one, really very poor overall.Quote:

problem with the game seemed to stem from anything associated with red in the middle :blink:
Yeah they may come 3rd last at best .Quote:

Poor refereeing IMO. But the league is filled with average refs at best. So this will not be the last time this happens this season.
Seems like all the teams below first grade might beQuote:

Red card all day. Cookers throwing themselves around like wrestlers. That wont wash for the season.Quote:

I'm sure I read that $70k was spent on magic park playing surface, watching bartv, it seems they have been ripped off, Greyhound track in better condition.
Very true. 👍Quote:

How was lunch
was having a looksee at some other games and goals.
I had to laugh at keanau moore from magic. tosser thinks he's the man giving declan hughes whos sitting on the deck
a cuff in the back of the head as he runs past after the magic goal.
not tall enough (or left enough??) for jared mullers bullet is seems. :rof: Hughsie the dummy kicker on hand for the rofls too
ain't karma a bitch?
Not bad thanks.The place was filling up with people to watch the Knights so we went to the soccer instead.Quote:
