Agree with all of the above. Was happy with the result especially it being our first ever competitive run out, but also still plenty of things to work on.

Anyone got the odds on the random draw to be
1 ZPL team Bye
9 ZPL teams v lower division teams
it certainly didn't work out that way last season - Cooks Hill ZPL had four other ZPL teams in their games, Barnsley had Z2 or lower all the way until Coffs Harbour
I can't remember the exact details but I'd calculated the odds of our draw being as hard as it was as 6.25% - which isn't impossible, just highly unlikely from a random draw
:lulz:

Is this weather likely to wash any games out?
Games at Beresfield are off!!
South Cardiff is out
poorly organised by NNSWF, with the NBN competition to start this weekend not many clubs would want to risk their players or grounds 4 days out from the competition starting.
Suburbs off
The games at Blacksmiths are still on Charlestown v Magic and Belswans v Valentine.
Magic 3-2 Victors!!!
I hope Kotara have long sleeves cause its gonna be a cool one down at Corroba with the Corroba Doctor blowing, i do recall Lingera saying they will beat any ZL2/ZL3 team convincingly, i hope he's ready to eat his words!!!!
Results???
Stockton Kotara finished 2-2, into PKs now, will post when i find out final result
Kotara 6-5 on pens. Rude awakening for Kotara boys who probably expected a walk over this match. Lingera you were saying about convincingly beating any ZL3 side????
Nelson bay went down 2-1 against Plattsburg
clearly preseason results have no reflection on anything.
Bel swans v phoenix result
Dudley 6 kahibah 0
Wallsend 2 Cardiff City 1
talk about dumb arse refs , we played kotara last night , we wore blue and red mostly blue , kotara as everyone knows are orange and black , the ref in the middle wore black shorts and an orange shirt , when we ask the ref could he change his shirt so he didnt look like one of the kotara guys , there coment was we are happy with what we are wearing ????? , we deffently werent.
From what i saw magic had 4-5 players out and charlestown had 1-2, i still think that prediction might be very close.
You have to remember they play 35 minute halves, plus it was a night game. on a better pitch and playing a 90 - 95 minute game, i think azzurri would have been touched up big time. especially if both teams were at full strength.
