Barnsley goal was penalty
Solid hit out Barnsley unlucky not to get a draw
Kotara won't be anywhere near wooden spooner as suggested
Same team as last week bar one change due to injury.Quote:

Kotara look to be strong and one of teams to beat. Along with Cooks Hill who they beat in rd1.
Barnsley seem strong with a win in rd1 and people saying they controlled a lot of play against Kotara. Jesmond, just going about their thing without a lot of hype as they seem to do. Stockton, not a great start but a few injuries i hear? Then the other teams who are all very capable of beating any team on their day.
Any other match reports?
Cooks hill vs Stocko I thought would be alot closer?
Cook Hill took an early chance then got a pen. so 2-0 inside 10min then just kept applying pressure. Stockton didn't have the best day at the back (think they'd admit that). 4-0 at HT. Funny second half we were happy to sit back and hit on the counter. Plenty of chances for both sides in second half but some good GK/poor finishing kept it to 1 goal, an absolute bomb by our striker with the last kick of the game. In my eyes a pretty fair result. Rugged old game though, Ref struggled to gain control. Refused to pull any cards out and pretty much left the players to sort it out themselves. Stockton's pitch is horrendous. Not sure what happened to it but tough to play good football on.Quote:

jeez, i thought carroba oval was the one of the best fields to play on in the rain. it was always bone dry.
Used to be when it was fully sand based and one field. Then was developed for two fields and underlay was apparently supposed to hold the water better or something?? I think council cheaped out and now struggles with bare patches from pooling of water and really lush patches. This is purely what I've been told though.Quote:

It'd be better than ours at Tarro.Quote:

Kotara must be ok they played in quite heavy rain last week. Cookers, has that ground ever been washed out?
Some others may struggle though?
Yeah thought I should let yas know. Purple and black mate. A lot of black.Quote:
