Now before you blowup I am not picking on Southy,as I said,everyone buys their squads
I think lakes may have won it mid 2000s,other than that it has been magic edgy or Weston over the last 10 years.Last year was the first time Olympic have ever won the premiershipQuote:

Stafford was playing z grade, Faj played maybe 2 games of the bench and Walters was playing reserve grade, FFS, south Cardiff are not the ones buying trophies, they prefer to win them, look at the turn over of first graders at other clubs and then you will understandQuote:

One big gravy train. good luck to anyone if you can make a buck from this sport. Other clubs will become big and so forth as the years go by. So, lets get back to kicking the **** out each other and stringing a few passes together so the supporters have some good entertainment.

Match report of Stags and Maitland?
Rosebubs V Singleton
Only watched the earlier grades in this one as had planned to duck over and watch Jaffas V Magic. U19's was not a bad game but both teams will have valuable room for improvement. Rosebubs win.
Both 19's and 23's were rather one sided in terms of possession and shots on goals, I hope it was a combination of being an away game and a Sat that forced Singleton to play their entire 6 Over Age players in the starting team (my apologies if it wasnt six but it certainly looked like it was from the faces and builds). U19's backing up can be a good thing if they have earnt that selection but I think Sat was more a case of no other players being at the game so they had to use U19's as their bench.
While I didnt watch the sheer knowledge later on of the first grade result simply had me shaking my head, not at Adamstown's score but at having seen how poorly Thrornton played the week prior to have seven Rosebubds goals put in their net to have 12 is simply a full step and a half below the standard that should be acceptable at this level.
That was the third time I have seen Singleton in action and am now seeing quite a bit of value in those questioning the Federation continuing with them at this level. Considering the cost to all clubs and to the Singleton players themselves in travel alone not to be competive to that degree is a concern.
Cessnock V West Wallsend
Actually caught all three grades here. A fight in 19's which appeared to begin with a headbutt and was returned by a decent punch then quickly moved to melee stage with all but 5 players at least grabbing and/or pulling at others. What was amazing was 3 officials watching and only the first 2 players red carded?? I agree with those entriely but what of the next 2-3 players who then joined in not being repremanded at all or captains spoken to? Odd to say the least. Cessnock won an even game one nil and that will possibly be a game West Wallsend will regret not taking points in later this season. On the positives Cessnock moved the ball well at the back and West Wallsend appear to have picked up 2-3 new players who looked quite capable at this level.
U23's saw West Wallsend take the points in a game which they should have scored at least another two with the domination in attack. It seems both sides defences have some issues, Cessnock played out poorly at times and Westy played backwards far too often. Midfield was a good battle between youth and experience but in a quite humid day at that hour took a toll and didn't live up to the possibilities of the first 15 mins. In attack Cessnock lacked any real punch whereas West Wallsend played their width well and were regualry getting balls into the box but delivering too close to the keeper.
First grade saw a real one sided affair in West Wallsend attack over running Cessnocks defence system. Blake Glenny picked up a hat trick but off some fantastic work by his other forward. Both wide midfielders played well for Westy but the game by Cain Riley, so I was told is this tall lads name, was a true dagger in Cessnocks game plan and they had no answer for his runs, cutting inside and crosses, and the returning Blake Redman on the opposite side kept the Cessnock midfield honest in trying to deal with both sides of the park.
Cessnocks goal was part luck and part poor positioning from the keeper while West Wallsend goals game from good build up and some confident finishing.
Since I was taken to task over a few comments about Belmont's ground lol I thought I'd continue and comment on the Cessnock field. Now I actually enjoy this park, I like seeing juniors and seniors together. The outer grounds next Sat full of kids will be a lovely sight and last year I saw juniors teams playing on the senior field which I thought was a good to see a club do also.
Parking, while not a great deal to watch the game from really at this time of year is not a problem. Middle of winter on a rainy Sunday I might have said differently but I was happy to enjoy the Sunday weather, park up in the upper car park and stroll down. Canteen was lovely and I thought very well priced which just encouraged me to spend that bit extra. Stands were good and provded great shade in the sunnier part of the day. I only saw the away sheds for a moment at the very end of the day and while not huge they did accomodate the entire team and coaches without feeling like people were on top of each other. And importantly a coach could talk and use the whiteboard and all players see him/it easily.
The pitch was a slight let down, seeing the colour from the top car park I had high hopes but saw up close the uneven surface hidden by the thicker grass which became more obvious from a few of the bounces during the games. But to credit both clubs on the day I cant remember a single player blame a bad touch on the surface. A little help from the Council up there could see a good venue be given a surface to match the club volunteers efforts.

It was a mixed bag of results for Maitland district teams in Northern NSW First Division football matches on Sunday.
The Thornton Redbacks conceded twice in the final 15 minutes going down 2-0 against Belmont Swansea at home while the Maitland Magpies kept their unbeaten start to 2013 intact by doubling up in the second half for a 2-0 victory against Toronto Awaba at Blacksmiths Oval.
Magpies new signing Ben Martin continued to make his presence felt with two goals, which takes his season tally to eight after the opening four rounds, while Thornton struggled to put their chances away according to Redbacks coach Darrel McAllister.
“We suffered from not putting the ball in the back of the net,” he said.
“It came back to hurt us and it’s not the first time this year.”
It was at the other end of the paddock that McAllister was most impressed with midweek recruit Shannon Szmynec, formally of Lambton, Beresfield and Adamstown, *making quite a first impression between the sticks as goalkeeper.
Overall, McAllister said the contest was an even one and the result “could have gone either way”.
The Magpies made no mistake on the north-eastern edge of Lake Macquarie and made it four wins from as many matches.

Martin, previously from Edgeworth and Broadmeadow, scored a penalty midway through the second half to break the deadlock before sealing the game with a second finish 10 minutes from time.
Tim Grant and Adam Sidoti both left the ground injured and will undergo fitness tests at training this week.
In other results, Adamstown annihilated Singleton 12-0 at Howe Park on Saturday while Cessnock suffered their second straight loss with a 4-1 result against West Wallsend at Turner Park on Sunday.

goes to show that in this comp, if any team wants to make a serious push for promotion, as in previous seasons, u have to recruit a quality striker. the level of defending that i have seem at some games is at times laughable, and decent strikers punish these teams quite severely
ben martin is probably the best striker in newfm.
Looking at the scores it doesn't appear to be to hard to score in this league, if you make NBN a 12 team comp then newfm would have to be disbanded
Isn't that what NNSWFF are looking at doing? I heard it was State League the ZPL in the next year or 2 with no promotion or relegation but rather a application every 2 or 3 years to remain in the comp just like a State League license deal. This could be wrong but it's what I've heard around the traps.Quote:

I did not see the entire game however from what I saw Toronto never looked like they were even interested in playing and were lucky not to be punished on multiple occasions e.g. saved by some very close offside calls by the linesman.
Struggled to match thorntons quick boys out wide and up front who were causing problems for the older fellas in torontos back line.
Maitland vs West
19s 2-0
23s 3-1
1sts 4-1
Maitland v Westy
19s 2-0 Maitland
Not the best game Maitland had played this year but appeared to be missing/resting three key players? (captain and new midfielder) anyone from Maitland confirm this? Maitland kept the ball fairly well and should have won by a bit more with some obvious hand balls not called.
23s 3-1 Maitland
Was a tough game to watch. Maitland not at their best and Westy just struggled, couldn't keep the ball in the early stages. To their credit got back in the game but ran out of legs in the end. Maitland need to sharpen up though.
1sts 4-1 Maitland
New recruit Ben Martin scored another brace and could have had 3 or 4. Westy never really in this game and while it got a bit scrappy in the middle stages Maitland were a class above. Players came off looking a bit frustrated, obviously high standards at cooks square park these days.
Good day out for Thornton boys, bet it was a good night at the Pub :grin:Quote:

19s 2-2 draw
A game that did not lack effort as both teams gave their all but it did lack quality at times , that said it was a grandstand finish to the game with both teams scoring at the death - draw was probably a fair result but Belswans will be the more dissapointed to only be getting a point.
23s 7-0 Adamstown
A very one sided game and this game should have had double figures on the scoreline but for some great goalkeeping by the Belswans keeper.
The Adamstown Rosebuds 23s have on the occassions I have seen them been very entertaining to watch and are well drilled in keeping the ball on the ground and playing football and have some fine young players in that team. The strikers they have must be the fastest boys I have seen for a while at that level and they clearly know the way to the net as well.
1st grade 3-2 Adamstown
Not the most beautiful game of football I have witnessed but a fair reflection on the game. Adamstown were always in control of the game and never looked in any real danger throughout but just never seemed to be able to shake off a well organised Belswans team who fought and battled for every second ball.
There is a boy playing for Adamstown called Matthew Paul and everytime i have witnessed this kid he has scored some gems and been a class above everyone else on the park and today again was no exception . How this boy is not playing in the NBN defies me and having watched a fair bit of NBN over the last few years in my view he would walk into almost any NBN team.
Given the scorelines that Adamstown 1st grade have given out in recent weeks I think its no disgrace that Belswans came away from the day with a narrow defeat and I must also say well done to the little kid in the middle of the park with the black pony tail as he had a great game for Belswan
Matty Paul chooses to play for Adamstown. Many clubs have chased him the last couple of seasons with no luck.
TIPS- Round 6
Singleton vs Belswans
Adamstown vs Westy
Toronto vs Cessnock
Thornton vs Maitland
Tips - Round 6 (U19's)
Singo vs Swans - Draw (7-7)
Buds vs Bells - Draw (0-0)
Stags vs Hornets - Draw (15-15)
Redbacks vs Pies - Draw (8-3)
Round Summary;
A very controversial round, with Pies to maintain top spot but lose undefeated run. The 15-15 draw is possibly the most dramatic yet likely result as hornets still have a new key player out due to an undeserved red card coz ref didn't take into account swag points accumulated from the sick punch. Singo vs Swans game is at 3/1 odds for 8 red cards as teams finish with minimum 7 players each on the field. Redbacks will benefit from swag points recieved for mad but unnecessary shoelace headbands that most players have, and therefore will come out with a deserved victory.
Great result for Maitland. , but from all reports Westy have many good young players , but lack in depth, and besides smith their coaching staff are very inexperience and couldn't adapt and adjusting to the games in all 3 grades to be a threat , can this be varified
Belswans
Adamstown
Cessnock ( unless d.baillie plays )
Maitland
I think you should say Matty Paul chooses to play for Chappy (glen chapman) not Adamstown,Quote:

In saying that Maitland's side is much more experienced and that may give them edge in a game of high emotions. If key players return from Maitland well rested that could also have a big impact.
Thoughts?
