Bit of a dribbling in 19's there
off-topic as not about first grade but how on earth is it ok for a 19's team in this division to not even show up with 11 players?Quote:

yeah i was aware they had the full compliment at the end.. field player in goals to top it offQuote:

Ryan Broadley, Ben Martin, Mitchell Higgins.
Dont know what others rate him but i know that Alex read is returning to the area if any club has a interest, seeming as it would be hard to find a NBN club with rooms in there point system at this late stage as someone mentioned to me
Done!!! We'll take him. I've heard BelSwans are in the market looking for a replacement for the "Portugese character" and… he won't need to worry about no points stuff! Send him along to Blacksmiths Oval. Training Tues/Thurs nights 6:30 - 8:00. Thank You Cunning Stunts!Quote:

Stay tuned for the postponed game dates

Must have poor drainage 😄😄
Hybrid grass.Quote:

Here, we have crappy grass, mediocre drainage, we play at least 3 games of senior football on a wet pitch. Some have juniors play on the pitch, I imagine some have juniors sneakily training on the pitch, if not their first team training on it occasionally.
Blacksmiths and Stockton = 2 best wet weather pitches. But try and play there on a sunny day and slide/fall on it, nursing grass/sand burns for weeks.
And what do you expect, we can't even get our premier Asian Cup 3rd place playoff stadium up to a decent standard:lulz:. I bet all the NBN grounds would be in better condition than that minefield. We should at least paint the sand green.
Cessnock are going to be busy with 2 out of their first 3 games postponed (or as they put it cancelled :wacko: )Quote:

Spoke to 2 officials, games are DEFINATELY ON at Blacksmiths this afternoon.....Yeah!
One of the guys from cessnock said this is the 3rd wash out in 17 yrs at home!

The latter still stands.Quote:

Only when junior play on them in the wet or when they haven't recovered to they get damaged. Junior fields are another story, i don't think i need to detail why they are shit.
One of my favourite quotes from my Old man(who comes from Blackpool)"If we didn't play when it rained we wouldn't play all season, bloody tossers little bit of water never hurt"Quote:

Belswans 2 Thornton 1
Yesterdays results from Blackies Oval.
BelSwans v Thornton
19's 3-3 (draw)…. H/T 2-1 (Thornton)
23's 3-1 (Thornton)… H/T 1-0 (BelSwans)
1st's 2-1 (BelSwans)… H/T 1-0 (Thornton)
Pretty ugly game (IMO).Quote:

Thornton played great in the first half. 2nd half they were unlucky with a soft pen and after that Thorntons defense just fell apart and Belmont capitalised scoring a 2nd goal.Quote:
