Big shout out to the Bero boys for making an appearance in the NEST for a few cold ones after the game. Great bunch of blokes and all 3 games played in good spirit. Good luck getting your ground sorted fellas!!!
Jesmond really making a statement at the top of the table!!
I agree, luck is just falling there way!
Let's hope the string of good luck continues
Stocko game was pretty even until the last 20. Looked like stocko would run over jeso but jeso bagged the late goal.
No real luck involved.
Tables don't lie. But would be more accurate once everyone has played eachother.
Lucky or not they're top of the table. It's all about finishing chances and they have.
I'm thinking Jeso have a good PR guys and social media team working hard to keep them under the radar... 5 from 5 they are the form team in the comp but nobody seems to know how they do it just that they are lucky... you make your own luck They are obviously doing something right... Maybe they are folowing the Foxes model... do you guys get pizzas for clean sheets???
Other blokes that seem to know more about our club than we do ourselves are doing unbelievable job of keeping you all informed. When we don't get the chocolates though they'll be right and we will be relegation candidates again.
The truth is we know we've been lucky at times, but if people knew the entire picture they'd be aware it hasn't all been rosey, highlighted by our most important player currently on crutches amongst other crap we just don't feel a need to broadcast.
Big game Saturday v Cooks Hill but last time I checked was worth the same amount of points as Charlestown the week before and Nelson Bay the week after and Kotara the week after that.......
From what I've seen, Jesmond have scored 4 goals off the shins, and 3 from miss-kicks so I reckon they've been lucky. Throw in the 2 goals from definite offside and 1 game they paid the ref overs. They still won't make the top 4.
I have been watching this space as a keen observer for weeks now and would like to say I've never read so much jibber.
If all the lads had as much poetic license as Stockton we would all be wearing glass slippers.all 3 grades from the wrong side of the bridge are where they are on the table for the simple reason of thuggery not football.
Peace nosmackjustfact

Terrace V Bero.
3-3
Got down to see the game yesterday. Terrace were up 3 nil inside 20 mins and looking like taking the game away for a white wash. Terrace created a lot of chances in the first half using the quick men up front. Bero got back into the game with a goal from a corner and a well taken free kick with last kick of the first half.
Second half was back and forth with both teams creating a few chances. Bero got a 3rd goal from a terrace goal kick picking out a Bero player and him putting it away from distance. Terrace ending up with 10 men for last 10 mins made it interesting with Bero looking to grab a winner. Even points in the end. Credit to Bero for a good fight back. I'm sure the Terrace boys will be kicking themselves not to have taken the 3 points from this game.
Kotara v stocko

Shoulda been a sweep, but we just couldnt score in reserves.
This comp is crazy.
Good game of football between Stockton and kotara. Big 3 points for the Sharks
Coach Panda has been reminding all at Stockton that he is the first coach in 3 years to beat Kotara 3rds at Nesbitt. Tbh they should have won about 16-3, but ironically the number 16 for Kotara missed about 10 sitters and a penalty saved, I lost count how many one on ones he hit straight at our keeper. Surprised the coach put him back on in the second half
Gutted to lose in Reserves, fought hard to get it back 1-1 then had two chances cleared off the line from a corner, absolute screamer to win the match.
