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.

How did this go unnoticed?

hahaha i think everyone ignored the blatant troll, especially since he couldn't even get his troll right ( Redback vs Pies - Draw 8-3)

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?

Are you allowed a whole squad of overage players like the 23's of this comp?

Thornton's Under 19's are made up of mostly 16 and 17 year olds whereas Maitland's are closer to 18 and 19. That gives them greater experience at this level.

Maitland have a lot more depth and composure. They should walk all over Thornton and I saw the trial match. Main squad wasn't played.

thornton and maitland still on today?

Nah I think all games off? Anyone know?

yeah northern postponed it yesterday on their website, i should have looked there first!

Heard Thornton vs Maitland will most likely be played this week sometime, possibly anzac day.

Great to see the atmosphere in the a-league grand final.
Hope to see a great turn out like that at the Pies v Redbacks Anzac test match.

I'm surprised the fed allowed it. Should have been on the Wed night.

Another quality Match Report from the Northern Website......Since when do you get a 'point on the score-board' when you score a goal. Very bad. It looks like its been written by a teenager (no offence teenagers)
Singleton Strikers SC hosted Belmont Swansea Utd SC on Saturday in the only match that was played for Round 6 of the NEWFM 1st Division due to wet weather over the weekend.
The traveling team got up in the match and took home the three points after they defeated Singleton 4-1 at Howe Park.
Singleton was looking for the full three points against Belmont after they received their first point for the season against Cessnock City Hornets FC the following week.
Belmont have now moved into third position on the ladder and have a total of nine points next to their name as they prepare for their next match against Toronto Awaba FC in Round 7 of the competition.
After a solid performance against Adamstown, despite getting any points from the match, Belmont Coach Brad Paul was hoping to continue their strong performance against Singleton and get the points from the match which they achieved on Saturday.
Brad Cooper, Nathan Goncalves both got a point on the scoreboard for the traveling team with Scott Hadfield scoring himself a brace to make it four goals for Belmont.
Singleton also got a point on the scoreboard for the match after Duncan MacDougal found the back of the net throughout the 90minutes.
Next weekend will see Belmont Swansea Utd SC host Toronto Awaba FC at their home field of Blacksmiths Oval on Sunday the 28th of April with a 2.30pm scheduled kick off.
Singleton Strikers SC will travel to Cooks Square Park to take on competition leaders Maitland FC also scheduled for 2.30pm on Sunday.

The same Fed that scheduled games on the same day as a-league gf! And you are surprised?

Did I hear correctly that Maitland and Thornton had a 2-2 draw? Will make Adamstown happy.

Yep - against a 10-man Thornton (send off before half-time)...

i have heard the same result also that thornton were reduced to 10 im not really too suprised by it either i read a few names dropped on some new signings they have in the local paper there too boost the squad up.

With an experienced coach like Dmac, some talented young blokes like his son, and a few that left toronto, they will be competitive. They have beaten Toronto twice this year already so they will be in the top four with
MAITLAND, ADAMSTOWN AND BELSWANS.

Heard the scores were
19s 3-2 thornton
23s 6-0 maitland
1st 2-2

Looks like the 19's comp is not the one team comp that some thought. Good effort by the young redbacks, especially considering not all the squad were available.

Trial form is quite deceiving, hey??

ROUND 7

Belswans vs [B]Toronto[/B
Maitland vs Singo
Westy vs Thornton- DRAW
Cessnock vs Adamstown

The score line for 19s Maitland vs Thornton was not a solid indication at all and the ref was shocking. Cost Maitland the game.

I understand it has to do with the scoring goals but Thornton were no way near the better side, the ref was a disgrace and in all fact basically lost it for Maitland and favoured Thornton big time....I'm wondering where the top NEWFM 19s ref has gone this year because I haven't seen them yet.

Oh dear, playing "the ref was shocking" card. But I sort of agree. The two non penalties for Maitland were fairly ordinary calls, but as they say, that's football.
Lets hope that next time these two play it's the usual game we see in every league around the world every week: two teams who make no errors, officiated by refs who make no errors.
Probably not going to happen ever, so lets give credit to two teams who fought hard and accept the result on the day.

Wait so Maitland got 2 penalties and they are still whinging about the referee robbing them.

No maitland had to retake a penalty 3 times, scored first two was saved on the third

The referee was definitely poor but that was to both sides and is pretty standard across all 19s games I've seen this year so not really fair to blame him. The penalties were defintely penalties but ones you have to score and it can cost you when you dont. Maitland had their chances but the players coming back failed to really make an impact and Thornton Genuinely looked like they wanted it more; winning more balls, passing better Maitland again had only 1 player on the bench which was surprising as they definitely needed some fresh legs. Experience means nothing if you aren't as enthusiastic in that grade. Should make for an interesting rematch when the two teams play off next time but all credit to Thornton proving to be the better side so I stand somewhat corrected on previous comments.

Chappy and Adamstown would be over the moon, probably painting Adamstown Red White and Green as we speak.

1st 6-1
23s 6-0
19s 5-0

Bell swans 5 tronno 1 first grade
