So the migration of the Phoenix continues. ..... getting closer to Blacksmiths hey boys!
Any round 4 predictions from you "up homers"!!!
Heard Cessnock and Belswans was 2-2 can anyone confirm ?
Valentine V Toronto
19s 1-4
23s 5-1
1sts 2-1
The wind had quite a bit of impact on the game this afternoon with Valentine probably having about 90% possession in the first half with it. Toronto sat back and let them play it around instead of getting buggered chasing them all day. It was clear Valentine were waiting for Toronto to make a mistake which paid off when they scored the first goal. Only 1-0 at half time after controlling the game would have been disappointing for Valentine. Toronto hit back to make it 1-1 and they were pushing very hard for the last 30 minutes. The 2nd goal for Valentine came in last 10 minutes or so, it was a clear penalty, their keeper almost saved it, just slipped underneath him.
Teams who try and play pressure Football against Valentine at Cahill Oval will find themselves in trouble, they are quality passers and will make you run around all day.
Just glad to get the three points ... Could easily have been so different today
Any idea anyone of the Maitland score ?
1st Grade Mait 8 - 0 Westy
23's Mait 6 - 1 Westy
19's Mait 0 - 1 Westy
Anybody knows the scorers in this game ?Quote:

West Wallsend v Maitland saw a new referee to the area. Apparently from Central Coast has joined Northern's ranks for higher level experience. All things considered I thought she did well, not perfect but no one will be and her first showing at NewFM level also.
Only thought I had was she perhaps should have sent the two players off mid second half for their behavior and not just yellow card them. And hopefully with a bit more experience in the ranks will be more comfortable not allowing players to delay restarts by wanting to talk to her over decisions.
But with the low numbers of officials I think she will be a very welcome addition to the top divisions.
Just a warning to all players and clubs.
Referees have adopted a new system it would seem this year.
Referees can submit "complaints or incidents" that happen on the pitch but have not been dealt with on the pitch (ie no card) and the club (depending on severity) can receive warnings and even fines for persistant bad behaviour.
My issue is if something has happened on the pitch why doesnt the referee take action against this player.
Anyway just a heads up.
The ref that did the 19's was a disgrace, I heard her talking to the Maitland coach in a disgraceful manner when he simply asked her a question (in a non threatening tone). I'm all for ref's being shown respect from both players and officials but it needs to be noted that they need to show respect in return.Quote:

U19 Cesnock v Westy abandoned after westy player taken from field in ambulance.
At time was thought worrying as had no vision, poor recollection of even basic things such as day of weekand parents.
Vision returned while en route to jhh and lucid but still awaiting xray for possible fracture ofeye socket late this evening.
Very well handled by both clubs and teams i thought at time, was obviously serious accident and heard not a single comment out of place anywhere which was great.
Anyone heard if Maitland vs Valo on tonight?? I know the youth grade was cancelled yesterday. Did they was out 1st Grade too?
Still on at this moment
23s at maitland is off
but first grade is defo on at 745 kick off
1-0 Valo half time. Both had chances.
Heard Cessnock beat Westy 4-1 tonight.
Maitland 2 beat Valo 1 good contest' got a bit heated at times a few meaty challenges some went unpunished, a missed pen 3 goals couldn't have asked for much more as a spectator
2-1 Maitland
Valo keeper to blame for the first, second goal scrappy. Could have been more broken legs than goals tonight.
Pen Maitland got with a few to go i thought both defenders and attacker both got the ball wasnt much in it. Both teams not up to NPL standard tonight.
Great game to watch.
Maitland would have to be happy with the large and vocal crowd at the game.
Benny Martin has a penalty curse when going for his hattrick. Its the 2nd time this season he has missed a pen that would have given him a hatty.
well done maitland.Quote:

Thought Valo maybe edged the play, especially in the first half, their backline was really structured and as team as a whole kept a really good defensive shape. IMO a draw would have been the most accurate result but can't begrudge Maitland for battling and coming from behind to claim what I think will prove a pretty valuable 3 points. Again, as a neutral was a really good game to watch and I think it's pretty clear these two are the pick of the division.
I think what was trying to be said was Benny Martin has trouble getting hattricks. Not that he is shit with penalties.Quote:

I personally have always had the philosophy that you pick a penalty taker, and he keeps taking every penalty until he misses one. At which point you give the next one to someone else, until he misses one. And pretty much just go down the list.
Not a great result last night and thought a draw was about right but fair play to Maitland as I never seen that second half from them coming
could not get out second half and Maitland never let us breath
As for ref , give the guys a break , I thought match was handled very well and a lesser set of officials may have spoilt was was a thrilling encounter.
Benny Martin may have missed a penalty but are you forgetting the other two he did score .
If ever there was a lesson of not taking full advantage of a dominate first half it was last night and valentine paid a heavy price
Still all to play for and long way to go .
I also think the ref was losing control maitland #6 ( Corey Fletcher I think) was lucky to get away with a robust challenge ( second half in corner near entrance gate in plain view of linesman)that could have possibly seen red. What shocked me most was it didn't even get penalised bare minimum should have been free kick and yellow which would make him think twice about the shirt tug that he was booked for later.Quote:

Valo dominated first half clearly and were unlucky not to be 2 goals up at half, but Maitland showed their never lay down attitude and got themselves back into it.
Was a good one to watch from the sidelines, both teams goin hard.
a few good points and questionable points made so far.
my veiw the ref was consistant and some challenge we rough but its top two first grade teams going at it. its not goin to be a light hearted game. ref did well on my veiw.
as for valentine dominating first half i dont see how you think that they only really had prob 4 good chances to score all game which one they did score of they maybe had the better in first half but to say dominated is a bit much IMO.
they did have a really good easy chance they should of scored early on in first half were maitlands keeper made a really good save. the first half could have gone eother way i think. second half maitland had the better with a few more chances that could have led to goals well done to ben marting with his double its what a striker is there to do and he does it week in week out. maitland first goal was a keeper mistake but too his defence the wetness of the pitch played a impact in that but first grade keeper should save them. he did make up for that saving a pen and which in my own think it was a pen and lucky that it wasnt clear as to which defender brought him down cause it could have ended a early night for him but the ref did get that right.
but i think the game was a good hard contest and what you expect from the top two fighting it out
