I’d suggest the answer is the same as a few teams. Their best 11 are mid table at best and without the depth even if you take out 1 or 2 from the best 11 they become a bottom of the ladder teamQuote:

Cooks Hill should use their reserve grade defenders in first grade more often as they are the only grade that has kept a clean sheet.
Evans Park was the place to be for goals with 21 score with a 50m contender for own goal of the year. Please Dear Sweet Baby Jesus let someone have footage and share.
Myers Park was the place for punch ups.
Word is out this is the most interesting page on this forum with the tipping competition the buzz of Newcastle Football.
Warners Bay thrash Cooks Hill, Kotara stun Azzuri and Mayfield v Swansea sent everyone home bored and grateful they didn't have to pay to watch.
Plenty of banter, few beers and I hope everyone enjoyed. God bless the ZPL.

sorry bigcheese, no footage, but that's his second OG in 3 weeks.
It was a coward punch/king hit. Luckily more grazed probably luck for his sake. One of the Dudley players dished out some justiceQuote:

There will be punishment from the federation and then from the club. We will wait to see what comes of it. Don’t feel there’s any need to continue on with it, as everyone is on the same page.Quote:

We as a club have cracked down on our discipline and that brain snap is just our first red across all grades this season. I know a lot of other clubs have been much worse than that!
Well said. I think any team mate would do the same as the Dudley guys. I heard the Suns own team mates were extremely vocal towards him post game for the action which I take my hat off to. First red card in 20 plus games across all grades is impressive.Quote:

Well just imagine your teeing off at waratah 1st hole and your ball hits the mines rescue sheds across the road.Quote:

But my imagination of old mate having a huge shank and his face when he realises its going in will have to do.
Far better topic of conversation than the altercation that we can only hope is a one incident for the season.
Now for the real reason we come here. Update on the tipping please.
As good as Roy Drinkwater’s Peck?Quote:

The goal in question can be seen from 10' mark almost exactly.
Appropriate music accompanies said goal :rof:
Also of note, 2 interesting tackles back to back: 9' and 9'24'.
I remember the game the 2nd one occured.
1981:- We were down 0-2 and coming back. Get to 1-2 and after that tackle on Fashanu,
he goes off and we scored a late one for 2-2. Felt like a win.

Suns Azzurri game sensational to watch.
I hear the new Azzurri goalie let his old Suns team mates have it verbally and got a red card. Then it got physical. Please tell me it’s trueQuote:
