Carn Stocko, I'm pretty excited for this year. Can't wait to test ourselves in league 1
Jesmond ZL1 will commence training tonight and continue Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6pm at Heaton Park Jesmond. Different squad this year with losing a few to Charlestown and also gaining some. Will know more after tonight but still think we're looking to fill some spots in the squad.... Phone Mick on 0412 449 33 or Luke on 0431 331 889.
So how are teams looking for the upcoming season ?
At Kotara Tigers we have had good numbers turning up, close to 60
First trial match this weekend against Olympic ID2 @ Darling St
Also Nesbitt Park has had all new drainage installed so hopefully for the first time that i can remember it will be able to cope with rain...
That's good numbers. How'd you go against Hamikton? They're a handy side.Quote:

Played cricket on Nesbitt Park this season and the ground was super green and left fairly lush, made it tough to score runs on but it'll be better for the soccer season no doubt
Last year it was alright.Quote:

That game was wild
we didnt go good against Hamilton - lost 3 or 4 -1 in first grade
Hamilton played very well and we were honking
won 7-2 in ressie
won 4-2 in 3rd i think
How many teams have someone active on the forum this year in the division? Myself play for Morisset we've had a mixed bag of results and unfortunatly a couple of season ending injuries already but are looking for a strong season..
Few boys from Stocko on here like myself. Plenty of bero boys from memory. Everyone will surely pipe up come season kickoff
Motown repping emoQuote:

Heat was an absolute killer. Felt like we could only give 50%. Grass was taller than you'd see in an African Safari. Good for the fitness but
No 3rd game ?Quote:

Harbour derby is a good day, when at yours hit the washtub after, and ours at lowlands. Yeah we've got a fair few ZPL guys drop down now we went into newfm so we feel pretty strong in 1sts and res but you never know till season starts. No idea what 3rd grade is like in ZL1Quote:

Cb and cm were a part of every 1st grade award on presentation night. They may play this down but it's the truth. Other teams such as Kotara have been in ZL1 a lot longer than our one year too.
As for our win over Toronto, yes we're proud of that but without being disrespectful I'd be concerned going into their season. Until the authorities realise that all this criteria actually prevents teams 11 - 20 from actually competing against each other then there will be disparity in 2nd division and ZPL.
Look some team has to get the favourite tag!! Jesmond who made the GF last year and played brilliantly should have it on that basis.
I don't know bout some new teams coming in but I do know that we will respect all teams and I think that this year it's totally up for grabs...
Don't know how many will be playing comp this weekend with the Viking Challenge going on up there. I think they start the same time as us.Quote:

If anyone is interested please PM me for contact details.
Hey Guys,
Warners Bay are looking for a trial for the Sunday 22nd March. Can use our ground. 3 grades.
Let me know if keen.
Cheers
Heard a rumour that Nelson Bay have gone down to 2's with Raymond Terrace coming up to 1's. Anyone confirm?
Haven't heard but I don't know why Olympic wouldn't come up they would do well
Have Olympic played any trials?
They have played us and their 1st grade was tidy and beat us lower grade different story... Haven't heard anything of what terrace has been doing? Mind you have heard little about the Bay this pre-season.... Would hate to see this division have a bye again
Lower grade different story? So they struggled?
