Hello ZL2 it's good to be back. How do we think the competition will be this year, I didn't follow this comp that closely last year but I do believe the 3 teams coming up will adjust to this level and not just be here to fill numbers. In saying that I won't be predicting top 4 or anything as from previous efforts iv been left severely red faced figure Il save myself the trouble.
Welcome Sharky, good to see you guys back up along with Kurri and Simba. Always hard to pick top 4 until start of the season, should be a good year for all the clubs. Plattsy should be up and running at their new ground so will be looking forward to that one.
Is the Newcastle footballing legend The Pumpkin returning for another season?Quote:

The Dreaded Keeper & Clint coming back to the terrace? Is it official? 2 of the best players in the league right there.Quote:

Did you make any contacts with the Palestine team? Maybe we could sign a few of them as well :)Quote:

I think it was a communication breakdown and they meant to say Wondrous ��
Dreaded Keeper looking for a midfield gig again? if so may need some extra sessions to work off all those christmas Vodkas :grin:Quote:

Yeah should be good! Can't wait. Apparently Olympic are very good this year new coach new players they did Kotara 4-1 in 1st grade the other week not so good in ressies but
Just left the tav long enough to get to training last night I must say terrace will be looking to consolidate and build froward this year long road ahead at the terrace with massive changes I think anything near the 4 and terrace will be happy
Merewether vs jesmond (ZL3)
Res. 0-1 (called off after halftime because of lightning)
1st. 3-1
Merewether reserve grade had the better of the half, with more chances just needed better quality finishes. Jesmond's goal was well taken on the counter.
Merewether 1st grade was clearly the stronger team right across the park. 3 well taken goals and unlucky not to have more. Jesmond's goal was from a lucky tap in after a corner came off the front post and fellow favourable for them.
Would like to thank jesmond for both games, which were played in good spirits.
We are coming only nicely in pre season and are looking for a much more competive season this year from both grades!
Merewether is after a reserve grade keeper as our original keeper has decided not to play this year. Obviously if any keeper is keen and wants to push for 1st grade keeper, we're happy for health competition for positions! Any interested players or knowledge of any keepers the please inbox me. Cheers
How is every team's pre seasons been going? Looking forward to this season, it should be pretty competitive right across ZL2

Not sure of the make up of the Jesmond squad in both grades.
First grade seemed like a good game but I wasn't really paying to much attention.
Lost a few players thru various reasons pick a lot of young fellas for reverse grade so make the 4 in either grade we will be happy struggling year ahead for usQuote:

Good start for the terrace boys, a bit too strong at home.
5 goals to inform striker Kevin pebbles Roberts for 1sts
Tenambit v Uni @ Beryl Humble
Reggies finished 3-2 to Uni in a very tight, see sawing battle. First grade was a very different story. The match ended up 4-1 to Uni but could've been as many as 7 had it not been for some woeful finishing
I ventured out to see this game. And wow some of those misses, it seemed harder to miss then score. To blast it over from the 6 yard box with little pressure I'm sure both players who achieved this were looking for a place to hide.Quote:

I don't usually say this but the res grade game was a better game to watch two teams having a real go at the game and the late contentious goal for the winner what more could u want.
