So there's plenty of new teams in the division this year. How's everyone's preseason going?
Anyone know when the Official draw is been made ?
Some of the players at New Lambton already claim to have it, but our club secretary says it isn't out yet
We have a draft copy at Wallsend at the moment. I think I remember we have kahiba first up away on the sat 11/04. Im guessing as its a draft all games would be subject to alteration.
Anyone versed Abermain before?
Whats your colours ?
The association in all it glory has decided in the event of a colour clash the "AWAY TEAM" must change... Crazy, since the home side will have a change of strip in their sheds...
Anyway, Anyone here going to clash ?
TEAM Colours 1 Abermain ? 2 Dudley Redhead ? 3 Edgeworth Eagles ? 4 Jesmond FC ? 5 Kahibah FC Green & Black Strips 6 Mayfield United ? 7 New Lambton ? 8 RAAF Williamtown ? 9 Valentine FC ? 10 Wallsend FC Red & White
If you had checked the regulations it has ALWAYS been the home team which has to change-nothing new hereQuote:

I know Jesmond are red and yellow stripes Mayfield I assume will be green and gold stripes Dudley are white and black (white with black trim) Raaf are sky blue, Valentine im sure are full orange or they will be navy, New Lambton I think are navy aswell. The only two I cant think of are edgy who I last remember were also black and white, and Abermain cos there a mystery.Quote:

This is as Irish says the home side should have spare set in the sheds.
In Zone league it has always been the away side changes, has been that way for a very long time same as NPL, 2HD etc .
Pretty sure Edgeworth are red and black, whilst Abermain are red and white stripes with black shorts
TEAM Colours 1 Abermain Red & White Strips 2 Dudley Redhead White & Black 3 Edgeworth Eagles Red & Black 4 Jesmond FC Red & Yellow 5 Kahibah FC Green & Black Strips 6 Mayfield United Green & Gold 7 New Lambton Navy 8 RAAF Williamtown Sky Blue 9 Valentine FC Full Orange or Navy 10 Wallsend FC Red & White
Interesting to see some night matches over the ANZAC weekend

I noticed that in the FFA Cup Rnd 1 Results it had Belmont Tingira forfeiting to Newcastle Suns.
Does this mean that Valentine ZL3 team were not ready to play this match?
Or are there rules in place that one club - one entry? Where as the two Dudley teams entered are two separate clubs - Dudley Seniors and Dudley Juniors.Quote:

Berro and Mayfield and Dudley like you say do that.
The two Mayf teams are completely different, just like New Lambton, but Wallsend are the same club, same as if the Lambton Jaffas had a ZL side, it's still the same club, same as olympic and uni.
Clubs don't get around it this way. They are, in all of the cases mentioned above, in fact two very distinct clubs.Quote:

The seniors play at Dudley, do not share their oval or welcome the introduction of new teams to their club unless the new teams bring massive sponsorship $$$. United play out of Redhead. The 2 clubs have nothing to do with each other and are completely separate. I am sure Bero understand where I am coming from.Quote:

We had Raymond Terrace at Terrace on Thursday night and have booked in Warnersbay at Warners Bay for Sunday. Tell you what Raymond Terrace are looking the goods in ZL2 they are already ready for the season. One of the blokes was saying they have 42 players on paper with only 2 grades mentioning they have 19 players alone for reserve grade. How are you guys in ZL3 going for numbers?Quote:

New Lambton FC are looking forward to being apart of ZL3 this season and have had a solid pre season thus far. Our results have been as follows:
vs Plattsy (ZL2)
Reserves 2-1 Win
Firsts 2-1 Loss
vs New Lambton Eagles (ZPL)
Firsts 1-1 draw after normal time (5-4 loss on penalties) - FFA Cup Round 1.
Reserves 3-0 loss (vs their reserves/thirds in a trial match)
Vs Kahibah FC (New FM U/23s)
1-1 draw (a mix of our firsts and reserves)
We have an upcoming trial match against Merewether Advance (ZL2) on Sunday. Will update the forum on the results.
Good luck with your respective seasons boys, we are keen as to play at this level!!

no way you guys will miss out on the finals I will tell you that.
New Lambtons results has put the competition on notice, They will be strong. Ive heard Raaf have had a few trials too. Hopefully all these teams that have had plenty of trials peak too early and fade towards the backend of the season. As they will hit the ground running.
We held some trials in November and have drawn players from all across the board. A few of us played all age for new lambton last year, got some boys from Mayfield ZL, plattsy ZL, a few boys who haven't played before, a few that played churches, some from all age at other clubs, some from south Cardiff juniors plus some promising juniors from our own club.
Trial against Merewether Advance (ZL2)
Ressies 3-0 win
Firsts 4-1 win
Really good effort by both grades to beat an established zone league side.
The squad is enjoying their football at the moment and can't wait to test themselves in our maiden season in ZL3.
Heard Raff had a trial against plattsy. 3-3 draw in firsts, 5-1 win in ressies.
Yeah I saw some of that. Teams were pretty even.Quote:

I remember when Cooks hill only had 3/4 allage teams basically in lower AA grades not all that long ago.
What team do you play for hawk?Quote:

Both grades were fairly even yesterday and first grade was certainly a much tighter affair than the score line suggested.
It was just good to have a nice clean game of football beats some of the dropkicks you have to vs in all age haha!
Played for too many clubs, Northern, ID's, AA, churches, 30+ yrs will do that to ya.Quote:

Ive been watching ID's for ever but wont venture past Barrnsley till finals, the street lights end there.
Hawk aka " the phantom" doesn't matter where you are or where you are playing, he will be there with a comment, generally positive, always constructive.Quote:

Happy to see where we end up this year. By the way you forgot to say what team you are associated with? Obviosly one with high hopes.
