With ZPL and ZL1 comps starting 3 weeks earlier than ZL2, are there any ZL2 clubs looking for trial games on either 25th/26th of March or 1st/2nd of April against another ZL2 side?
Any zl2 side want a trial 4/2
Croatia looking for a trial this weekend. Any clubs interested please email
croatianewcastlefc@gmail.com
With the draw out now, what has happened to Kahibah Rams?? Their fixtures page says they are in ZL2 but they don't have any fixtures. They were very active in recruitment so i can't imagine they've folded...
They dropped out a few weeks. Apparently some players left to go into the new fm squad which left them short.Quote:

Cardiff Zone League 2 are looking for a goalkeeper. Enquiries can be made through Kieran on 0418453655
Anyone still looking for trials? North United have a vacancy, looking at mid next week to get in before Easter and can host.
Flick Nathan a message on 0422704703.
Lambton Jaffas Juniors to fly the flag for ZL2 against Valentine in round 4 of the Australia Cup.

Thanks to Medowie for hosting on a warm day. They pressed us from the whistle and it was hard to get out of our own end. We went down 3-0 by the half. A bit more of a same in the second half, with a red card not helping us. Their midfield really contained us controlling the play and the defence kept them high and solid. We are a better team then how we played so we will put it down to first game jitters.
In reggies it was similar. Medowie went up 3-0 at the half and both teams coasted in the second half with the hot conditions and the scoreline. They sealed the win with a fourth goal.
All the best to Medowie, they will be a top side this year and we look forward to hosting them in the return match.
Cardiff v cooks hill
First 2-1 cooks hill
Reserves 5-0 cooks hill
Cooks hill definitely one of the teams to beat this year with obvious ZPL class players. As for Cardiff, decent effort considering we had 10 players, mostly first graders out.
How did everyone go with getting Ref's last weekend?
With Junior and Social football starting and all but 2 Zone League game day on Saturday this weekend will be a good indication for what the season will look like.
Any predictions for the weekend??
My prediction
50% chance of rain with all games being played.
Cooks Hill V Nelson Bay
Athfield
Res CHU 1 v NB 4 (0-2?)
1st CHU 4 v NB 0 (3-0)
Thanks Retro Jet
More results from yesterday, I did get them second hand so could be wrong
Kurri 2 v Barnsley 2
Greta or Branxton 1 v Lambton 1
Cardiff v southern united
Firsts
cardiff 0 v southern united 2
Southern dominated the game in the first half and had all the play. Cardiff regrouped in the second half and Finished the better of the two teams with a few good chances. But the damage was done in the first half.
Reserves
Cardiff 0 v southern united 3
Good effort by Cardiff, but southern had too much class.
Southern are definitely the team to beat in both grades. They already look hard to beat for the minor premiership. Southern look a club that could easily be in ZPL in a few years.
Barnsley v Cooks Hill
Why do we have no refs????
Res 2-0 CH
a CH team practiced at throwing elbows, particularly to the throat keeping a Barnsley striker stuck to the bench. (He needs to drink some concrete and just play :) )
Firsts
2-1 Barnsley
controversial final whistle coming at the 85th minute, only to be turned over and another 10 played??
what's more controversial is the CH canteen selling soft drink for $4 and still appearing as "Zone Premier League" in the bank statement
Because teams insist to play on Saturday despite being told every year that you won't get ref's on Saturday.Quote:

Lambton played well and deserved their win. Cardiff down 10 players unavailable, probably the reason the Reserves got up with a couple of guys doubling up but makes it tougher for firsts.
Barnsley v SUFC
The mighty Barnsley ressies got a minor reward for playing good football all season taking a point from southern in a physical affair (1-1)
Firsts 3-1
This was probably a closer game than the score suggests 0-0 at half despite chances both ways.
Southern broke the deadlock in the 70th sending Barnsleys golden boot off the field in a huff in his first start in striker since his hat trick.
Southern hit again in about the 75th to make it 2-0
However the Barnsley mistake merchant came off the bench flying scoring of a poor play out from the back, slotting in in near stick (2-1) is this SUFCs first goal from open play??!?
A hand ball from the CB I?ve heard described as the ?Rolls-Royce of Zone League? let Southern have a pen at the death with no time to even kickoff.

its zone league, everyone has unavailables every weekend :roflz:
Looks like the FBI's best are on the case with their best detective work. Some of your best work. Shame your a few weeks late.Quote:

In saying this , in 2 of the fixtures we had double figures of players unavailable. That's over a third of our squad unavailable. Is it an excuse , maybe? Is it frustrating for the group, For sure. I think results and player availability go a little hand in hand. I'm not the only one that has made these 'Excuses' on the forum, but I'm happy for you to keep lurking......
Had a nice chuckle to this. Nonetheless, best wishes to Cardiff in their struggle with players. A good club vibe over thereQuote:

'Every loss' That's a bit off the mark. I call it the way it is, for starters we have a fair few guys from regional nsw that go to the uni. At different times of the year they go home for up to 7 weeks. The last 3 years we have had around 10 players that fit into this category.Quote:

Cooks hill were impressive in both grades last night. I think they will end up top 3 in both grades.
