Fletcher fc are the Lakes Zl3 team from 2024. I know there was and possibly still interest from 2 other groups in joining to take the 12th and last spot.
Confirmed teams for this grade? Heard a rumour Valentine entering?
Part of the new change to Promotion / relegation rules out Valentine entering a team.Quote:

The new changes have been highly debated, controversial to some. They are in now, let's see how it works.
Wonder if Valo could still enter under a slightly different name. eg Valentine juniors etcQuote:

All under the same banner. Seems existing clubs with both are grandfathered in.
Good if they could do something there as it would make 12 teams. But unless those guys went to another club without a team, otherwise, it won't happen.Quote:

Unless something happens in the next week or is happening behind the scences I can't see a 12th team. Only realistic way of a 12th team is that the Valentine group go to another club and start there.Quote:

Argenton is probably the next option. South Cardiff could be an option as their club is still split I believe, South Cardiff fc and South Cardiff Community fc. South Wallsend. Jesmond
Or something happens at the Valentine club to make it happen.
As for clubs coming up with a squad with little notice. South Wallsend had 2 higher all age teams last year, that's probably an obvious one.
Maryland Fletcher could work.
Options are also limited by any of these clubs wanting a Zone League side as well.
100% correct, big issue moving forward. If clubs can't field multiple squads we need more clubs to take on squads. Otherwise the competition has the ability to loose squads and go backwards. It appears the players are there possibly for at least another team or two.Quote:

Hey also in the same situation, looking for a club have played just looking to play ressies with some coaching commitments as well
Mayfield united juniors zl2 are in search of some new players.
New year New coach new direction
Supportive team environment
First grade win bonuses
Motivational incentives
Growing club with community spirit
Training 6pm Tues Thurs Stevenson park mayfield
More info mujsfc_zpl@hotmail.com
How do we think this comp is shaping up? Similar to last year?
Heard Rutherford are formed from Weston/maitland NPL juniors who weren?t going any further, could be a surprise package
Imagine Kurri, suburbs probably battle for top spot
Medowie also signed a few from Stockton and might be alright. Whether they can be consistent or not, that's a different story.
Round 1
Southern Lakes v Fletcher
Rutherford v Medowie
Bellbird v Greta Branxton
Barnsley v Kurri
Merewether v Garden Suburbs
Bye: Charlestown
Mayfield juniors need players. Come on down 6:00-8:00 Stevenson park Tuesdays and ThursdaysQuote:

What trial games are getting played this weekend?
Hi everyone,
Long time lurker very infrequent poster.
We are scrapping for numbers this year which is really unfortunate. We have a big junior base but just can?t keep the talent for seniors.
I thought I?d put the feelers out there if anyone is looking for a team or just wants to have a kick with a few legends. We will literally take anyone at the moment.
Cheers,
Medowie FC

Charlestown 3-0 over suburbs in ressies
2-0 first grade.
Wow. Charlestown are the real deal this season, suburbs to struggleQuote:

Come down to Evans park this weekend to see :)Quote:

Cardiff are beating new fm teams can't imagine how many they are going to put past Barnsley?Quote:

Medowie minmi aus cup score?
3-2 minmi, minmi were 3-0 after the first half. red card for one of the medowie boys after putting a minmi player in a headlock and getting a 2nd yellow.
Ah crap, one of the Diaz boys im assuming. New year, same medowie. Put a line through em
Merewether suburbs score??
