2021 is here, zone league preliminary draws are out.
A few old clubs back in zone league plus one new club.
Also a couple of clubs missing from draw, although some may enter after preliminary draw. What has happened to Jesmond?
Also Lochinvar entered last year and competed extremely well in combined zone league 2 and 3, but weren't listed?
I think Hunter Simba went early last year, appears they mighten get back up?
As for the new clubs, Morisset and Musselbrook are back. You would assume Morisset will be strong, big growth area and former powerhouse of zpl. Interesting to see both them and Charlestown are playing Sundays and west Wallsend are playing Friday nights.
Would have been ideal for only one or two clubs playing Sundays. I'd say Charlestown are done for scheduling reasons as they only have one field.
Also one new club, South Maitland playing out of Gilleston heights. Possibly former players from Lochinvar, Maitland seniors or Maitland juniors have moved there?
Bring on season 2021
Great to see Mus Vegas back in. Nice day trip up the valley for the opposing teams.
I believe South Maitland are predominately the guys from Lochinvar
Just wondering if any teams are after players, just looking for club lower division with new family commitments.
How is everyone looking leading in to this season? Many flow on effects (players returning etc) from Covid?
Did Muswellbrook originally pull the pin due to ZL player numbers or other reasons? Good to see them back in ZL
Dudley are back after a years break due to COVID19, we had an all age team made up mostly of reserve grade from previous years. Still unsure totally of numbers, Probably won't know more until Wednesday 20th when training starts. But I have a feeling we will be chasing 10-14 players. If anyone is looking for a game send us a private msg or contact us on 0418453655
Looks like Lake Macquarie have a team in zl3 now?
9 team competition in zl3 with Lake Macquarie in.
7 team's in zl2 with Raymond terrace gone
Mate it’s very sad, my time at the Terrace was great we had massive turn over of players last year with a change of coach and last year was going to be the start of a rebuild. But unfortunately the year was called off for Terrace, and both myself and the first grade coach were offered opportunities to coach else where for this year that we couldn’t turn down which left the club starting from scratch. unfortunately it’s not always easy to attract players out that way for a rebuild. No doubt they will be back in the future tho.
Minmi FC are looking for a few more trial games this year. We are available any Sunday through March and can host or travel, anyone interested send me a message
Lakes ZL3 defeated 2020 ZPL Premiers Cardiff City 3-2 on Sunday in first grade. A good start to preseason trials for the fellas.
Good result for you in the end and your team should go well in your comp.
The first game made up of primarily 3rd graders and trialists was 5-1 to CCFC.
2nd game won 3-2 by you, was a side made up of some 3rds, mostly new reggies players and a couple of 1st players from last years squad and yes in the end we had our pants pulled down by a side who basically wanted it more than us.
So once again good result and good luck in 2021...
If any teams are after a trial game Newcastle Suns are looking for potentially 1 squad maybe 2 as first grade have trials booked in
If any teams are able to host we would be interested please contact 0421835026
South Maitland Phoenix is looking to fill a void in our trials schedule. Is anyone able to host us for both grades on Saturday 20th February (next weekend). We will be looking to bring 2 or 3 teams to allow our 16s to have a run too.
Please email president@southmaitlandfc.com.au or coaching@southmaitlandfc.com.au
Many thanks, and best of luck for the season!
Who are the Lakes boys? where have they come from?
If you are playing in Zone League 3 your aim for the season should be to be playing Zone League 2 next season. It’s all about having a winning mindset and not being content with mediocrity.
Cardiff City FC are entering a side in ZL3 to complement their ZPL squad.
Any interested players can PM me or contact 0418453655 or 0427254548
ZPL Reserve Grade side looking for a trial this weekend. If any teams are keen, please PM.
Does the interchange rule still apply to ZL3 Reserve Grade?
I'm pretty sure it's 2 in first half, 4 at half time, 2 in 2nd half.
Yo, defender here looking for a game in zone league this year, anyone still after players?
