a little hard to draw too many conclusions given the two game difference

Goal diff is a pretty good indication and at the halfway point Bay looks the goods for the 1st trophy.

Andrew Parkinson Previews Round 11 of the Zone Premier League


Round 11 of the Zone Premier League season kicks off this weekend with several important fixtures set to affect both ends of the table.

In the match of the round, University host Cooks Hill United at Ray Watt Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Uni will be fresh after their wash out last weekend and will be desperate for a win to keep them in touch with the finals.

Uni is equal fifth on the table, four points adrift of New Lambton.

Cooks Hill will be looking to continue their fine recent form to stay within touching distance of the top of the table.

United, third on goal difference, were 3-1 winners last time out over Plattsburg Maryland and a win here would see them go five games unbeaten.

Also on Saturday, Morisset travels to Cardiff No.2 Oval to take on Cardiff City looking to finally kick start their 2012 campaign.

Last season’s grand finalists are rooted to the bottom of the table and are the only team to have failed to win a match so far.

Cardiff is level with Uni in fifth and will see this game as vital to keeping themselves on the cusp of the finals.

Mayfield United will be hoping the week off freshens them up when they host Swansea at Mayfield Park.

Mayfield are ninth and will be in for a tough afternoon against the in-form team in the competition.

Swansea has won their last four in a row, moving into second place in the process.

However, with the tightness of competition this season, any slip up will give hope to the chasing pack.

In games on Sunday, Plattsburg Maryland will be looking to stop the rot when they host New Lambton at Col Curran Oval.

After a strong start to the season, Plattsburg have now lost their last three matches, sliding to seventh.

They are five points from their opponents on Sunday afternoon and a win is essential if they are to keep touch with the Eagles.

New Lambton will be looking to maintain their charge towards the top of the table, having accounted for Cardiff 3-2 at home last weekend.

In the final match of the round, top of the table Warners Bay host Dudley Redhead needing to win to maintain their place.

The Panthers have two games in hand on the teams chasing them; however, the problem of midweek fixtures and tiredness may become difficult.

Dudley was disappointing last weekend losing their derby at home to Swansea and the Thistles will be looking to bounce back with the scalp of the high-flying Panthers.

Morriset had nothing from the minute the game started.

The midfield was rarely coming back to the help the backs which ended up with 2 or 3 Cardiff players free or unmarked.

morisset have lost a whole lot of their players to state league.

Round 12 of the Zone Premier League season kicks off this weekend with a huge top of the table encounter.

Cooks Hill United host Swansea at the Newcastle Athletics Field on Saturday afternoon with both teams needing a win to maintain their place near the summit.

The winner of this match will keep the pressure on Warners Bay, while the loser faces the danger of slipping outside the finals places.

Swansea have been on an excellent run of form lately, winning their last five matches in a row.

Their last defeat came back in mid-May when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Warners Bay.

Since then they have conquered all comers including an impressive 2-1 win over New Lambton and a hard fought 1-0 victory in their derby contest with Dudley Redhead.

Last weekend Swansea overcame Mayfield United 2-0 and will be looking to make it six in a row on Saturday.

Coincidently, Cooks Hill are also five matches unbeaten with their last defeat coming on the same day as Swansea’s, also at home and by the same score line – a 1-0 defeat to New Lambton.

United were impressive 4-1 winners away at University last time out and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run with a win over Swansea.

In other matches in round 12, top of the table Warners Bay travel to Mayfield Park to take on Mayfield United on Saturday.

The Panthers eventually defeated a valiant Dudley Redhead last weekend, while Mayfield face their second tough test in as many weeks after losing 2-0 by Swansea in round 11.

University host Plattsburg Maryland at Ray Watt Oval on Saturday looking to bounce back from their defeat to Cooks Hill.

Plattsburg Maryland need to rediscover their early season form if they are to maintain their finals challenge and a win against Uni would put them right back in the hunt.

On Sunday, New Lambton travel to Dora Creek Oval to take on Morisset hoping for another victory to further strengthen their hold on fourth place.

The Eagles have two games in hand on most sides in the competition and will believe they can climb even higher before the end of the league season.

Morisset’s disappointing campaign deteriorated even further last weekend when they were thrashed 8-0 by Cardiff City.

The 2011 grand finalists are currently rock bottom and still the only team yet to register a win.

In the final match of the round, Dudley Redhead host Cardiff City at Lydon Oval.

Hello all. Enjoy the break?

A reminder for wet weather.
Club Exec are NOT to ring other club exec/coaches on match days to see games are on or not.

There's clearly a proceedure where 1900 numbers and websites are to be consulted.
One of our Exec members was woken by some knob 4 weeks ago at 7:30am (he wisely didn't pick up)
and left a V/message, asking if we were on at Athfield or not. (as if we'd be off....)
Said person mentioned what club he was from but didn't leave a name either!
And they accused us of being amateurs....

it ended 2-1 to Warners Bay

both sides were guilty of missing opportunities that would have drastically altered the game

there was some great work in defence at the end at both ends and Cooks Hill were unlucky not to get even hitting the inside post near the death
