Hey mate, Wallsend v Cessnock was:Originally Posted by sancho_theswan
1st Grade: 3-2 Wallsnd (Hornets led for the majority but let it go towards the end, sloppy but entertaining game.)
23's: 3-0 Cessnock (all class from the visitors)
19's: 1-1 Draw (a decent game to watch for the neutral)
17's: 7-0 Wallsend (wasn't there but not surprising to hear Cessnock only had 10 players.)
Was a great day at The Gardens. Club were all very nice to me and praised my work for New-FM. Gave me a purple charity jersey and a club jacket as well. I donated 50 bucks to their brain cancer donation appeal as it's a great cause. Was great seeing both clubs socialise in the clubhouse after the game. Thanks to the Red Devils for the hospitality. It was a pleasure.
Cheers for that Newboy!! I agree that Wallsend are doing lots of things right. I should also add, that in respect to this comp so are NNSWF. Hats off for their foresight to bring those clubs into the NEWFM and a massive congrats to the new clubs…. Cookers, Wallsend and Kahibah for stepping up and making this comp soooo much better than it has been in the past few seasons.
I agree. Was great decision to bring in the new clubs. I play AA for Cooks Hill and the vibe that it's brought to the club has been great. Our youngsters now have a pathway to a quality competition. I've found myself wanting to watch New-FM a bit more than NPL at times this season. It's a comp with some great players involved. Sure they probably won't match it with Magic or Jaffas but the standard isn't as bad as some think
Probably give Magic a run for their money, they way they are travelling at the monent
I'm actually involved with Magic as their part-time media man and I certainly wouldn't rule that out. Cooks Hill couldn't beat them at the moment but Valo or Lakes would give them a good run.
Another set of great games in the NEWFM this weekend.

Congratulations to Valo too.
What a great day at Blackies Oval today. Some really tough and very close games. OLD Boys Day was fantstic with an unbelievable crowd. The biggest one in many a year and they were treated to some champagne football.
It would be remiss of me not to congratulate Alan Hackett and his boys for achieving their season goal of NPL promotion. Also their U/19's on the minor premiership as well.
But those BelSwans boys pushed them all the way and can be extremely proud of their efforts today.

Valo haven't won the Minor Premiership in 19's. If Lakes win both their remaining games on Thursday night and Sunday they will win it.
That's true….. apologies for jumping the gun!
Lakes 1-1 with wallsend, I guess Valo Minor Premiers
As long as Valo don't loss to Cessnock. Hearing a Lakes player was knocked out after the match by a Wallsend player which isn't a good look for either club. Nobody wants to see that happen. Credit to Wallsend though as I've been told they're taken the matter very seriously.
A few players might not have been happy to not have a minor premiership.
Was this after the 19's last night ??
Its not a reflection on the clubs mate, I can honestly say that both clubs handled the situation well and defused the situation very quick. I would like also like to mention that Wallsend officials were fantastic after the incident and credit must go to their 19's coach and captain for addressing the Lakes players in the Lakes shed after the match.
The player who was taken to hospital with a bad break in his collarbone was also well treated by the Wallsend officials.
I was out there a few week's back when an opposition player went down badly injured. The opposition sent out a guy with a water bottle but Wallsend's committee all ran down from the grandstand to grab a stretcher. Was a reflection of the club's values. Good to see this situation was handled correctly and didn't escalate into an all-in brawl or anything like that. Horrible that it had to happen but it could have been much worse.
Any results from Kahibah today guys
17's was Kahibah 5-2
19's was Lakes 3-2
23's was Lakes 1-0
And at Half-Time, Lakes winning 1-0
