I'm calling the getting two jobs thing bullshit simply because it is so absurd for mines that are slowing down to suddenly find 2 jobs for 2 people. Unless one of the mine in question is owned by an individual involved with the club (though still dubious). Maybe the Royal is giving them $10 schnitzels and schooners for middy prices every day of the week.
2-2 Thornton v Cooks Hill. Cookers missing 5-6 first graders, Thornton apparently full strength. Subat played, quite intensily I'm led to believe. Interesting start to the year.
Trial Results today:
Port Macquarie FC 2-4 Cooks Hill United
I was out at West Wallsend for their trial against Cessnock City. Scores were:
1st: 3-1 Westy
23's: 2-1 Cessnock
19's: 5-1 Westy
17's: 3-2 Westy
A fun day but very hot in the sun for eight hours. Westy could and probably should have scored more. Cessnock were awful going forward and as a result kept coming back and being forced into sloppy turnovers. Westy have a couple of new signings who's names slip my mind at the moment but they're on the improve.
23's wasn't a surprise. Cessnock a quality side in that comp. Westy brought it though and were unlucky not to get a result.
19's was sloppy in first half but all Westy in the second. There was a scuffle between two players and both were sent off. Cessnock need to improve or they'll face a tough year. First trial match or not it wasn't the best result.
17's was arguably game of the day and saw Westy come away with a late win. Believe Cessnock have a few 15/16 year olds in the line-up.
I've heard the "Board" at Lakes being wankers once again NewyTy?

I'll do one closer to the season when I've seen Wallsend, Lakes and Thornton play but for now:
1st. Lakes
2nd. Kahibah
3rd. Wallsend
4th. Cooks Hill
5th. Singleton
6th. Thornton
7th. Westy
8th. Southy
9th. Cessnock
10th. Belswans
11th. Toronto
Heard some rumours about Belswans that make it hard to see them doing well. Toronto look very poor after two games. Cessnock didn't impress me either. Kahibah could win the whole thing based on what I know and have seen from them. Lakes have money and the players to win the league and would be surprised not to see them win it. Pretty decent table but underselling Cooks Hill IMO and not just saying that cause I'm from the club.
