Tough day at the office for the Bay. Back to Mr schnitzel for a debrief...
Swansea v Uni
3rds 1-1
2nds 1-0
1sts 2-0
The swans continue their unbeaten run at home in all 3 grades.
5 blot with 10 men, Tigers had a player sent off just before halftime, leading 2-0.Originally Posted by The Spy
just a note to other clubs who visit our ground.
We have a liquor licence so please don't try and bring alcohol with you, poor form shown by some yesterday, they had everything bar the kitchen sink.
I thought the idea was to support each others canteens etc, that's we all make a little cash to keep clubs running.

So Cardiff had a player sent off and still won 5-0? Or were both teams down to 10?
[QUOTE=halo se7en;183477]So Cardiff had a player sent off and still won 5-0? Or were both teams down to 10?[/QUOT
fixed, with 10 men. Warners still had 11
Yep, Cardiff very good team and absolutely outplayed us, especially in the second half.
Good luck in the Cup!
Kotara v Dudley
1-0 1sts
0-6 Res
1-4 3rds
Dudleys lower grades very strong. Good battle in 1sts, penalty for the goal. All Kotara in the first half, Dudley lifted and probably had the better of the second half, but we will take the points.
On a side note, pretty poor form from Dudley turning up to an away game with no alternate strip, especially after us going out of our way to contact their "secretary" to give them the heads up.
Any score between Jesmond v Beresfield? I assume Beresfield won otherwise the Jesmond SuperCoach would've been on here saying how good they are!!!

did Kotara wear black and white or is Kotara's strip white????
Happened to us once (2011) at our home ground and the (Kiwi) ref pulled the pin
on the ressies game cause he thought the colours would clash in the light.
No away strip brought then either.
Even though we played a night game 2 weeks before - no problems with Kahibah.
Rules do state the away team for Zone/NL1/NPL (is all age still backwards with home team??) has
an alternate strip available.
But...I see Jardels point too. If main strips don't clash, who give a fug?
Dudley have black and white stripes, black shorts and today white socks. Kotara's strip is all black and have an alternate white strip. 3rd grade and 1st grade played in orange and black stripes from about 6 years ago and had to double up a few jerseys to complete strip. With Dudley being black/white they should have an alternate strip due to most teams having black or white as second colour. Not a big deal, but hard to watch res grade with Kotara wearing their white.
Rules do state the away team for Zone/NL1/NPL (is all age still backwards with home team??) has

the reason AA and Juniors are home teams is that most clubs, if not all clubs struggle to have one strip per team.
when its home they can have a few alternate strips available for an easy change if required.
imagine trying to organize half of the Cookers juniors in alternate strips. 20/25 teams???? it would be a nightmare
sorry, probably wasn't as clear as it could have been. wasn't referring to the fact they didn't have an alternate strip just for the sake of an away game. more that we told them there would be a clash during the week and there was very little effort on their part to avoid said clash.
as the Anvil said, not a massive deal, but expected a little bit better from an established ZPL club.
Ahem...former NewFM side.
This is incredibly poor for a club to have had notice beforehand and they still don't act on it. A few years back I was involved in a team and we wrote to the upcoming opponents and told them we would be wearing a certain colour socks for our home game and told them because we knew their normal kit had the same colour. They were thankful and brought a different colour to the game. It was so simple.
The (I think?) universal rule is the away team has to supply an alternate shirt & socks - whilst shorts are technically allowed to clash.
It's a disgrace for an away team not to be prepared in general IMO.
Last year in ZL2 Uni travelled to Westlakes and their white/navy setup was pretty similar to Westlakes mostly white kit. Reserves played, and IMO clashed, but for firsts we at Westlakes took it upon ourselves to wear our orange away shirt to reduce confusion. I think a few years back Garden Suburb gave Westlakes their away kit for a game at Gardo because Westlakes weren't prepared for their clash too? So it makes sense that the home team can, and sometimes do, save the day but that's not their job on a day where they already have a tonne of things going on.
I asked a ref a few weeks back about a visiting team wearing the same white socks as the home and their answer was "it's not meant to happen but they don't have alternatives". It's just not good enough IMO.
Probably 4-5 years back I was at a NNSW/Zone meeting and they said at the start of the season they would get every team to submit to them the colours of their home & away shirts, shorts, socks and that information would be distributed to all the clubs. Did/does this happen? If for example Cardiff went from all orange to orange & white stripes with white being pretty predominant colour, or say going from orange socks to white socks, are all clubs aware of this before game day? And just say that two teams main kits clash, but then using the information supplied to the Federation shows the away teams 2nd kit would clash, what is the go here? Say a team has black & white stripes, and the away team has a home white, and away black, kit, for eg. That would flag up as an issue at the start of the season and the teams can work around that however which way.
For any ultimate frisbee nerdz out there, if you go to play ultimate anywhere the common rule is you bring a "dark" kit and a "light" kit. Light is almost always white, and dark is basically any colour. It's the black/white combo kits that are the killer. But IMO every football club should have a predominately dark kit, and a predominately light kit, and bring what is needed to whichever away game they are going to.
OK

so much common sense, shame its not very common.
Wow aren't you total class. Just to clear this up. Received a call from Kotara Friday afternoon about the clash of strips. The official from Kotara offered up that they would play in orange. Return message was are you sure because 3 alternate strips could be there along with white shorts and socks. The person in question was nothing but nice about offering up to play in the strip. Our alternate strip is navy blue which is close to black as well. I think it lacks class to say what isn't true and then to say stupid comments like this. Wonder why nobody from our club usually comments on here. it's pretty poor
Navy blue is a poor alternative to Black white stripes. Orange or yellow or red would be a lot better
