    He is a high scoring forward from Westlakes...... known to dominate opposing teams singlehandedly.

    Top bloke.

    Most centre backs think they'd make great strikers. Fen is a shining light for all those held in the chains of defence that they can aspire to be something more if the pesky coach just gives them a chance.

    After yesterday’s performance from our strikers I’m hoping our coach may think of a few changes like that for the last 2 rounds at least

    Fletcher all but done for a chance of finals. Positions remain the same as all top tabled teams had victories. Massive games this week with Azzuri v Stockton and Fenner v Maryland.

    After this weekend we should have a clearer indication of the remaining 2 teams to make the top 4

    So many teams in this league having to have players back up.

    Noted that Uni V Westlakes... Westlakes had quite a few 3rds backing up in Ressies and Uni had 3rds backing up in ressies and mulitple ressies backing up in firsts. (Uni finishing with 10 men with injuries accounting for 3 of their fresh players - First half 0 - 0, second half 0-5 !)

    Yeah we have had a few number issues second half of the season. I think we had 2 fresh players warming up for ressies on Saturday with the rest playing some part in third grade. Yet the week before I believe we had 35 ish available.

    The first half of firsts on the weekend was very high intensity with a lot of end to end, certainly a few of our boys were feeling it and no doubt the Uni guys were too. A bit more in the tank for the away team definitely ended up telling as the second half wore on. But having said that, I think Uni had done well to hang on to a clean sheet at half time, a bit of poor finishing and good saves kept the score level until then.

    Was a nice change to play on a nice surface on an away game. I think every team would look forward to that fixture for those reasons.

    Last weekend was the worst we at Wallsend had with players. We had 26 players available for the weekend meaning a heap had to back up.

    We had 9 fresh for ressies and 1 fresh in first grade, with a couple of third grade players playing all 3 grades. We obviously weren't expecting the result we got but glad we managed to grind it out.

    Big effort from all the guys backing up to get what would have been a great result anyway. No doubt one of the more satisfying victories you guys will have this season.

    Is Ray Watt on the higher limits of pitch size allowed? My word it is a big field! I've never fully understood why hungover uni students want to run so much

    it's 108 metres long x 68 metres wide

    which is the standard size for professional games

    legal variation in length is 90–120 metres and width is 45–90 metres

    and apparently you're not allowed a 90 metre square - the field has to be longer than it is wide

    Fricken FIFA party poopers.
    How about 90 x 91? I wonder if anyone has tried it on?

    B4 the modern Cookers existed, a lot of us played at NAWA.
    We had a ground out at the end of Creek Rd called Bill Potts Field
    Inaugural Cookers President and I marked it out 120 x 90 for the Spanish Cup we hosted one year. (1995? 1996?)
    Dudes were wondering why they were struggling making corners consistently into the box
