West wallsend v Maitland
Firsts 2-1 Maitland
Reserves
Dudley v west wallsend
Dudley 1-0
Both games open for all teams.
was a good weekend of football with all grades and games still in for a fighting chance this weekend
Congratulations to west wallsend and Maitland for making grand finals in reserves and firsts respectively yesterday.
West wallsend too good for us, we were very poor and didn't adjust to the windy conditions at all. But no excuses, apart from our win last week west wallsend were way too good for us in reserves this year.
I thought if westy played a shorter quicker game they could have had more success against Maitland in firsts. In saying that the chances they missed in the first half came back to haunt them. Maitland through to gf
Grand Final Week
Surely Bolwarra are favorites to take out both grades and do a double double
Reserve 3-1 Bolwarra
First 3-1 Bolwarra
Bolwarra minor/major prems in 1st. Congratulations and good luck in L2. Easily the standout team this year. Hopefully we see you again in 2020!
Was correct with my winner predictions. Bolwarra clearly the best team this year, yeah true other teams could match them on their day. But bolwarra were consistent, no other team can say that.
West wallsend had the attacking weapons that could break the bolwarra defence in reserves. I thought they were specials to win the gf and it ended up that way.
Football finished for 2018, bring on next year. Im hearing 3-4 new clubs interested. Possibly shortland, greta branxton, tilligerry and south cardiff juniors whose name has popped up the last few years.
So we could have a 10 team comp in 2019? That's really promising for the leagues future.
Yeah I do live around the maitland area, travel don’t worry me too much spent 2 years at the Terrace which may not seem far but when you spend the majority of your football time living 5 mins away from the ground it felt like driving to Sydney for training 😂.
I did hear about Lochinvar but seems like there will be plenty of options which is great. Might have to have a look at them all and see who has the softest grass to dive on!
The competition needs to grow to at least 8 club's. The competition is getting much more competitive and is a much more attractive alternate then all age football. It appears more referees have made the switch to zone league football.
It would be great if we could get the zone league competition up to 40 clubs that are sustainable, year in and out.
We play A grade all age this year, local guys that dropped back from zone leagues mostly to get the team started. The field is Minmi oval, nothing spectacular but grass stays green all year and no cricket pitch on the field which is good.
We played against a very strong Dudley side this year it would be good to get any of those guys as fill ins if short on numbers for a week
You guys will be contenders in zone league 3 for sure. If you look at the teams that have come from all age A over the last few year, they have all performed well. Argenton were extreamly dominant in all age A and were extremely successful in league 2 and 3. From what Im aware, Bolwarra joined with an All Age A and B teams. They have made the finals in all 3 years they have been in. I guess it should be the progression from all age A to zone League 3.
As far as the Dudley all age A team goes. Yes, it is a very good team. Alot of ZPL and new fm experience in that team. But they aren't associated with us, they are with the Dudley senior club which operates the ZPL team. We are based out of Redhead
