Yeah...guilty as charged.
Don't really come here apart to post scores...occasionally.
Backtracked and yeah, now I get it.
TL;DR some of it. Consider me a 1st grade snob.
Sorry lads but atm, it's the ZPL thread ftw, although cred to ZL1 for going head to head with
ZPL on the thread the page count
Maryland vs Suburbs washed out.
Westlakes v New Lambton
3rds 1-1
Res 0-0
1st 4-2 WL
3rds
-Westlakes opened the scoring with a header and went into the break 1-0 up. Both sides missing good chances through out the game and NL chipping the keeper with about 15 to go to level it. I think only 1 Westlakes player got a yellow and at least 1 NL player.
Res
- Match got delayed when a WL player fell awkwardly after contesting a header about 20-25 mins in the first half. Everyone at the ground looked after him and thanks to NL for assisting where possible. Game resumed on the bottom field after some quick setting up and 30 mins of the second half was played.
1sts
1-0 at HT to Westlakes and went up 3-0 with about 20 mins to go. NL keeping it interesting with 2 well finished goals from the counter.
Safe to say -
Azzuri, Cookers and Westlakes will be 1,2,3
The fourth spot is anyone’s at this stage, latest results making it a very interesting fight for the 4th spot.
Stockton vs Wallsend: Wallsend pick up a much deserved win. 0 points
Jesmond vs Uni: HUGE result here for Jesmond to get a draw against a strongly backed Uni side. Uni holidays play a part maybe? 0 points
Cooks Hill vs Azzurri: To be honest, Azzurri's defense was as solid as a rock and probably deserved to have won 4-0 if not for a very soft penalty given to CH. 0 points
Maryland vs Suburbs: WASHED OUT
NL vs WL: Good result for Moz's troops. Moz also reports that there was more than one yellow so that means.... 0 points
After a solid couple of weeks of tipping I have come crashing back down to Earth in spectacular fashion.
TOTAL: 0 POINTS (pending Suburbs vs Maryland catch up game)
Cheers to Westlakes for hosting us Sunday, much better than having to play midweek catch ups.
All the best to the fella from reggies too, hopefully nothing too serious.
Parra didn't score
The battle to #survivethedrop is probably more exciting than the battle for promotion.
Mathematically, every team besides Azzurri and CH could still be relegated. Jesmond beating Uni on the weekend goes a long way to them avoiding the dreaded double drop. Uni play Stockton this weekend in what is probably the match of the round in the #survivethedrop excitement stakes.
I think we can safely rule out WL, NL and Maryland. That leaves Wallsend, Suburbs, Stockton, Uni and Jesmond.
Personally, I think Wallsend and Suburbs easily have the quality to keep them up. Stockton, Uni and Jesmond however, are a flip of the coin.
Uni have Stockton this week and Wallsend the next. If they don't pick up points in those game, I think they are toast because I can't see them getting anything from their final 4 games (WL, Burbs, Azzurri, CH).
Uni are my favourites for the spoon. What do others think?
I think the top 2 is safe - after that everything is still well and truly up for grabs.
We would be disappointed if we weren't able to make 3rd our own and make up for our disappointing start to the season, but definitely not taking anything for granted.
Thanks to you guys as well, as you said, much better to get the game done on the weekend than have the catchup game hanging over everyone's heads. Much appreciated.
I believe the latest is high grade ligament tear - he's in a moon boot and looks like he has a baseball for an ankle.
Tend to agree with you Butch, I was actually prepping to take a punt on Stocko but after having a quick squiz at the results, I think I'm gonna say Jesmond - they have a tough run home having already played Uni, Stocko and Wallsend this round.
Still anyone's game for both relegation and finals, pretty cracking comp this year.
Honestly for last place I can't see how you guys can look past Maryland.
OK
